Return of the Bull- How Did Anyone Beat it?

[PandaMonium]

For me the winning strategy was to use Sprint when a lot of Orbs are released. I just wasn't fast enough without it.
Stay calm in the last part when you have to kill Lakshmi and do the mechanics (spread/stack) properly.
I was doing the challenge on a WHM and was really stressed about my lack of dps when she still had about 20% and her "wipe ya'll" ability was about to go off.
But actually the challenge ended before we killed her so... stay calm, execute the mechanics properly and use Sprint.

I had a lot of trouble with this, playing with mouse and keyboard. The thing that saved me was when I decided to Keybind the Duty Action button.

Trying to use the mouse for navigation, then clicking the button on the screen, then going back to mouse navigation wasn't working for me.

I bound the Duty Action to "F", which is Face Target. After beating the duty, I restored the default keybinds.

Hope this helps someone.

Yeah, it took 2 tries for me, and I see it looks like controller players, like me, have an advantage since we can run around and hit the button freely from the default.

So I echo the advice of putting the duty action on an easy to reach spot on your hotbar.

As for the combat half, it's mostly tge same as Lakshmi, save you need to keep under Fordola's sheild instead of timing the vril. Everyone spreads out enough for Lakshmi's special AoEs, too, so keep tabs on the party the same as the HM fight. Arenvald is the main tank, and Lyse will LB when you get Lakshmi low enough.

When Lyse starts the monk LB animation, you did it!

Found it very easy and beat it on my first try. Just used my Ast. If you not done it before watch the video of it.

I grabbed a handful of Max potions from the MB as backup as well.
