Shaikal Mechanics
Glowing Floors
In the fight against Shaikal, the arena is divided by glowing floors, which also appear throughout the dungeon. These floors deal damage and can stun players who step on them. The only way to remove these glowing barriers is by interacting with devices located at the end of each barrier. These devices temporarily deactivate the barriers, allowing players to reposition safely.
Shaikal’s Attack Patterns
Dark Nova
Shaikal raises its arms, charges, and unleashes a ring of dark energy. This is blockable and is usually the first attack.
Astral Zones
Shaikal creates purple zones beneath two targets. Simply moving out of these zones is enough to avoid damage.
Red Sinkhole
Shaikal turns red and marks a target with a red orb. After a short delay, a large AoE appears on the ground, pulling in targets and dealing damage. The marked player should move away from the party and then reposition once the AoE spawns.
Void Breath
Shaikal marks a target with a purple orb, then releases a wave of purple energy that follows the marked target. To avoid this attack, players need to interact with the devices that remove the barriers and relocate to a safer area.
Recommended Weapon Combos
| Weapon Combo | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Greatsword / Sword and Shield | Tank | Ideal for tanking through dungeon mobs and playing a key role during the Shaikal fight. |
| Longbow / Crossbow | DPS | Provides excellent ranged DPS, effective against Elites and Shaikal. |
| Dagger / Crossbow | DPS | Another great DPS setup, particularly effective for dealing with Elites and Shaikal. |
| Wand / Staff | Support | A strong healer build, providing reliable support to the tank and party with some offensive capabilities. |
Cursed Wasteland Walkthrough
Uphill Climb
The dungeon begins with an uphill path filled with enemy encounters and glowing floors. Avoid the glowing floors as they will damage and stun you. Defeat all enemies as you make your way up.
Blath Arena
At the end of the climb, you will face Blath, the dungeon’s first mini-boss. Defeat Blath to proceed further.
How to Beat Blath: Blath has a pull-in attack followed by summoning glowing floors and AoE explosions. Avoid the glowing floors and get out of the attack radius quickly, as getting stunned almost guarantees death.
Belrog Arena
After Blath, continue to the arena where you will encounter Belrog, the second mini-boss.
How to Beat Belrog: Belrog uses a similar mechanic to Blath, pulling players towards the center and creating glowing floors. In this case, players will be trapped inside. To escape, interact with the dark orbs around the arena to remove the glowing floors, then move away from Belrog to avoid the AoE explosions.
