Mind of Madness - Arisen Arak mechanic question

[Hewi]

Hey all,

Does anyone remember or know the minimum number of players required in each of the four 'bubble' mechanics on Arisen Arak in order to pass the check and continue on in the fight?
I'm well aware that it was designed for a 20-man raid, but going achievement hunting rarely consists of 20 players. Does anyone know what it takes to pass? We know that two people in each bubble isn't enough

4 should be your number.

4 should be your number.

As usual, you're right on the money.
Now, we only need 16 for Arak for a few weeks to get the rest of the achieves. heh.

although it is likely that shas is right, i do recall killing this with less people, i thinkk its only the front left circle that needs at least 4 people in, the other 3 circles can have just 2 (or maybe even 1) but im not 100% without further testing

Might be able to test that one!

How to turn Arisen Arak into Hardmode for Shadow Godslayer ?
Is there a trigger near the arena or do we need to play some kind of mechanic?

[Shas]

Hey, if i recall right, AA hardmode is not about AA doing something different but about the minibosses (Genesis, Envy, Enigma and Justice)

On Normal mode, the minis can spawn in the order you killed them before AA, (envy and Genesis usually going after another as they are one wing)

AA hard mode should simply have Justice as last miniboss. Since this mini mechanic requires space to do and AA's boss room starts to fall apart over time, the Hardmode really only comes from having Justice as last mini and thus less space to do her safety dance.

I can't 100% remember if you should kill Justice in Hardmode. Her hardmode already requires the other wings before hers so doing her wing last is a natural thing then.
(Her theme is about you murdering all the witnesses before and during her little court game)

The AA hardmode bonus loot then also comes from Justice, rather than AA iteself.


Someone correct me if it's all wrong.

Works well! we have done it with 11 people. 4 front left - 3 front rigth - 2 on the others.

AA hard mode should simply have Justice as last miniboss. Since this mini mechanic requires space to do and AA's boss room starts to fall apart over time, the Hardmode really only comes from having Justice as last mini and thus less space to do her safety dance.

Worked just as you said!
We finished our Conqueror yesterday.

Thank you both for your tips and help
