Explanation on how it works

Additional Ability
|
| *Tail sweep/trampling charge
|
If you are within melee range Raksha will perform a tail swipe with a large AoE.
If you are out of melee range, Raksha will charge towards you. Getting caught in the charge attack will disable protection prayers and stun you for 3 seconds.
|
GRAAAAH! or RRR... followed by ROAAARRRRR!!!. If struck by either of these attacks in phase 2 onwards Raksha will follow-up by yelling SUCH A FRAIL CREATURE.
|
| *Auto-attack (melee/ranged/magic attack)
|
Raksha uses all three styles of combat;
Melee: Biting and Lunging you.
Ranged: Launching Spikes.
Magic: Discharging a shadow ball of energy.
If Raksha is within Melee Distance, he will alternate between the 3 auto-attacks, and won't the use the same attack twice in a row.
If Raksha is not within Melee Distance, he will alternate between Ranged and Magic, and can use the same attack twice in a row.
|
When you are facing him as a Duo, he will launch it at both players, the primary target will be chased when the players are out of his Melee Distance.
|
| *Shadow Anchor
|
Raksha launches a shadow orb at player(s), applying a 6 second stun.
The attack will be fired on to a player's last standing gametile, which means you can move away before the projectile hits, to avoid this mechanic.
Make sure you are about 2 - 3 gametile away from impact tile
|
|
| *Shadow Anima
|
Raksha will spawn pools of shadow anima.
These Shadow anima will heal raksha on certain phases and can be easily cleared with AoE weapons.
|
|
| *Shadow Bomb & Shadow Bombardment
|
Raksha will walk to the centre of the first arena and discharge five blasts of shadow energy that damages per hit.
|
While this mechanic is active, damage dealt to Raksha is reduced by 90%. During the phases it is used, Raksha will also siphon from anima pools lingering in the oubliette.
|
| Collosal Stomp
|
Raksha will violently stomp the ground, causing the ceiling to collapse from above.
small rocks will fall down as a warning indicator, before a large rock falls down in a 3 tile from center (5x5 AoE) radius.
These rocks will also damage players next to them on impact, essentially making them cover a 4 tile from center (7x7) radius
|
Rocks will continually fall around the player's position, with one of these always in a spot that will always hit the player if they do not move; there are four of these rocks per player during the transition.
|
| Mind Flay
|
Players will become immobilised and between 2-5 orbs of shadow energy (2 by default, +1 for every 25% anima absorbed during the shadow anima pool mechanic) will appear around the player and will start dealing damage.
|
Raksha will stop using auto-attacks for 8 seconds during this time but at the end of the timeframe any shadow energy still remaining will deal damage towards player.
|
| Shadow Detonation
|
Raksha will stop performing auto-attacks for the duration of this attack while charging up shadow anima as a blue dome surrounds him.
Deal enough damage to break the dome. The damage varies based on how much anima Raksha had absorbed in the previous phases
If you are unable to clear this DPS check, you can hide behind any of the pillars surrounding raksha to avoid the instant death
Only recommended if the dome cannot be breached in time.
|
A bar will also appear above him; if it fills he will unleash a blast of shadow anima that causes instant death if not dealt with properly. The dome that surrounds him will de-spawn prior to the next instance of this attack, as a warning that it is being used again.
