The Navel (Extreme)
The Extreme version of the Titan trial. An 8-player encounter notorious for its tight execution requirements and punishing knockback mechanics. One of the original “big three” ARR Extreme trials.
Titan
Positioning
Everyone except tanks should stack directly behind Titan for healing efficiency. Use the edge as a reference point for dodging.
Phase 1 (100% - ~85%)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rock Buster | Tankbuster | Frontal cleave - tank faces away |
| Tumult | Raidwide | Multiple stomps - healers prepare |
| Landslide | Cleave | Line AoE with knockback - instant death if knocked off |
| Weight of the Land | AoE | Puddles under players - stack and dodge together |
| Mountain Buster | Tankbuster | Frontal cone with stacking debuff - tank swap after 2-3 stacks |
Phase 2 (First Jump)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Geocrush | Raidwide | Proximity AoE - stand on edge but not too far |
| Granite Gaol | Adds | Traps one DPS and one healer - specific positioning required |
| Bomb Boulders | AoE | Explode in drop order - move to first bomb location after it explodes |
Gaol Strategy: DPS stand under Titan (gaol drops there). Healer runs to far edge to avoid the yellow tether line.
Phase 3 (Heart Phase - 55% HP)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Titan’s Heart | DPS Check | Must destroy before third Weight of the Land |
| Landslide x5 | Cleave | Five-direction Landslide pattern |
| Earthen Fury | Enrage | Instant wipe if heart survives |
Phase 4 (Post-Heart)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Granite Gaolers | Adds | Must kill while handling other mechanics |
| Clockwork Bombs | AoE | Additional bomb pattern - find safe spots |
| Upheaval | Knockback | Knockback from center - stay close to Titan |
| All previous | - | All mechanics continue with increased intensity |
Triple Landslide Pattern
In later phases, Landslide goes in three directions simultaneously. Position to dodge all three lanes.
Tips:
- Stack behind Titan for efficient healing
- Many groups move as one unit to dodge Weight of the Land together
- Tank swap after 2-3 Mountain Buster stacks
- Use Party Finder - Duty Finder is not recommended
- Bomb patterns: first to drop = first to explode
- Upheaval knockback can push you off - stay close
