Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle
The second encounter of the Anabaseios raid tier. You face Pandaemonium itself, a twisted being formed from massive stones and gates, in the Daemon’s Nest.
Pandaemonium
A mechanically dense fight featuring web mechanics, wing attacks, and coordinated stack/spread patterns. Requires careful positioning and partner coordination.
Key Mechanics
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ultima | Raidwide | Heavy party-wide damage - requires shields and healing |
| Soul Grasp | Tankbuster | Tank buster attack requiring cooldowns |
| Dividing Wings | Cleave | Two winged rods tether to one DPS and one support, firing wide conal AoEs |
| Steel Web | Stack | Stack markers on players that web them together - tethered players must break webs |
| Silkspit | Spread | Web AoEs that tether to players and posts - spread to prevent tethers forming |
| Pandaemoniac Pillars | AoE | Pillars spawn requiring tower soaks |
| Pandaemoniac Turrets | AoE | Turrets fire in patterns - avoid line of fire |
| Binding Soul Snare | AoE | Debuff from webs - reaching 5 stacks causes death |
Dividing Wings + Steel Web
A complex combination mechanic:
- Dividing Wings: Two random players (1 DPS, 1 support) get tethered for wide conal AoEs
- Steel Web: Two other random players (1 DPS, 1 support) get stack markers
- Stack groups form: Players without Dividing Wings tethers stack with marked players (4 per stack)
- Webs form: Stacked players get webbed together with Binding Soul Snare debuff
- Break webs: The Dividing Wings players must run through the web tethers to free trapped allies
- Avoid 5 stacks: Reaching 5 stacks of Binding Soul Snare causes death
Silkspit (Spread Mechanic)
Requires pre-assigned positions:
- Web AoEs spawn that can tether to players and arena posts
- Spread apart to prevent tethers from forming
- If tethered when ability resolves, gain Binding Soul Snare (immobilizes, kills at 5 stacks)
- Assign spread positions before fight begins
Tips
- Pre-assign Silkspit spread positions before pull
- Assign tower positions for Pandaemoniac Pillars
- For Steel Web, non-tethered players stack with marked players
- Dividing Wings players break webs by running through them
- Never reach 5 stacks of Binding Soul Snare
- Healers prepare heavy healing for Ultima casts
- Communication helps for web-breaking coordination
