The following guide will provide details as to the locations, requirements, rewards and strategies for each of the Elder Bosses within Villagers and Heroes. Elders are primarily group-based content, and when I discuss strategies I will do so with the assumption that there is not a higher level player available to defeat the boss for everyone else.The typical group template for party content consists of a single tank, a primary healer and a few DPS players.
See our member submitted walkthroughs and guides for Class of Heroes. Help for Class of Heroes on. 15178, Race/Major Guide (PSP) by Kazamu 23 Jun. The story behind Class of Heroes is this: there is a school where students come to train for a life of adventure. No nefarious bad guys, no super-evil plots. There’s just a school, and the students need to graduate. And speaking of students, you don’t just play as a singular character.
This is not a requirement by any means, and it is quite possible to defeat these foes with a variety of class compositions. That being said, it would be too difficult to develop strategies for that infinite series of scenarios, thus I have decided to use the template above as the basis for the fight tactics. Ceratiidae is similar to Headmaster Rotburga in that the key to his defeat is through vanquishing his minions. Once his health is reduced by a small amount, he will call 2 Abyssa to aid him. Defeat them in order to inflict a chunk of damage to Ceratiidae's health. Immediately after their death, 2 Pelogs will spawn.
Repeat the same process for them. Finally, a large Water Spirit will arrive. This foe has a much larger health pool. Once defeated, finish off Ceratiidae's remaining health.
The tank and healer should focus on Ceratiidae, while the DPS should kill the minions. Once the Water Spirit arrives, the tank should swap to him while the DPS assist.. Ostendar and Zagreb are linked together.
This fight requires either 2 tanks, or a single tank with a powerful (or multiple) priest. The DPS classes should focus on whichever enemy the tank is hitting, otherwise they might draw the second Elder onto them. It is recommended to kill Zagreb first, as when one of the two die, the remaining will grow in strength and size significantly. Zagreb poses the greater threat if left alive last.
An alternative method would be to whittle both of them down at the same rate, but this requires additional coordination from the party, as they should swap back and forth between the two, unless there are 2 tanks / teams (one for each boss).. Blighted Bastille (Keppel Cavern)Minimum of level 60 combatKeppel Cavern KeyBlighted Bastille KeyQuest Completed: Till Death Do Us PartOrog Doomslayer will spawn in his minions 4 times throughout the fight. Once near the middle, the second time near 30% health, and the final two times near death.
Each consecutive wave will bring a larger quantity of minions. Whenever the minions spawn, Orog is shielded against any incoming damage. Even if a single minion is left standing his health will not fall.
Save AoE spells for when he spawns in his minions. Ranged should stay near the tank / boss in case they begin attacking them. This way the AoE spells will hit all the minions.
Pyrus SolarMinimum of level 65 combatKey of PyrronRecommended: 75 Elder Relic TeleportersRecommended: QuestLord Pyrrus's signature move is a powerful AoE spell which will turn any player within its bounds into stone. This is telegraphed by him raising his hand, with a red indicator appearing around him. Run out of the blast radius, otherwise your character will be petrified for a long duration, unless a healer is around to cure you. He will also spawn in a plethora of minions, which can be ignored for the most part, except for his 2 waves of generals.
The first wave spawns an armoed and runed Golem. When they are alive, Pyrrus will heal and is shielded from damage. Once they fall, continue attacking Pyrrus. Watch out for his AoE fire blast! The next wave of Generals spawns two winged gargoyles, defeat them as the tank holds Pyrrus. They take much longer to kill. Having multiple tanks and healers is recommended for this battle.
Dijarra's LairMinimum of level 65 combatKey of PyrronRecommended: 75 Elder Relic TeleportersRecommended: QuestDijarra is a powerful Dragon who deals a large amount of AoE fire damage. He also spawns runes scattered across the battlefield which will damage any player who steps within. Keep an eye out for those! Dijarra's drake minions will spawn in and heal him, keep a DPS player on each side of the dragon to deal with those. If they are left unchecked, his healing will begin to outperform the team's damage. The Forbidden TowerMinimum of level 65 combatKey of PyrronRecommended: 75 Elder Relic TeleportersRecommended: QuestMutagen has a powerful AoE blast to keep an eye out for. It is indicated by her raising her club, with an orange outline surrounding her.
