A Portent Most Ominous	Returning to the Trees

Walkthrough

• This mission splits into two paths, with two BCNM fights. You can complete these in either order.

Yorcia Weald

• Go to the southeastern section of H-6 in Yorcia Weald and click the Wavering Flux for a cutscene.
• After the cutscene, click the Wavering Flux again to enter a battlefield in Yorcia Weald (U) against Ashraak, a Xol.
  • Your Sky blue pome is lost upon entry. If you lose the fight, return to the aged stump in Leafallia to get a new one

Battle

• You are assisted in this battle by Morimar. If he is defeated, the battle is automatically lost.
• Alter Egos can be summoned in the battlefield. However, Ashraak is able to inflict AoE Silence and several other enfeebling effects (Plague, Amnesia, VIT Down, Shock, Choke, Magic Defense Down), so a dedicated healer played by a human is recommended.
• Buffs wear on entry.
• After his HP gets lower, Ashraak summons a Hell-spawned Orthrus to assist him.
• Ashraak will switch between thunder and air magic throughout the fight.
• Ashraak casts Thunder V and Aero V.
• Special Attacks:
  • Tearing Gust: Single-target knockback and Magic Defense Down
  • Zap: AoE Amnesia, Plague, and Shock
  • Chokehold: AoE Silence and Gravity
  • Shrieking Gale: Single target damage and knockback
  • Undulating Shockwave: AoE damage
  • Concussive Shock: AoE Shock
• Both Askhraak and Hell-spawned Orthrus are extremely susceptible to ice magic.
• Ashraak is susceptible to silence, slow, paralyze, frazzle, distract, bind, and gravity.
• Hell-spawned Orthrus appears to be immune to most enfeebling magic except poison.
• Special Attacks:
  • Lava Spit: AoE fire damage
  • Sulfurous Breath: Conal fire damage
  • Magma Hoplon: Blaze spike effect and stoneskin

Cirdas Caverns

• Go to the northwestern corner of K-11 in Cirdas Caverns and click the Wavering Flux for a cutscene. This is near the Sih Gates zone, but it may be faster to take the Augural Conveyor warp and walk through Cirdas.
  • After the cutscene, click the Wavering Flux again to enter a battlefield in Cirdas Caverns (U) against Dhokmak, a newt-like Xol, and three Malignant Acuexes.
  • Your Sun yellow pome is lost upon entry. If you lose the fight, return to the aged stump in Leafallia to get a new one.

Battle

• Buffs wear on entry.
• You are assisted in this battle by Darrcuiln. If he is defeated, the battle is automatically lost.
• Alter egos can be summoned in this fight, but a dedicated healer played by a human is recommended.
• Dhokmak is assisted by 3 Malignant Acuexes.
• Malignant Acuexes Special Attacks:
  • Foul Waters: Water Damage, Drown, Weight
  • Deadening Haze: AoE damage, Silence, and a Poison Aura
  • Pestilent Plume: Plague, Blind, and Magic Defense Down
• The Malignant Acuexes are susceptible to all enfeebling magic including bind, gravity, and sleep.
• The Malignant Acuexes are weak against elemental magic: particularly thunder and ice.
• Dhokmak does not use normal melee auto attack. Instead, he uses a TP attack every 3~5 seconds if his current target is in range that consumes all shadows. If his current target is not in range, he uses a ranged attack every 3~5 seconds that inflicts a weak poison on the target (<50 HP/tic) and ignores shadows.
• Special Attacks:
  • Fetid Eddies: AoE Gravity and knockback
  • Aurous Charge:
  • Nullifying Rain: AoE or conal mass Dispel (3~5 buffs) and damage
  • Noyade: Conal Silence and places a stationary pool of poison on the target (300+ HP per tick while in the pool)
  • Cesspool: AoE HP Down
• Since Dhokmak is extremely susceptible to gravity and does not appear to build resistance, a viable strategy is to kite him around the room and nuke him with thunder magic.

Completion

• After beating both bosses, Returning to the Trees is automatically flagged.
