The Cloud Deck

The final trial of the Sorrow of Werlyt questline, featuring the Diamond Weapon in a midair confrontation aboard The Cloud Deck—a mobile aerial platform.

Diamond Weapon

Phase 1

Mechanic	Type	Description
Diamond Rain	Raidwide	Unavoidable magical raid-wide damage targeting one platform at a time. Split the group across platforms to manage damage.
Adamant Purge	Cleave	Watch the boss’s arm to determine which platform will be destroyed. Teleport to the safe platform before the attack lands.
Claw Swipe	Cleave	Accompanies Adamant Purge. Avoid the marked platform.
Photon Burst	AoE	AoE attack requiring movement to safe zones.
Auri Arts	AoE	Multiple instances of targeted attacks.
Diamond Flash	Stack	Stack together to split the damage.
Homing Laser	Spread	Spread out to avoid Magic Vulnerability stacking from overlapping hits.
Homing Missile	Spread	Additional spread mechanic—don’t overlap damage zones.

Notes: The arena consists of multiple platforms. Watch boss animations to know which platform is safe for Adamant Purge.

Phase 2

Mechanic	Type	Description
Code Chi-Xi-Stigma	AoE	Initiates Phase 2 with new mechanic patterns.
Articulated Bits	Adds	Enemies spawn and tether to players. Move far away from tether source to turn tether purple, or you’ll die.
Auri Cyclone	Knockback	Blue knockback circles appear. Use them to help avoid Diamond Shot tethers by positioning for the knockback.
Outrage	Raidwide	Heavy raid-wide magical damage. Mitigation and healing required.

Notes: Tether mechanics require immediate recognition—move away from the source until the tether changes color.

Phase 3

Mechanic	Type	Description
Combined Mechanics	AoE	Phase 1 and 2 mechanics combine with increased intensity.
Diamond Shrapnel	AoE	Concluding mechanic with AoE patterns.
Enrage	Enrage	DPS check to defeat Diamond Weapon.

Notes: Players can fall off the platform but will be revived after a short delay. This costs DPS but isn’t immediately fatal.
