The Word of the Mother
In all of creation, what greater mystery could there be than the fate of this very star? To sound the deepest depths, to study the aetherial sea itself─for these purposes and more was the Antitower built. Abandoned by her Sharlayan caretakers following the exodus, it has since been overrun by the magical guardians they left behind. Yet were one blessed with Her gift to brave these dangers and descend to the furthest reaches─to hear, feel, and think at the heart of this world─what would they find?
The first boss in the dungeon is known for spawning Adds (Choirtoad) throughout the fight. It has the ability to inflict the debuff toad on two players, which cannot be dispelled, and also spawns two adds. These adds must be quickly killed in order to dispel the debuff, which typically affects the Healer and one DPS. Additionally, the boss spawns two bubbles that inflict moderate damage and the debuff Damage Down. It is important to prioritize killing the adds if the Healer is inflicted with Toad. The boss has various abilities including Toy Hammer, which has a cast time and causes a DOT (Concussion) that can be dispelled, and Water Bomb, a circular AoE that inflicts moderate damage.
The second boss in this encounter is a spriggan that spawns three stones called Stardust. These stones have expanding AoE and must be destroyed before they cover the platform. Once the AoE is activated, the stones become solid. The boss emotes "Ziggy takes careful aim" and tethers to one player, but this can be avoided by hiding behind a stone. Additionally, the boss spawns adds known as Spriggan Gemcutters that must be eliminated. The boss has several abilities, including Jittering Glare, a frontal cone AoE, and Gyrating Glare, a platform-wide AoE that deals high damage. To avoid Gyrating Glare, players can hide behind the stones.
In the fight against Calcabrina, a giant doll composed of six smaller dolls (three Calca and three Brina), the smaller dolls will perform various AoE patterns before merging to form Calcabrina. It is crucial to eliminate Calca and Brina quickly, as they can inflict medium damage on the healer and the entire party during the dollhouse phase. Additionally, if you or another player has a red eye above their head, it is important to look away from Calcabrina to avoid the effects of a powerful attack. Calcabrina possesses several abilities, including Dollhouse, which transforms two players into dolls and must be defeated to free the players and progress to the next phase. There is also Slapstick, a channeled AoE attack used during the Dollhouse phase. Knockout is another ability that inflicts massive damage on the tank or other players if the tank is dead. Calcabrina can also Brace to parry attacks from a specific direction. Furthermore, Terrifying Glance targets a player with a red eye above their head, unleashing a frontal cone attack that causes confusion if hit. This attack can be avoided by turning away from the boss.
