March on Quel’Danas Overview Midnight Falls Guide & Rewards
Phase 1: Final Tolls
Throughout the fight, players will need to avoid The Darkwell in the center of the boss arena, as touching it for a split-second is instant death.
The main mechanic of this phase is Death's Dirge, a classic memory game-inspired mechanic where players need to hit runes in the appropriate order displayed by the boss.
Throughout all of this, Healers will be looking to heal any Dawn Crystals that spawn. Once healed, players can pick up the Dawn Crystals and hold them for a later part of the fight.
The other main mechanic of Phase 1 is Safeguard Prism. The boss will spawn a rotating bulwark of three Safeguard Matrices. Players will need to remove 6 stacks of Safeguard from each matrix by interrupting or using offensive dispels such as Tranquilizing Shot or Consume Magic.
Intermission: Total Eclipse
In the intermission phase, darkness surrounds the arena, pushing players closer to the center. Watch out for the Darkwell!
During the intermission, L'ura will occasionally shoot Dark Quasar beams at the raid. While dodging beams, several players will be targeted by Starsplinter, which shoots glass spikes outward from the player. Spread out and make sure not to hit your friends with any glass shards!
Stage Two: The Dark Reactor
When the intermission ends, L'ura answers the call of the Darkwell and drags the raid into it. Inside the Darkwell, players are given a very limited amount of space.
On the outside of the arena, Void Cores orbit around the raid. Players will need to Galvanize each void core by aiming their lines at the cores. Galvanized Cores will attempt to suck players out of safety, so try to galvanize cores in a symmetrical pattern. Watch out for Core Harvest afterwards, which causes any Galvanized Void Cores to fly into the raid. Don't get hit!
Stage Three: Midnight Falls
In the last phase, players will need to stay within the light of the Dawn Crystals to protect themselves from the darkness of Midnight.
This last phase features some flashy mechanics, such as The Dark Archangel, which unleashes a deadly explosion on anyone not standing in the safety of the Dawn Crystals!
Throughout this phase, players will also need to dodge Dark Constellation stars. The stars spawn in and connect in a line, damaging any players caught in them.
