Eden's Verse: Iconoclasm
The third floor of Eden’s Verse features The Idol of Darkness with mechanics based on light and dark duality. Players must manage color-based debuffs and navigate portal mechanics.
The Idol of Darkness
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Empty Wave | Raidwide | Group-wide AoE damage - heal through |
| Unshadowed Strike | Tankbuster | Tank buster requiring the tank to move away from group |
| Words of Motion | AoE | Birds spawn in sequence - start in front of last birds, move to empty spots |
| False Moonlight | AoE | Light orbs spawn and explode - avoid their paths |
| Away With Thee | AoE | Players teleported to circles - ensure your circle is in a safe position |
| Unjoined Aspect | Spread | Color debuffs applied - stand in front of opposite-colored birds |
| Idolatry | Adds | Add phase - tanks separate and pick up adds |
| Boundless Light | AoE | Light-based arena AoE - position based on debuff |
| Boundless Dark | AoE | Dark-based arena AoE - position based on debuff |
| Words of Night | AoE | Portal mechanic - avoid standing in line with matching-color portals |
Color Mechanics
Unjoined Aspect applies either a light or dark aura to players:
- Players gain immunity to damage from the opposite color
- Stand in front of birds matching your opposite color
- The debuff swaps periodically - reposition accordingly
Portal Mechanics:
- Birds fire blasts through portals of the same color
- Avoid standing in line with portals matching the incoming bird color
Strategy:
- Track your debuff color and position accordingly for Unjoined Aspect
- For Words of Motion, watch spawn order and be ready to move
- Away With Thee requires planning - know where you’ll end up
- During Idolatry, tanks should separate to handle adds independently
- Watch for portal colors during Words of Night
Notes: This fight teaches duality mechanics that appear throughout the Eden series. The color-swapping debuff is the central mechanic to master.
