Delubrum Reginae: Savage
Late Night's Full guide

• Important:
- Alliance is cut in half: only party A, B & C do Slimes
- Never stay mid
- No AoEs (esp. Assizes & Dances)
- Markers at entrance are used for pre-positionning
- No use of offensive lost actions

• Important:
- Alliance is cut in half: only party D, E & F do Golems
- Bicolor golems at entrance are used for pre-positionning
- Bicolor golems use "Metamorphosis" cast to change color (can be interrupted)
- Kill order is: Blue > Green > White > Red
(While tanks, healers and ranged DPS from party F are assigned to specific rooms, golems will be killed in order by all the remaining DPS)
- No use of offensive lost actions

• Golems fight VOD:

• Important:
- Try to always stay close to the boss
- Mechanics listed may overlap together at different points of the fight
- After this fight, 6 traps await. Don't rush!

• Phantom Edge
- Trinity Seeker's swords glow, changing his next attack• Tank Busters
- Red marker on tank, no cast = Regular TB
- Baleful Onslaught = Invuln / Shareable (duo) TB
- Baleful Onslaught with Phantom Edge = Solo TB• Baleful Blade
- Regular = Deadly AoE. Go behind the barriers
- With Phantom Edge = Knock back. Go in front of the barriers• Baleful Firestorm AKA "Ravana Dashes"
- Be mid: 4 clones teleport 1 by 1 at the edges of the arena, doing a circle AoE in the process; then dash forward, much like Ravana / Ifrit dashes• Burning Chains
- Random players get marked with chains above their heads
- If marked: group up, then spread out (distance-based chains)

• Verdant Path
- Stance change. Uses an AoE depending on which stance is adopted
- Red Aura / DRK = Sides AoE (in front or behind safe)
- Blue Aura / SAM = Cross-shaped AoE (intercardinals safe)
- Green Aura / MNK = Share AoE

• All stances clip:

• Fourfold Mercy AKA "Slashes"
- Same as normal mode, but faster
- Casts First → Fourth Mercy then unleashes them all one after another

Calls in this example would be: 2 → 1 → 4 → 3

• Clone's Fourfold Mercy AKA "Clone Slashes"
- Trinity Seeker uses a clone for his Fourfold Mercy. Cleaves will emit from it

Calls in this example would be: B → 2 → A → 1

• Animated version (careful, slashes are actually faster than this!) :

• Seasons of Mercy
- Faster than in normal mode
- Criss-cross ice AoE → Look away (petrify) orb → Criss-cross ice AoE → Growing pink AoE

Calls in this example would be: look away from 2 → go away from 3

• Iron Splitter
- Same as normal mode, but faster
- Trinity Seeker jumps to either Sand or Tiles, and makes all the circles with the same element as the one under his feet explode (so all sand or all tiles circles)

• How do I get picked for duel?
Send a DM to the Raid Leader in charge of the run. They will review your application and you may get picked. The only requirements are: have cleared DRS once and be prepared!

• Required actions:

Recommended: 2x Resistance Potion kits + DPS rays / actions

• Entrapment + Lethal Blow
- Stygimoloch Warrior jumps North and knocks you back all the way South. Additionally, Stygimoloch Warrior places a traps labyrinth all over the arena

5 different patterns

• Inescapable Entrapment + Surging Flames OR Withering Curse → Devour
- Stygimoloch Warrior jumps to the middle and places traps all across the arena except in a small cross shape in the center

4 different patterns | F = Frog ; M = Mini ; I = Ice

Tip: Start by using Perception from the south part of the "Plus" (+)
- If you only reveal Mini: Ice is SW
- If you only reveal Ice: Mini is NW
- If you reveal neither: Ice is NE, Mini is SW

• Traps mechanics
- Surging Flames: Fire AoE → Get hit by Ice trap
- Withering Curse → Devour: Pull then front cone AoE → Get hit by Mini trap
• After the 2nd trap mechanic:
- Surging Flood: Water AoE → Get hit by Frog trap
- Leaping Spark: Lightning AoE → Get hit by Frog trap a 2nd time to turn back human

Careful: After all Entrapments, explosion traps explode when the mechanic resolves!

