Urvan Veleth – Spindleclutch II Boss

Overview

Urvan Veleth is encountered in Spindleclutch II alongside four specter/ghost-type archers.

The tank should taunt Urvan Veleth while also controlling the adds so the group can kill them. Focus the adds quickly as they deal a lot of damage and drop Dragonknight Standards.

Mechanics

Heavy Attack and Block – Urvan Veleth occasionally performs a heavy attack in the form of a backhanded shield slam. This will knock you down, so whoever has aggro should block it.

Urvan Veleth will also block. Do not heavy attack during this phase with melee weapons or you will bounce off his shield, go Off Balance, and take a heavy hit.

Blood Puddle – Urvan Veleth sinks into the ground as a blood circle/puddle and chases whoever has aggro. The faster you run, the faster he moves, so do not run. Contact with the puddle deals damage, and the damage dealt will heal the boss.

Block and move slowly in a small circle so his speed matches yours and the damage is mitigated or avoided. A tank can instead stand still and hold block. Mitigating the damage also reduces how much Urvan Veleth heals.

When Urvan Veleth comes back out of the ground, he will immediately perform a heavy attack. Stay blocking.

Tips & Strategy

• Tank: Taunt Urvan Veleth, control the four adds, and block his heavy attacks. During Blood Puddle, move slowly while blocking or stand still and hold block.
• DPS: Focus the four adds quickly. Do not melee heavy attack Urvan Veleth while he is blocking.
• Everyone: Do not run from Blood Puddle. Block and move slowly if targeted, then remain blocking when Urvan Veleth comes back out of the ground.
