Flame Leviathan Hardmode easier

[Nexar]

Ok here is the thing.

If you engage the boss on hardmode while having the whole raid standing outside the big doors you dont have to deal with the extra stuff he does inside the room.(Becouse you wont be there:P)
So:
1. have the raid stand outside the gates.
2. Someone engages the boss and also run out
3. Profit

Can bug sometimes tho=/
(Dont have any pics becouse i was only talking to my friends on vent while they were doing it)

i don't understand what your getting at with this

[epx]

the boss comes after the adds so im not sure either what you are talkin about.

[bluez31]

He's basically saying the raid stays back outside the event area, and one person runs in to engage, and gets back out before the wall becomes active.

Guessing they wiped once, so FL sits out in the open & his adds are gone.

This would also make kiting extremely easy as you could go up and down the trash area. Maybe it's not a problem for most people, but our raiders go cross eyed when it comes to kiting.

Sigh...I bet half the people who commented haven't even been to Ulduar.

With all the trash cleared, when you pull FL theres a 10 second or so window before the gate closes and locks people out (and locks them into the zone where all the effects from hard mode take place). If hes not in the zone its like fighting him normally because you don't have to deal with the stuff for hard mode.

ANYWAY, +rep

I has! Last night we gave 4 towers a try. Wish I had seen this then -_-

Anyone able to confirm that this actually works? I was under the impression that he despawns once leaving that area. We haven't actually tried it though.

[Bossqwerty]

He resets as soon as he gets ~5 feet outside his wall, this does not work.

[Ssateneth]

I don't thinka the OP or the other posts besides this and the one before me have even TRIED FL... Boss resets once it goes past the yellow light walls.

[anima7223]

AS the 2 posts above me suggest, FL will reset upon leaving the area where the orbital defense attacks happen, the OP has never tried this himself, otherwise he would know this.

[Ssateneth]

EDIT! EDIT! EDIT!

I'm going to eat my own words, but when FL pulled after killing the trash, everyone was out of the yellow light gates and he DID pursue people throughout the 'trash hallway'. We could kite him throughout that area. So chances are this is DOES make hardmode 'easy' if it glitches and does not reset.

Anothr edit: This was with patch 3.1.1

[elliotthehobo]

I had this happen once, we were able to kite him all the way to the instance portal, but that was before 3.1.1 so I dont know if they have fixed it or not.

[ronzaa]

After you engage the boss you only have a short time before the doors close up and your stuck in the room with him..

If you manage to pull him out of there he despawns..

from my experience with this boss theres no way to get this to work, I have only tried this after 3.1.1

this also happend to us, when someone was afk in a demolisher and got targeted