• Lethal Blow / Focused Slash
- Stygimoloch Warrior cleaves the whole arena in front of him
• Vicious Swipe + Crazed Rampage
- Circular AoE followed by a knock back
• Focused Tremor
- Square AoEs exploding in the order they appeared
• Flailing Strike
- Conic AoE baited by the player then rotating counter clockwise
- Paired with Focused Tremor

• Stygimoloch Warrior clip:

• Dahu fight VOD:

• Important:
- Guards can tether together and buff each other if too close
- ABC focus Knight & Soldier // DEF focus Warrior & Gunner
- Guards need to die at the same time (if one dies, the other uses Enrage cast)
- This fight's mechanics will be re-used on the Queen

• Tank Busters
- Rapid Sever & Shot in the Dark
• Raid wides
- Blood and Bone & Queen's Shot

• Phase 1: Knight & Warrior
• Phase 2: Soldier & Gunner
• Phase 3: Wards

• Queen's Guards fight VOD:

Knight & Warrior
• Fight begins with them tethering together to be resistant to a certain type of damage (magical or physical): depending on that tether, Spellforge OR Steelsting will be needed

• Healers' Spellforge / Steelsting

Spellforge: Apply on all physical players from your party
Steelsting: Apply on all magical players from your party
Hybrid jobs? These jobs use both physical and magical attacks.
They will need the correct buff (will be called by RL) each time
Note: Remember to reapply the buff if a player dies!What if I have the incorrect buff? You can either click off your current Spellforge / Steelsting buff, or make a macro like the one below
PASTEBIN: link

• Boost with Dispel clip:

• Winds of Weight AKA "Wind / Gravity Puddles"
- Debuff go to wind (green), no debuff go to gravity (purple)
Pop sprint & don't go far: You will need to go back middle real fast once that's done!
• Optimal Play (Shield OR Sword)
- Shield: 3 Claws, no Claw side = Safe [IN] (donut AoE)
- Sword: 3 Claws, no Claw side = Safe [OUT] (circle AoE)

⚠️ There is no melee uptime during Winds of Weight

• Queen's Guards Phase 1 clip:

• Great Ball of Fire + Queen's Shot
- Great Ball of Fire: 4 fire orbs will turn into frogs & move around the arena, then explode
- Queen's Shot: Point your open spot towards the Gunner, then towards a turret on the side

• Gun Turret + Sniper Shot
- Gunner summons 2 gun turrets. They will use a tank buster called "Sniper Shot", which has to be taken by a tank & invuln'ed
- Kill those turrets ASAP as they begin casting their Enrage ("Explosion") after this TB
(Gun turrets are enmity based)

The following mechanics may not be seen / are most commonly skipped nowadays:
• Double Gambit AKA "Jumpy clones"
- Same as normal mode: Soldier summons clones who jump around the arena then use a circle AoE if tethered
• Automatic turret
- Same as normal mode: Gunner will summon 4 turrets inside of the arena which will fire a line AoE

• Open Spot with jumpy clones clip:

• Queen's Guards Phase 2 clip:

• Overview:
- 4 guards with wards to kill before Enrage cast is finished• Additionally, 2 waves of spheres will spawn on the arena:
- 12 Spiritual Spheres per wave
Healers positions = link- 2 Aura Spheres per wave
Parties ABC = NORTH Aura Sphere // Parties DEF = SOUTH Aura Sphere
This happens twice!Click on the images below to enlarge them:

• Aura Sphere + Spite Check clip:

• Spiritual Sphere clip:

• Malediction of Agony
- Raid Wide
• Weave & Manipulate Miasma
- Makes symbols appear North & detonates all the lower ones, followed by all the top ones
(Careful: line AoE pulses 3 times!)

