This guide is NOT a Manticore Nest Guide
If you’re looking for a GENERAL Manticore Nest Guide
This guide is more for people who are learning to Solo the nest and it gives you some advice as well as some tips that you can employ while tackling the nest solo.
Of course it still teaches you about the nest ; I mean if you can solo it then it should be the same in a party.
The title only gives a bunch of stats ; so most players will want to get it as a covering title rather than for it’s usefulness.
I’ll give a general run down on each boss and what to look out for here.
1st Boss - Stone Gargoyle or Rotten Rock Demon
Avoid fightning monsters or boss at the central area (Heals them for 6000HP per)
Avoid the Green AOE marker cast by boss on the floor (Traps you)
Avoid going close to the boss when he casts his poison fumes (300-500 poison dmg)
In general, 1st boss is a easy boss fight, try not to lose more than 20% HP in this area.
2nd Boss - Minotaur Gang (4 Minotaurs 4 Cages)
Isolate yourself from other minotaurs by fighting the minotaurs at 1 of the cage locations (preferably the first one)
Small DPS Race (Kill the minotaur 1 by 1 as fast as possible)
Some luck factor in place (Depends on which cage open first ; the order at which they open matter too)
Concept for isolation is due to the multiple buffs the minotaurs can cast on one another (defense + attack)
In general, 2nd boss fight is about isolating the minotaurs to prevent them from buffing one another. 1 minotaur is much easier to handle than 4 minotaurs obviously.
3rd Boss - Naga Queen
Some luck factor in place (Depends on which cage open first ; the order at which they open matter too)
Concept for isolation is due to the multiple buffs the minotaurs can cast on one another (defense + attack)
In general, 2nd boss fight is about isolating the minotaurs to prevent them from buffing one another. 1 minotaur is much easier to handle than 4 minotaurs obviously.
3rd Boss - Naga Queen
It is crucial for you to use this area to regain back your HP
Mechanicsm in place here is that you regain 2100HP for 4 ticks if you’re standing in the correct corresponding platform (watch video for pictorial view of it)
Don’t worry about the AOE skill used by the boss during the platform activation stage as it will outheal the dmg done.
Make sure you leave with 100% HP before going on to the stone golem boss
Hit & Run Tactic = easy boss
In general, the 3rd boss fight is easy, just don’t get caught by the poison debuff by the minion lizardman which will slow you down to make hit and running difficult.
4th Boss - Stone Golem
Boss has invincibility shield
Destroy dark crystals before attempting to kill the stone golem minions
Stone Golem minions dead = invincibility shield gone
Invincibility shield will go up again a 2nd time shortly after
Chance to drop HP/MP/Defense/Attack food (random chance) during 2nd spawning of minions (usually get the same type of food but chance to get a variation
Difficult boss ; hits hard and takes awhile to kill
In general, avoid the boss 4 main attacks.
1. Stone Throw (Easy to dodge)
2. Frontal Cleave Attack (Waves some rocks at you ; stay behind boss to prevent yourself from getting hit)
3. Slam down + Shockwave
4. Rolling Attack (Easy to dodge)
5th Boss - Manticore
I’ll explain it in terms of what you have to watch out for with relevance to the hp bars
5X HP Bar
Use tumble/dodge skills only for his frontal claw slash
Poison dart skill won’t hit you if you’re close to the boss
Don’t stand at the back of the boss (you will get tail swiped)
If boss flies up , he will immediately land, get ready to jump if you don’t have any defensive skill
3X HP Bar
Boss will start to use whirlwind (Recognise it ; he will rise up and claw the air, will end of with a hindleg kick)
Possibly blackhole as well
The abovementioned skills will still happen.
2X - ZERO HP Bar
Boss will start using the gravity acension skill
Look out for Gravity Acension skill + whirlwind Combo
Slam Dunk +Crecent Cleave Attack will start to occur
Should boss fly up, get ready to keep moving to avoid waves of gravity balls coming at you
Get ready to jump up into the air after you see the 2nd wave of balls land
All the earlier abovementioned skills will still occur
