in pyre need, notes on repeatable fight

[mmmcannibalism]

Just some information I picked up during my first attack on the phoenix in the repeatable minigame after "In Pyre Need"

 

 

 

1. The phoenix cannot hit through your protect mage prayers and the reborns in the caves are also unable to hit through the relevant prayer.

 

 

 

2. The stat lowering effect some players noticed also halves your mage level, this effect seems shorter then 10 seconds id estimate maybe 5. The attack that lowers your stats shows up as a puff of smoke in front of the phoenix, this attack can splash but it can reduce your stats through protect mage.

 

 

 

3. Although the reborns cannot be walked through, engaging them in combat and running back can be used to move them to open paths, as opposed to fighting them, though I dont feel like this is a valid timesaver as it requires a good bit of effort.

1. Since most monsters can't hit through prayer, it won't be mentioned. A monster hitting through prayer is an exception, not the rule.

 

 

 

2. This is good information, have heard this from 1-2 people but need to get confirmation from some more people before adding it. The "signal" for it is also helpful, thanks very much for posting this!!

 

 

 

3. This was suggested to me but I omitted it for the reason you mention. Also I'm not sure if a ranger or mage would move to engage with a player anyway - they move quite a bit as part of their normal algorithm, it seems.

 

 

 

If we don't get number 2 added to the quest in a few days or a week, please bump this topic to remind us. Super post!

thanks for the response Ill check for updates to info. I kind of figured that 1. and 3. werent that important but since its a boss monster I figured might as well mention the non pray penetration