Lower symbols detonate in different pulsing AoEs

Top symbols detonate in different pulsing AoEs

• Weave & Invert Miasma
- Makes symbols appear North & detonates all the top ones, followed by all the lower ones

The following mechanics may not be seen / are most commonly skipped nowadays:
• Summon (1st time) & Malediction of Ruin
- Summons 3 waves of 2 different types of adds:
Bloody Wraith: Must be killed
Misty Wraith: Must be healed to full
- Malediction of Ruin: Enrage cast which must be interrupted
• Summon (2nd time & onwards)
- Summons an add North or South. He will push the players from where he's standing
• Vile Wave
- Conic AoE
• Ice Spikes
- Buff hurting + slowing every player attacking. Must be dispelled with "Lost Dispel"
• Excruciation
- Tank buster

• Temperature?
- A “temperature” is a debuff inflicted on you, ranging from -2 to +2. It will apply at the end of the mechanic, and needs to be resolved by being neutral (0) before then

• Brand?
- A "brand" is a timed debuff inflicted on you, ranging from -2 to +2. It applies at the end of the timer. Unlike your temperature, your brand cannot be changed

• Brand & Temperature?
- Brand is always paired with temperature. There are 16 possible combinations: link

Note: Some combinations, such as +1 & +2 (resulting in a total +3), are only present in Sword as it is the only weapon allowing you to get hit twice

• How do I solve Brand, then?
To be neutral, you will need to change your temperature to be the opposite of your brand, hence making your temperature neutralize your brand. Therefore, you need to achieve one of these combinations to nullify your brand and survive:

Brand only appears on the second rotation of each weapon!

If you have dyscalculia, hopefully the below image should help you solve this mechanic:

Text is in white if you have to get hit twice!

• Tank Buster
- Wrath of Bozja: All tanks front as this is a trio shared tank buster• Allegiant Arsenal
- Stance change. Uses an Aoe depending on which stance is adopted
- Staff / BLM = Circle AoE (away safe)
- Bow / BRD = 280° front AoE (behind safe)
- Sword / PLD = 280° behind AoE (front safe)
Trinity Avowed will use all stances once at the beginning of the fight to determine the order of her weapons' rotations• Each weapon has 2 rotations:
- 1st one = Temperature only
- 2nd one = Temperature + Brand
Each weapon rotation ends by a heavy raid wide: "Glory of Bozja"• The weapons' rotations will go as follow for the fight:

E.g.: Staff → Bow → Sword = Sword 1 → Staff 1 → Bow 1 → Sword 2 → Staff 2 → Bow 2

Staff

1st rotation: Quick March
- 4 proximity AoEs on intercardinals: be mid. Each AoE will spawn a meteor with a different temperature (from -2 to +2)
- Quick March debuff: you will walk 2 squares towards a random direction indicated by your debuff. Use it to get to the correct meteor to be neutral at the end of the mechanic

2nd rotation: Unseen Eye (Clones)
- Same as 1st iteration, except instead of Quick March, 6 clones will appear on the edges of the arena and use line AoEs. There will be 1 safe square per meteor

⚠️ There is no neutral spot during staff: therefore, do not raise anyone (they would die)

Bow

1st rotation: Quick March & Flames of Bozja
- Flames will appear either West or East, making the opposite side safe. Use your Quick March to get to the safe side
- Trinity Avowed shoots 4 temperature arrows, leaving 1 neutral field free, and starts a Ladder Game:

- Resolve the Ladder Game to get hit by the correct arrow
- Each arrow's temperature range from -2 to +2 & 1 empty square for neutral temperature
⚠️ Arrows' paths are not visible in Savage!2nd rotation: Clones & Flames + Quick March
- 6 Clones appear & use line AoEs, and flames appear at West or East. Use sprint to get to the safe side after clones' AoEs are done
- Ladder Game n°2, this time with a random Quick March (Forced March = 2 squares)

• How to trace arrows' paths clip:

Sword

1st & 2nd rotations: Clones + Blade of Entropy x2
- Summons 3 clones. Every Trinity Avowed iteration will turn and cleave the arena with each a different temperature. Get hit by the correct sword to be neutral at the end
- There will be 2 cleaves, so you have 2 chances. On sword 2, you may need to be hit twice (for example: if you get a +2 temperature AND brand, resulting in a total +4)
- Careful, however: you don't want to get hit by 2 swords at once!

