    Amaurot

    Amaurot is really hard. The mechanics where almost impossible to dodge and even if I am not standing on marked floors, I still get hit.

    Can you add an easy setting on this dungeon?

    It isn't that hard. It may be hard because you do not have the buff given to you by Jalin. Near the final boss there should be an alternative route that leads you to an npc that you must save called Jalin. Doing so will give you a buff that will let you beat the final boss with ease. Unless you are complaining about the difficulty of the entire dungeon in which case I believe you must train harder in order to be the very best

    Look I dont blame you as every dungoen so far has been tame to pushover-easy, but the dungeon is FINE and the ones after it are 90% easier. I hate it when players wish for easier content so much so the game is so accessible toddlers can play it.

    If you successfully completed the dungeon, you arent ever required to go back. If you didnt make it to the end, we can add a few pointers to help(which might also help if you did win but decide to go back later). So at no point do any of the trash mobs have unmarked aoes. A few of the bigger pulls you might lose track of where an aoe is under a pile of bodies, but trust me it is there and all of them give ample time to dodge. So, bosses.

    First boss: Remember that he has a breath attack, so dont stand in front of him unless youre a tank. When he marks up the team with meteors you can either stack them or spread them out. Regardless, each one is a roomwide attack that does less damage if youre at a good enough range so find a safe spot. The rolling aoes move kinda quick, but are 100% predictable. The giant meteor shouldnt give much trouble. Then remember that every giant meteor is followed by a falling building. You dont know which side it will fall from, so stay in the middle until the AoE mark appears to give yourself more time to get out of the way.

    Second boss: This is just an add spawning fight with a mild DPS check at the end. Nothing tricky, though he does always explode at the end(the damage is different depending on how the group did).

    Last boss: The first attack you need to learn to dodge is the apocalypse attack. Its possible to survive with massive shields and heals, but OMG just find the safe spot instead. It hits all of the main platform, but the little side spokes are safe. However, if a spoke is cracked then it will break. So find a spoke without cracks. When he jumps forward, dont get left behind. Standing underneath him actually has an insta-kill mechanic. When he summons faces on either side of the platform, get ready to dodge. I line myself up with one set of faces, and move my camera into an overhead view. As far as i know there is no way to tell which face will shoot first, so if you guessed right great but otherwise move backward or forward into the safe spot. When the face stops, move into the alternate line and you wont get hit. Then finally, he has a directed forward beam. He doesnt have a tell for who he's going to target, so when he rears back to cast this be ready to dodge left or right. If he targeted you, move right away and you should only take 1 or 2 ticks of damage. His second beam will target someone other then the first target, so if it wasnt you be ready(or if you wind up stacked). The rest of his attacks are either undodgeable roomwide moves or obvious circle aoes.

    And all of that might seem like a lot, but its really only 3 moves. One you dodge off the side, one you run forward/back, and one you run left/right. Get those 3 dodges down, and then i bet youll be amazed how much easier the fight seems. You also didnt mention if you played with other players or trusts. If its other players, you might have just had a bad group(low DPS, bad tank, etc). Your next run could potentially be so easy and uneventful that you wonder why you thought it was hard.

    This troll thread feels like someone's trying to copycat Titanmen and doing a bad job of it. Either that or it's actually him and he's having an off day.
