Cornelius Boss Guide

On the 3rd Floor of Syleus's Abyss is level 50 Field Boss, Cornelius, located in the center of the Hall of Immortality. If it's nighttime, the doors of this dungeon are closed so make sure to enter on time. You can use a Guild Summon Stone to teleport your guildmates inside while the doors are closed.

Location

There are multiple ways you can get to Cornelius, but the easiest is entering the open-world Dungeon through the First Floor and running straight through until you see the first big crack in the ground. Drop down into the crack and fly towards your right which takes you directly into the Hall of Immortality.

Mechanics

When fighting Cornelius, make sure you remain aware of any AoEs cast at your feet or nearby players to avoid massive damage or being killed. The following mechanics must be understood to successfully fight Cornelius:

Fury Attack

• Cornelius' Fury Attack is a large AoE that damages players within the arena. Pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator as it's pretty slow and easy to block.

General Patterns

• Cornelius lowers its left hand to the ground and launches a Ghostly Claw to attack and Pull players toward it. You can run out of the AoE before it Pulls you.
• When Cornelius says, "Kneel before your king!" it shoots out Five Projectiles from its body in multiple directions, following the lines engraved on the floor of the arena. Avoid these lines to avoid the attack.
• The Blue and Red mechanic is Cornelius' signature move:
  • Blue: Cornelius selects players at random and spawns a Blue Mark over their heads. Players with the Blue Mark must distance themselves from allies to avoid killing them. After three seconds the Marker spawns five Blue AoE Explosions that follow the target and damage surrounding players.
  • Red: Cornelius also selects players at random and spawns a Red Mark over their heads, separate from the Blue mechanic. Similarly to the Blue mechanic, the mark spawns a single large Red AoE Explosion that damages surrounding players. Distance yourselves from your allies to avoid killing or damaging them.

Tips

• When Cornelius spawns, it encloses the entire arena in a Blue Forcefield that prevents players on the floor from entering or leaving. To enter, players must go to the top of the surrounding coliseum and fly over the Blue Forcefield to get into the fight. Alternatively, you can stay inside the arena before Cornelius spawns to avoid getting locked out.
