DRAGON NEST: SUMMON PUPPET OF SCREAMER

Volcano Challenge Nest (VCN) is a 6-man nest in Dragon Nest at level 80 cap. The guide and video are provided by Sieg from Freedom guild. Refer to the Volcano Nest guide for the basic mechanics and boss attack pattern. New attacks and mechanics for each stage in Volcano Challenge Nest will be highlighted here.

Stage 1

- Addition of a Tornado attack by Lizard, similar to DDN’s Death Knight, BDN’s Punisher. This can get REALLY IRRITATING if the Lizard happens to be invulnerable after 2X. When the Lizard went Berserk, we burst it down quite fast so I didn’t get to see the horror stories that some people said about it.

- Spider gets a new irritating attack as well – Explosion. It will stop moving and suddenly cause an explosion that has a pretty large radius. Be very careful of this attack, it hurts a lot.

- One of them will be invulnerable after you down the Spider at 2X, which one it is being random. Personally I would rather have the Spider invulnerable, the Lizard’s Tornado will make you tear your hair off when it keeps interrupting your DPS windows (which is even shorter now due to Spider’s Explosion)

Stage 2

- You can probably observe the additional fireballs for every swing attack. One key point is to never stay in front of the boss. I have found moving side -> back of the boss for continuous swings to be very safe

- Additional attack of Fire Lines, similar to the X shape attack in BDN Punisher but with more lines and at a faster frequency. First demonstrated in the video at 0:57, that burst of fire around the boss is the prelude to this attack. Method of dodging is in the video, no need for tumble actually.

- For the Lava Golems, I would advise people to divide it in this manner, for some reason people get lost quite often. Imagine where the Portal to Stage 3 will be in Volcano Nest as the middle, then cut it into left and right. The Lava Golems will be exactly mirrored on each side from this pov, how people want to assign is up to them. (If your class can push more than 1 Golem, please help out. Some people really suck at this…)

- New attack where he leaps at you and keeps swinging. You basically just tumble to evade this… It is more of something you have to keep in mind might happen when he is at the edge of the map, than any really special mechanic. Demonstrated at 1:53. In Abyss mode this move has killed people instantly. If the Swing gets you into the Lava, it is 150k per burn tick.

(Also just saying, my habit of spamming Chakra of Energy at times is like a reflex from playing Light Fury, for the additional movement speed boost. When I am tired I tend to play on autopilot mode i.e. not really think about what I am doing but just reacting based on what is on the screen and doing what I am used to)
