Keeper Imiril – Banished Cells II Boss

Overview

Keeper Imiril is encountered in Banished Cells II . This boss is the PUG killer of the dungeon and people struggle a lot with this, so pay close attention to what is going on in the room.

Running around in circles will kill you! The tank should hold the boss as still as possible while the group applies their damage and heals. There are three important phases to keep an eye on as well as killing the boss.

Mechanics

Blue Balls and Burst – Every few seconds the boss will jump into a blue orb and disappear. During this phase one of the three add phases will spawn and she will, after a few seconds, come back out again. Every time this happens two new orbs appear in the room which you must avoid. They jump around and they do a lot of damage, so watch your feet. Do not run away as such, just be careful where you stand.

Each time she comes out of the ball/portal she will do a LARGE spreading burst AOE effect that you must either step out of or BLOCK to avoid as much damage as possible.

Phase 1: Banekins – A small spawn of Banekins will come out of the portal/ball as the boss jumps inside of it. These MUST be killed fast and controlled before she comes out again, else you will have to deal with them while she is in the room.

Phase 2: Twilights – A small spawn of Twilightlings (x4) will come out of the portal/ball as the boss jumps inside of it. These MUST be killed fast and controlled before she comes out again, else you will have to deal with them while she is in the room.

Phase 3: Clanfears – A small spawn of three Clanfears will come out of the portal/ball as the boss jumps inside of it. These MUST be killed fast and controlled before she comes out again, else you will have to deal with them while she is in the room. These jump, stun, knockdown, and all sorts, so they MUST be killed fast. Be sure to save your ultimates for this phase.

Note each phase you do not successfully kill will stay with you per phase until they are dead. Deal with them and focus them or else you will be overwhelmed with multiple enemies. After Phase 3, it starts from Phase 1 again.

Tips & Strategy

• Tank: Hold Keeper Imiril as still as possible and help control the enemies that appear during each phase.
• DPS: Deal with each add phase before Keeper Imiril returns. Save your ultimates for the Clanfear phase.
• Healer: Watch the moving blue orbs and be ready for the large burst when Keeper Imiril returns from the portal.
• Everyone: Watch your feet, avoid the blue orbs and either step out of or block the large burst when Keeper Imiril returns. Do not allow enemies from previous phases to build up.
