5:49 Anchag-This boss is all about the four statues. The four statues are your only defense from his killer move. The strategy here is for the tank to tank the boss away from the statues and for players NOT to stand by them since AoEs and the boss's targeted charge move can demolish the statues. If you are targeted with an orb above your head however you need to run behind a statue ASAP or you'll most likely die from the resulting attack. Really not hard just keep the statues alive and use them to win.

13:24-Boogyman boss fight. This one is interesting. The Boogyman will become stealthed during the battle and you'll need to kill the Luminescence and grab the buff it leaves to reveal him and harm him. He will also summon adds first at 55% or so and then at 33% or so. The tank stressed we needed to focus on killing them ASAP so I imagine they are quite dangerous.

When low enough he'll divide into two and the players with radiance will have to split up and find both. Then just finish them off.


20:22 Ferdiad the last boss. As the tank summed it up kill adds ASAP so we can dodge his AoEs. He has some AoEs you just need to dodge. He also will summon Adds, become invincible and begin charging up a devastating AoE that is constantly growing. Just kill the Adds fast to prevent it from getting too large.

He will also spawn slimes now and then to bind players. Kill the slimes to free them or they'll get hit for some painful damage.

He also has spinning scythes similar to the Jester in Manor Hard Mode. They have no telegraph though so pay attention and avoid them. They will then fire off in criss cross AoEs.

At the last part he'll trap two players with slimes AND charge up his growing AoE with Adds. So you'll have to choose what to do depending on whom he slimed. Generally killing the Adds tethered to him is the smartest choice since his AoE will wipe everyone but freeing your damage dealers can be necessary at times too. It's situational.

AK Hard honestly is...Not as scary or freaky as it looks or sounds IMO. I found the bosses in WP HM to be more challenging. I do love the atmosphere and the music though. I still want to know what instruments were used lol. I had a headache and wasn't feeling that great at the time but still didn't die barring the one time we wiped to the first boss.

I do love the DPS race they included though. That was a pretty cool moment, the arena and of course the know what threatening to close in on your party.

I just didn't find Ferdiad as hard as people were hyping him up to be. Not really many new mechanics to him. Lol I love how one of my party members called him Kefka.
