||
+ | |||
+ | The exact rules governing this foot-driving are poorly understood at this point. Some theories that have been proposed include: |

||
+ | |||
+ | What is well-understood is that if he is not maneuvered correctly he will reach the lava at the edge of the platform and Drink Magma, causing massive damage to the raid. Also, you want to drive him over ''active'' volcanoes to ablate his Obsidian Armor. Another desirable result of volcano-stomping is that it ends that volcano's fire damage plaguing the raid. |
||
+ | |||
+ | While the foot team is managing Rhyolith's position the rest of the raid is dealing with the Fragments and Sparks that spawn periodically throughout the fight. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Fragments spawn in a swarm and should be destroyed before their explosions (30 second timer) damage the raid. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Sparks spawn one at a time and have a pulsing aura that damages nearby players. As long as they are alive they are stacking Infernal Rage which increases the damage they deal to the tank and other nearby players. |
||
+ | |||

Strategy
Phase one: drive his feet
The goal of phase one is to ablate his obsidian armor and damage him enough to start phase two. Causing the boss to step on active volcanoes is critical to this process. However, most of the raid will be concentrating on staying alive by destroying adds and avoiding lava and other environmental damage.
Tanks are not on the boss during phase one. They are managing adds.
When the battle starts a UI element appears which illustrates how players are affecting Rhyolith's navigation. Causing damage to one of Rhyolith's feet causes him to turn toward that foot. A yellow bar, if present, indicates which direction he is turning. Typically only a few players are assigned foot duty.
The exact rules governing this foot-driving are poorly understood at this point. Some theories that have been proposed include:
- only affected by melee damage
- feet build up a resistance to damage and require periodic pauses to clear the resistance and re-enable control.
What is well-understood is that if he is not maneuvered correctly he will reach the lava at the edge of the platform and Drink Magma, causing massive damage to the raid. Also, you want to drive him over active volcanoes to ablate his Obsidian Armor. Another desirable result of volcano-stomping is that it ends that volcano's fire damage plaguing the raid.
While the foot team is managing Rhyolith's position the rest of the raid is dealing with the Fragments and Sparks that spawn periodically throughout the fight.
Fragments spawn in a swarm and should be destroyed before their explosions (30 second timer) damage the raid.
Sparks spawn one at a time and have a pulsing aura that damages nearby players. As long as they are alive they are stacking Infernal Rage which increases the damage they deal to the tank and other nearby players.
Phase two: burn
Once the boss has been kited through enough volcanoes he becomes tankable and it becomes practical to attack him directly.
