The Dragon's Neck
A comedic trial featuring the iconic duo from the Hildibrand questline. Players must manage unique Imp transformation mechanics while fighting both bosses simultaneously.
Ultros & Typhon
The octopus Ultros and his partner Typhon fight together in the Coliseum. This battle features unique mechanics where DPS are transformed into Imps and must collect “wet plates” to prevent a party wipe.
Arena Hazard
Players knocked off the circular arena are stunned for approximately 5 seconds and can jump back. If all party members fall off simultaneously, it’s a wipe.
HP Linking
Ultros and Typhon must stay within 10% HP of each other or they’ll share health pools, making it impossible to kill one before the other. Balance damage between them.
Phase 1
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Imp Transformation | Mechanic | After ~30 seconds, all DPS become Imps and lose normal abilities |
| Aqua Breath | Stack | DPS must position in front of Ultros to collect bubble stacks (wet plates) |
| Severe Snort | Raidwide | Party wipe if DPS don’t collect 8+ combined wet plate stacks |
| Imp Punch | Mechanic | After 3 rounds of bubbles, Typhon glows - hit him with Imp Punch |
| Megavolt | AoE | Circular AoE centered on random DPS players |
Phase 1 Strategy:
- DPS get transformed into Imps
- Stand in front of Ultros to collect bubbles from Aqua Breath
- After 3 rounds, use Imp Punch on glowing Typhon
- This prevents Severe Snort from wiping the party
Phase 2
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Snortsault | Knockback | Typhon uses 4-5 knockback wind lines in succession that rotate |
| Second Imp Phase | Mechanic | Same wet plate mechanics repeat - collect stacks and Imp Punch |
Tips:
- Stay near arena center during Snortsault to avoid being pushed off
- Avoid standing on the sides or behind Ultros - wind causes knockback
- Balance damage between both bosses to avoid HP linking
- This is a unique and fun trial - enjoy the comedic dialogue!
