The Limitless Blue (Hard)

A unique trial fought on a floating island against the primal Bismarck. Players must manage island integrity while defeating the whale-like primal.

Bismarck

This encounter features special interactive objects and a multi-phase structure requiring coordination to board and damage the boss.

Phase 1 - Chitin Carapace

Mechanic	Type	Description
Island Slam	Raidwide	Bismarck slams the island, stunning all players and reducing integrity
Add Wave	Adds	Defeat adds to ready the Dragonkillers
Dragonkillers	Mechanic	Fire both (north and south) when message appears to chain Bismarck
Chitin Carapace	DPS Check	Jump onto Bismarck’s back to attack - cannot damage from range
Whaleback DoT	Raidwide	All players on Bismarck take continuous damage - healers use AoE regen

Notes:

• Players must physically jump onto Bismarck’s back after harpooning him
• Repeat the harpoon/jump cycle until the Carapace is destroyed
• Healers should prepare HoT effects before jumping onto Bismarck

Phase 2 - Sanuwa Phase

Mechanic	Type	Description
Ul’Sanuwa	Adds	Must be tanked - keep separated from So’Sanuwa
So’Sanuwa	Adds	Must be tanked - keep separated from Ul’Sanuwa
Vulnerability Buff	Mechanic	If adds are too close, they gain damage reduction - tank on opposite ends

Phase 3 - Corona

Mechanic	Type	Description

Island Integrity	Enrage	If integrity reaches 0, the party wipes

Tips:

• Monitor island integrity throughout the fight
• Coordinate Dragonkiller timing - both must fire simultaneously
