High Kinlord Rilis – Banished Cells II Boss

Overview

High Kinlord Rilis is the final boss of Banished Cells II and can be a NIGHTMARE, especially if aiming for Hard Mode. Rilis is no longer melee, he is ranged, which means taunting him and keeping him in one place, especially since he teleports too, makes this pretty difficult.

There are many complex mechanics that need to be executed and understood in order to complete this challenge.

Mechanics

Feasts / Daedroths (Jeffs) – Every 45 seconds one Daedroth and two Feasts will spawn from the boss's starting point. The Feasts MUST be killed fast. If they reach the boss they will heal him a STUPID amount!

The Daedroths fire projectile flames that knock back members of the group and then place a flame AOE on the ground. If this hits you, break free fast. Failing that, you can block or dodge roll it if you see it coming. The tank needs to hold the Daedroths at all times. They also have flame breaths and a stomp ability which can and SHOULD be interrupted.

Bubbles! – There are two runes on the ground, one side of the room is red and the other side is blue. When Rilis puts you in a levitation bubble, pay attention to the color of it. When you land you are cursed and will take LOTS of damage, as well as being snared. You need to get to the matching colored rune as fast as possible to remove the curse.

Flames – When the boss raises his staff he will select members of the group to cast flame ground-based AOEs at. If you stand still these will kill you, so be sure to move around in a circle to place these on the ground until he has finished if you are the target.

Lightning Attack – If you have aggro on the boss, you will receive multiple light attacks from his shock staff, and this happens every couple of seconds. To a DPS this will kill you in about 3 hits. The tank MUST taunt the boss so this hits them instead.

Teleport – Roughly every 30 seconds Rilis will teleport to a new location, so time your ultimates. Don't have him stand in one place for 20 seconds or so and THEN decide to drop them. Wait until he moves and use them when he is in his NEW location to make the most of them.

Tips & Strategy

• Tank: Keep Rilis taunted and pick up the Daedroths as they spawn. Be ready for Rilis to teleport and reposition as needed.
• DPS: Kill the Feasts before they reach Rilis. Time your ultimates around his teleports so you do not waste them when he moves.
• Healer: Keep an eye on anyone coming out of a Bubble and on the tank as more Daedroths enter the fight.
• Everyone: Pay attention to the color of your Bubble and get to the matching rune after landing to remove the curse.