• How to move safely during Sword clip:

• Important:
- To get to the Stygimoloch Lord, a mini trap is needed
- If the Stygimoloch Lord isn't killed, the Queen is invincible
- The fight difficulty actually comes from its adds phase

• Tank Buster
- Foe Splitter, always followed by a knock back for all players (Stoicism & Arm's length work against it) & Whacks x3 (deadly conic AoEs to avoid)
• Raid Wide
- Thunderous Discharge
• 1111-tonze Swing
- Huge deadly circle AoE around boss
• Rapid bolts
- Persistent solo AoEs on 3 players. Drop them far away from the group then come back
• Crashing Hoof
- Proximity AoE baited on a random player

• Adds:
- Boss becomes untargetable and teleports middle, then spawns 4 mino adds
- 2 safe areas: Inner Circle & Outer Circle
- Purple = unsafe wall of death // Orange = traps possible spawns
- "Alcoves" are the safe indentations (notches) in the purple wall of death

Additional image (top view) for this phase: link

• Where do I go?
- TANKS & MELEE DPS in OUTER CIRCLE
- HEALERS in INNER CIRCLE
- RANGED & CASTER DPS in INNER //OR// OUTER CIRCLE (any is fine, choice is yours)

• Mino kiting clip:

This is purely an example of kiting: mino tanks will never pop their own traps

• Stygimoloch Lord fight VOD:

• Queen’s Will AKA "Easy Chess"
- 3 orbs appear & form lines. 2 lines meet = circle AoE. Find the 2 parallel lines
- 4 guards appear & 2 by 2 of them will walk a number of squares indicated above their heads, then use a cross-shaped AoE

• Queen's Edict + Gunnhildr's Blade AKA "Super Chess"
- 4 Guards appear & 2 by 2 will walk a number of squares indicated above their heads, then use a rectangle-shaped AoE
- Queen teleports mid and becomes untargetable
- She will give you 2 Forced Steps debuffs: 1st one = shortest // 2nd one = longest

- These debuffs will resolve SEPARATELY as they both have different timers
- This mechanic ends with the Queen cleaving all the arena with a deadly AoE except 1 safe blue square, located either North or South

- This mechanic has several ways of being resolved. You are free to find your own or prefer one over another, but here’s 3 of them:

• 1: Reverse Path
• 2: Valith
• 3: Wall Strat

• Mini-games to practice: link 1 & link 2

• Sovereignty clip:

• Relentless Plays n°1 to n°4
- The Queen summons 2 of her Guards' and combines her forces with theirs:

1. Warrior + Gunner
- Parallel lines → (Debuff →) Wind / Gravity puddles → Open spot to Gunner → to turret

• Relentless n°1 clip:

2. Knight + Soldier
- Knock back from center with Queen slash (3 different patterns)

- Tethered clones' AoEs with Queen slash (3 different patterns)

• Relentless n°2 clip:

3. Knight + Gunner
- Knight position Bait → Shield / Sword claws' AoE → Turrets' lines AoE → Lightning orbs

4. Warrior + Soldier
- Knock back from blue line (2 squares) → (Debuff →) Freeze / Pyretic → Bombs

• Relentless n°4 clip:

• The Queen fight VOD:

1. LATE NIGHT’S “Reverse path” METHOD:
This is the method our Raid Leaders will call

2. VALITH METHOD:

3. WALL STRAT METHOD:
This is the most commonly used method accross DRS discords, but it won't be called by Late Night who uses the 'Reverse Path' one