Any player within its radius should immediately back up, otherwise they will most likely die on impact, or at the very least, be stunned for an extended duration. Mutagen also heals frequently, and spawns in minion versions of the level 70 Elders, with similar abilities. Dartey WoodsMinimum of level 80 combatDartey Woods KeyQuest Completed: Deliver the ChallengeGraeme uses stock warrior abilities, and apart from that has no real damage to be watchful for.
His main ability is his shield, which he activates frequently throughout the fight. He indicates this with a chat timer above his head as well. Once activated, all damage done to him during his shielded phase will be converted into healing. Players should keep an eye out for this and stop attacking immediately! Dartey WoodsMinimum of level 80 combatDartey Woods KeyQuest Completed: Deliver the ChallengeArtrair is a powerful wizard who will spawn runes of fire underneath players throughout the battle. Standing upon a rune will deal a large quantity of damage.
Tanks should keep Artrair moving, preferably in a preset direction, such as clockwise. Ranged and support classes should stack up with each other and scatter to a new location as soon as runes spawn beneath them. If everyone is spread too far apart, then healers will have a tough time keeping players alive and fire runes will appear in too many places to avoid. NameLocationRequirementsStrategiesValaxTower of the StormMinimum of level 84 combatTower of the Storm KeyValax has a large AoE shadow blast as well as a couple of shadow DoT effects.
Weary Souls will occasionally spawn near Valax, and when defeated, a shield will appear in their place. Players should hide within this shield to protect themselves from Valax's charged AoE attack.
This is telegraphed when he stands still and emits a purple glow. Players who are not within the shields will take a large amount of damage, most likely killing them outright. DPS should swap to Weary Souls when they appear and target them. Communicate with your allies that a shield is up, so everyone has a chance to enter.BelxurTower of the StormMinimum of level 84 combatTower of the Storm KeyBelxur relies on his army of undead during this encounter. Once his health falls below a certain point, Slaves of Belxur will spawn in.
These foes will deal damage attacks to players, but are best left untouched. If defeated, they will explode and release an Abyssal Freeze effect. This will slow the movement and attack speed of any nearby players by over 60%. This effect can be cured, however.
As the fight progresses, more and more of these slaves will appear. The tank should lead Belxur around the ring in a circular motion.
DPS and support should trail closely behind. When a wave of minions spawn, continue moving in a circle to an open area. Priests use mass cure to ensure everyone can keep up and isn't frozen. The minions will eventually explode on their own as well, so be wary of this.GaamkiraTower of the StormMinimum of level 84 combatTower of the Storm KeyGaamkira specializes in poison based attacks, with a Corrosion and Toxic Jab ability which both deal poison damage over time.
Additionally, Gaamkira will send out a blast of Corrosive Empowerment, which will effect all nearby players. This will reduce their maximum health by a certain percentage, while also making their feats and spells stronger. This effect stacks, and can be deadly if left unchecked. This cannot be cured by a healer, but instead must be removed by drinking a consumable known as Poisonous Mana, which can be created using materials gathered from Glendergan.QuibachTower of the StormMinimum of level 84 combatTower of the Storm KeyQuibach is a melee based foe who gains charges of 'Proud Overlord' for every minion he has active on the field. He spawns minions frequently, and each one active will increase his damage by 10%.
The minions must be defeated, as they not only increase his charges, but they provide healing to him too. However, they have 'Demonic Skin' coating, which makes them invulnerable to damage. This effect can only be removed by one of Quibach's attacks.
Thus, the tank must lead Quibach to the minions, and wait until he uses his fire blast. If done correctly, the nearby minion will no longer appear coated and glistening. This indicates that they are vulnerable to damage, so DPS players should immediately destroy them. The tank should save their charge ability to rush between minions quickly, leading the Elder behind them.
Focus on the groups of minions over individuals. Too many minions will eventually out-heal any DPS, and you will have reached the point of no return, and will have to reset the encounter. NameLocationRequirementsRewardsBaldokZorian BountylandsComplete the main questlines in the Blighted Isles-LannoxZorian BountylandsComplete the main questlines in the Blighted Isles-HoxZorian BountylandsComplete the main questlines in the Blighted Isles-JacindaZorian BountylandsComplete the main questlines in the Blighted Isles-BaldokBaldok is a powerful foe who dishes out melee attacks with his club.
He often uses his AoE stomp attack which deals damage to all nearby players as well. Baldok is likely the simplest of the 95 Elders, but he does have a few tricks up his sleeve.Baldok will gain charges of Hatred of Baldok throughout the fight. This will increase his damage by 5% per charge. His AoE stomp attack is the main ability to lookout for.
