Kakul-Saydon Gate 1 Legion Raid Guide

Last Updated:August 4, 2024

While Kakul-Saydon is the name of this Legion Raid, Gate 1 focuses primarily on a fight with Saydon. Kakul appears in the fight, but as a sidekick. Some patterns Kakul-Saydon uses here, he also uses in Gate 3. Like Vykas, you have something called Madness Meter. It doesn't have too much of an importance until Gate 3. Complete the required mechanics and Gate 1 should be simple. Easy peasy.

Raid Mechanics

Raid mechanics cover the passive mechanics that are persistent through the entire raid.

Madness Meter

The Madness Meter is a bar shown under each player's character. It fills up when hit by Kakul-Saydon's attacks.

Depending on which percentage your bar is, certain events occur.
0% = Nothing.
50% = Upon hitting 50%, a cross laser will shoot out from you. These can hit teammates and fill up their meter. Any pattern that hits you while you have over 50% meter will cause the cross laser to shoot out.
At 100% = You get turned into the clown's puppet. The boss gains an armor buff, reducing damage taken by 3% per stack. You gain access to 3 skills, Q, W, and E, detailed below.

50% Laser
Puppet Q
Puppet W + E

When you get turned into a puppet, Saydon will receive an armor buff. In Gate 1, Q removes the armor buff. In Gate 3, it no longer removes the armor buff. During Gate 3 when you want to intentionally turn into a puppet, you use it on the flame tower summon.

W

  • Reduces Madness Meter for party members within the area around the user.
  • Party members not within the area have their Madness Meter slightly increased.

E

  • Throws a gift box on the ground. Whoever takes it has their Madness Meter reduced.

Description

  1. Each player gets a card assigned to them, either with a white background or striped background.
  2. In the rotating roulette, you will see 8 different slices; 4 suits/symbol with the white background and 4 suits/symbols with the striped background.
  3. The roulette spins 3 times, with the suit/symbol assigned to you changing after each spin.

What To Do

  1. Match your suit/symbol with the correct background to the correct spot on the roulette after each spin. Remember it changes each time.
  2. After the 3rd roulette, get out as the roulette will explode.

While not tied to any HP mechanic, the Dice mechanic does involve resolving the mech as a group. From repeated runs, I've notice this mechanic happens usually within 30 seconds of 9:00, 5:30, and 1:30 left on the enrage timer. If a HP mech occurs during those intervals, you will skip the Dice mech.

Telegraph

  1. Saydon spawns a dice in his hands and throws it in the air.
  2. Saydon will call the suit symbol very audibly.

Description

  1. After the dice lands, a suit/symbol with a certain color is shown above the dice.
  2. If the color of the suit/symbol matches the color of whichever player has the suit/symbol, the 3 other players on your team will be imprisoned and you will be free to move. (i.e. Dice: Black Club, Player: Black Club)
  3. If the color of the suit/symbol is the opposite color of whichever player has the suit/symbol, the player will be imprisoned and your team will be free to move. (i.e. Dice: Red Club, Player: Black Club)
Variant 1 - Matching Color

Description

  1. 4 cards with suits/symbols will spawn from the boss. These cards follow the player that is free to move.
  2. The suit/symbol shown on the dice will match the color of the person with the same suit.
  3. Ex. Dice = Red Diamond, Player = Red Diamond

What To Do

  1. All players must stand a decent distance away from the boss in a horizontal line. I suggest the diamond and heart stand next to each other and the club/spade stand next to each other.
  2. The player that is free to move must lead each card into the player that matches the suit/symbol of the card.
  3. The 1st card will always match the targeted player.
  4. The 2nd card will be the other suit/symbol of the same color.
  5. The 3rd and 4th card will be the opposite suits/symbols.
  6. Ex. The 3rd card will be black club if 1st card is red diamond. The 4th card will be black spade.

  6. The 3rd card will always match the imprisoned player.
