Razor Plumes
Everyone Spawn Mechanic

Important Notes:
  • After each Shriek cast, Garuda will summon multiple Razor Plume adds.
  • During the first phase of the fight, these adds will do damage to the rocks in the arena, potentially destroying them before you can use them to hide.
  • These adds should be destroyed as soon as possible.

Phase 2 Alerts

  • The arena shrinks and contains a purple AoE around the edge that causes damage - avoid standing in this at all costs.
  • Players can no longer hide from Shriek - if the boss teleports to the center, run behind her.
  • If she teleports to an edge, run to the opposite side of the arena to reduce damage.