As the fight drags on, it will grow more powerful, and will pose a serious risk to squishy DPS players.At around 60% of his health, Baldok will target the current top threat generator and apply the following debuff. This will reduce their aggro generation by 99% for a total of 20 seconds. Essentially, the tank will lose aggro and Baldok will move on to whoever is next in the threat charts. Having a secondary tank is beneficial for this fight, otherwise it will be the DPS players who take the brunt of the damage for the remainder of the fight.It will be difficult for tanks to regain aggro due to the effect below. Whenever Baldok uses his roar ability, players will gain charges of Grit. This will increase their ability power by a certain percentage.
As the tank's threat generation plummets, everyone else's damage will be spiking up higher and higher. Due to the 20 second aggro penalty, the initial tank will be hard pressed to regain control of the fight.LannoxLannox is obsessed with murder and is surrounded by Brindle Prisoners who he will kill unless you and your team defeat him.Lannox has an inherent ability which causes attackers to take 25% of the damage they deal.
This is not a game-changer, but something for healers to keep in mind.Throughout the fight, Lannox will claim that he has an 'Itch for Murder' and will run to a random Brindle prisoner. Players have an 8 - 10 second window to deal enough damage to Lannox in order to regain his attention. A recommended strategy is to use the Brutal Force trinket which guarantees critical strikes during this moment.
If players do not deal enough damage, Lannox will murder the brindle and grow more powerful.Whenever Lannox murders a Brindle, not only will he regain a small portion of health, but also a charge of Bloodlust. For each charge, his damage is increased by an additional 45%, his damage taken is reduced by an additional 3% and his attack speed is increased by 5%.
There are a total of 5 brindles, so at 5 charges Lannox would have 225% increased damage, 15% damage reduction and 25% increased attack speed.Players should save up their massive damage dealing abilities for the moments where Lannox attempts to murder the Brindles.JacindaJacinda is a deceptive Elder who will spawn clones of herself in order to confuse heroes. There are strategies which can assist with defeating her in a timely manner though.During the beginning phase of her encounter, she is a relatively simple tank and spank. Once her health reaches around 70%, she will begin to spawn copies of herself. It is up to players to find the real Jacinda and pinpoint her. If players deal damage to clones, then Jacinda will regain a portion of that damage as health once her cloning phase ends.There is a way to tell a fake copy of Jacinda from the real one. Fake Jacinda's will take additional damage in comparison to the real one. So, during the earlier phase of the confrontation, note how much damage your auto-attacks and abilities are doing.
Once her clones spawn, smack each one a few times and compare the values. You'll notice the clones take far more damage. Find the copy that takes the amount of damage you measured earlier. This is the real Jacinda.It can be difficult to keep track of all this activity at once. Here is a recommended strategy for the fight:Healers should remain standing in the center for the entire duration of the fight. There should be a designated ranged player next to each of Jacinda's possible spawn-points. They must remain locked in their positions for the entire duration of the fight.
All other ranged characters should remain huddled in the center of the field alongside of the priests, so as not to get in the way. Melee classes should move to the real Jacinda once she has been outed.Once Jacinda spawns copies of herself, each of the designated spawn-point players should target their copy and check whether it is a clone or the real deal.
All other players should avoid dealing damage to potential clones. Once a designated checker has confirmed they have found the real Jacinda, they should do an emote such as Point.
The other ranged players should then focus on that version of Jacinda.Note: The other designated checkers should shift to the real Jacinda once it's been found, but they should NOT move positions. It's imperative for them to remain in their specific area so as to avoid confusion and needless running. This is why each of the checkers should be a ranged class, so they can attack the true Jacinda from their position without having to move.Repeat this process until Jacinda's final mass-cloning phase, when she repeatedly clones herself every few seconds. Now it's time to switch up the strategy.At this point, every single player (aside from the primary healers, who should remain where they are) should divide themselves up and relocate or focus on a specific clone of Jacinda. Try to spread out evenly if possible for the best results.
All players, melee included, should remain locked onto their spawn-point and simply auto-attack the copies whenever they show up. If it's the real Jacinda, use your abilities on her. There is no point in communicating this to your allies, as they won't have time to change targets before she re-clones herself.Remain focused on your clone and simply auto-attack it. If it's fake, disengage and wait for the next phase of clones. If it's the real her, use your abilities and punch as hard as you can for your limited window of time.
