Lonely Tower Fractal
“Immediately following the foundation of the Astral Ward, Eparch finally returned to Tyria to strike back against Isgarren's "betrayal"–this time, with a full entourage. Help Isgarren, Mabon, and Dagda navigate the crumbling halls of the Wizard's Tower and push the Kryptis back where they came from.”
Lonely Tower is a chance for us to experience the past and understand what happened between Eparch and Isgarren. Explore the Wizard’s Tower during Eparchs attack before being banished by Isgarren
Astral Purifiers
When you enter this fractal you will have to go to the right and get past a whole bunch of AoE’s that will be dropping down.
You just need to run past these and into the room at the end of the hallway - when you get through the hallway you will see Astral Purifiers that you will need to interact with
When you interact with each of the Astral Purifiers - when you do you will have to do a minigame of picking the correct skill between 1 - 5 - at the same time Avatars of Spite’s are spawning pushing towards you, and will explode when they do causing the minigame to fail.
These Avatars can be killed by other players while this is going on to prevent them from knocking you off of the Purifier and causing it to fail
After all 5 Purifiers are completed the team can head back to the start by running or by using /gg and being sent back to the start on respawn
There will be one final Purifier hidden at the end of the left hallway, once this is completed you can progress into the next room
Cerus And Deimos
In the next room you will have to fight Cerus & Deimos, two bosses you may or may not be familiar with as Deimos is the final boss of Wing 4 raid, and Cerus is the boss in the Temple of Febe strike
The main unique mechanic of this fight is that if the two are close together they get a buff called Brothers United - which increases their outgoing strike damage by 50%
Most teams will still drag the two bosses together and kill them as one - but this does requier a bit more coordination so make sure to communicate this with your team!
Cerus
Cerus will have several attacks he can do on the team, these attacks can stack his buff Empowered
Empowered - Increases damage by 5% per stack. At 99 stacks, Cerus's attacks become unblockable
Smash - Basic melee attack
Cry of Rage - Channel overwhelming rage into a massive cry - gains 1 Empowered if a player is hit
Despair - Manifest overwhelming despair onto enemies, leaving behind a damaging pool that inflicts Agony
Malicious Intent - Tether to an enemy and manifest their malice - Gain 5 Empowered upon consuming the malice
Deimos
Deimos will use several attacks and ground AoE’s as well as stack a buff called Devour
Devour - Deimos has consumed sins, increasing the demon's strength. Deals 2% additional damage per stack - gains one stack each time he passed over the Grasping Hands AoE’s that players leave behind
Mace Smash - Basic melee attack
Annihilate - First slam that makes a big shockwave
Grasping Hands - Grasping hands spawn underneath the furthest player from Deimos - when they are pulled in Deimos gains 1 Devour for each one consumed
Rapid Decay - Channels & swings maces for 5 seconds, then drops a damaging black field under the nearest player without Cerus's Focus, expanding with each hit up to three times. This is commonly referred to as “Oil” mechanic
