Boss 1: Rotar (Shape & Lantern Matching)

Rotar tests your group’s communication and movement speed. The fight centers on shape-matching mechanics and lantern destruction.

Match Floor Shapes: Shapes will appear at your character’s feet. Quickly move to the corresponding glowing shape on the floor near the boss to avoid heavy ticking damage.

Destroy Specific Lanterns: After matching shapes, you’ll get a secondary shape prompt. Find the lantern that matches this design and destroy it immediately.

Prioritize Purple Lanterns: Purple lanterns spawn secondarily and must be destroyed as soon as they appear. Leaving them alive can wipe your party.

Ignore Links: Occasionally, two party members will become tethered by a line. These can be ignored; your focus should remain on shapes and lanterns.

Trash Mobs: The Garden Pass

The path to the second boss is filled with trash mobs, and positioning is key.

Avoid Circles: Red and purple telegraph circles are common during this section. Keep moving to stay safe while clearing mobs. Standing still can quickly lead to wipes.

Boss 2: Robstino (Flower Management)

Robstino introduces a mix of arena management and timing, where missed flowers can be deadly.

Pop the Flowers: Flower patches appear across the room. Step directly on them to safely clear them before the boss casts area skills.

Watch Boss Circles: Robstino’s large circle attacks will detonate any remaining flowers. Clearing them quickly prevents overlapping damage that can wipe the party.

Eye Target: Some attacks will target players with an “Eye” icon. Heavy mitigation or focused healing is necessary to keep these targets alive.

Boss 3: Kromede's Desolation (Mirrors & Stagger Sprint)

The final boss combines strict interaction mechanics with a tight DPS race, making this encounter the most punishing.

Mirror Reflection Quick-Time Events: Spinning mirrors spawn around the arena with numbers floating above them.

Stay Outside First: Do not enter the mirror’s circle while it spins. Being inside disables all skills, including healing and defensives, resulting in massive raid damage.

Match the Image Skill: When the mirror stops spinning, identify the reflection image. Step inside and immediately use the specific puzzle skill corresponding to that image. On higher difficulties, up to three players must enter and activate the skill simultaneously.

The 20-Second Stagger Race: Kromede eventually retreats to the end of a long path. Players have exactly 20 seconds to chase her and break her stagger bar.

Save Stagger Skills: Hold your highest-impact stagger and crowd control skills for this final phase. Failing to stagger within the 20 seconds results in an instant wipe. Don’t waste time trying to dodge hearts along the path—iframe abilities don’t bypass them cleanly.

ClearingMirror of Scarlet Desire requires coordination, practice, and awareness of every mechanic. Focus on communication and timing, and you’ll maximize your chance to secure the dungeon’s rewards and craft the latest Arcana sets.