Don't change targets during this final phase or things will get messy. Try not to move around either.HoxHox has 3 powerful minions alongside him who each provide him with access to a dangerous screech attack as well as other buffs. Let's go over each minion first:Trox will empower Hox with Blood Mastery:Sorok will empower Hox with Shocking:Nilax will empower Hox with Siphon Power:So, what do these abilities do?Hox will use an AoE Screech every 15 seconds which will effect all nearby players. He has an inherent Screech ( Colored Yellow) which is his main damage dealing tool. If any of his minions are up, then he gains access to an additional Screech (specific to that minion) and adds it to his rotation.
He'll still use a Screech every 15 seconds, it will just rotate between his regular one and the ones that his minions give him access to. Let's check what their effects are:Trox's Blood Mastery empowerment will increase Hox's health regeneration by 10,000% and provide him access to Mortal Screech (Colored Red). This Screech turns all healing received into damage taken for 8 seconds.
This is deadly, and the main one players will want to look out for.Sorok's Shocking empowerment will provide Hox with 15% damage reduction and will add Shocking Screech (Colored Blue) to Hox's rotation. This will stun all nearby players for 6 seconds.Nilax's Siphon empowerment will increase Hox's damage by 20% and allow him access to Draining Screech (Colored Purple).
This removes 40% of all mana from nearby players.Note that the effects of the screech are only active when Hox uses the corresponding screech!The following are some strategies to assist with the fight.Hox's minions go down fairly quickly, unfortunately, they don't stay down for long. Players can only down minions temporarily as they have an innate ability which allows them to regenerate health.When a minion is down though, they can no longer empower Hox! This means that downing a minion will remove the benefits they provide to Hox, including their screech. The goal should be to defeat the minions and focus on defeating them again once they recover and rejoin the fight.Once Hox's health reaches 90%, his minions will begin to regenerate 10% of their health every few seconds.
This trend continues and scales as the fight progresses. Once the minions have regained their health, they will rejoin the fight and empower Hox once more. DPS players should immediately focus on defeating a minion as soon as it recovers. Keep Hox near the minions so the AoE attacks will splash between all 4 opponents.Often, the minions will return in a staggered approach, as they are not likely to be defeated at the same exact time. DPS should be mindful of this. Try to even out their respawn times as best as you can to prevent too much target swapping.Now, how to counteract the screeches?
During the beginning of the encounter, when all minions are up, Hox will often begin by using his Shocking Screech will stuns all nearby players. Priests should try to shield everyone before the fight to account for this vulnerability window. There is nothing much that can be done to counteract his Shocking Screech and Siphon Screech. One will stun players and the other will drain their mana. Simply defeating the linked minions (Nilax and Sorok) will suffice. Mortal Screech on the other hand is the main one to look out for.Whenever Trox the minion is alive healers and all players should avoid using ANY healing over time effects.Even when the 8 second duration of Mortal Screech isn't active?Yes!
Here is why:Say that I use mass heal (which lasts for 8 seconds), while Trox the minion is up. Hox has not used Mortal Screech yet, so my healing is not turned into damage, so it's all good right? Well, what if Hox uses Mortal Screech 4 seconds into the duration of my mass heal. That means that the remaining 4 seconds (4 or so 'ticks' of healing) will be turned into damage!
This is why it is best to do the following:. If Trox is up and Mortal Screech isn't active: Use instant heals and shields only. If Trox is up and Mortal Screech IS active: Use shields only.
If Trox is not up It's fair game, use instant heals, shields and healing over timeFollow the protocol above to ensure the survival of your team.How can I tell if Mortal Screech is active? You need to be keeping a lookout for Hox if he uses a large red AoE ability.
Once again, he'll only do this IF Trox is up as well. Players should shout out 'Blood!' Or some other key to alert all healers that they shouldn't heal for the following 8ish seconds.
Let them know when it's safe to continue. Healers, save your shielding for these windows!One Hox Reaches 20% health:Once Hox reaches 20% health, no minions will die! They become immune to damage, so just focus on him. Healers use shielding and instant heals when mortal screech is not active.
Don't use any HoT. A suggestion and a few corrections:You might want to mention Lady's Fate's ability to heal himself.Generally speaking, elders level 55 and higher require your combat level to be within 5 levels of the elder in order to get kill credit.
