Strategy:

  • Pay close attention to Spell-in-Waiting - it affects whether you stack or spread
  • When Dark Fire III appears, spread to avoid overlapping damage
  • For Unholy Darkness, stack with the party
  • Shadoweye requires looking away from the affected player, not the boss
  • Stand near Hand of Erebos to avoid the knockback

Notes: The fight is split into two phases. The key to success is tracking which abilities are delayed by Spell-in-Waiting. Normal mode is forgiving once you understand the core mechanic.
