There are four boss encounters in The Foul Cascade, all of which provide a challenge to individual groups.
'Matron Verosa, Lesch and Gruze
This fight has a total of 5 very fast phases.
Start this fight by marking your targets;
Surin Skenobar
This fight, for the most part is a tank and spank. The group should stay close to the boss, as he will randomly charge a person in the group and do a few hundred damage to them.
Krasimir Barionov
This fight has five fast phases.
The first four phases are simple mob encounter that increase in difficulty with each phase. All of these should be grabbed by the tank and immediately killed.
Phase 1: 8 Non Elite Mobs Phase 2: 4 Elite Mobs Phase 3: 3 Elite Mobs Phase 4: 2 Elite Mobs
Phase 5: Surin Skenobar will release himself from his immunity state as his minions he has summoned to kill you have failed. Once he spawns, the tank should get agro on the boss and pull him to the altar. Every so often Surin will cast an AOE knock back which will send all players within a small radius will be thrown back. If the tank has his back facing the altar he will not be thrown back. Other than the throw back this is an easy tank and spank fight.
Queen Vallnara,
This fight requires a lot of attention, two classes that can heal, a main tank, and two heavy DPS. We did this boss with; Tank DPS Warrior Bard Chloromancer Cleric
When the tank engages Queen Vallnara, they should be aware of an area effect spell (blue/purple clouds) on the ground and get themselves as well as the boss out of it quickly as it will deal additional damage.
While engaged with this boss, he semi-randomly^^^ will charge a player, hit them for a large sum of damage and leave the player with a DoT on them. The player that receives this DoT needs to be healed immediately. When the DoT expires, a spider will spawn next to the player that was charged which the 2 remaining DPS classes need to kill quickly. Keep your entire party alive, and bring this boss' HP down to zero.
^^^ In the times we have engaged and killed this boss, it seems the person who takes the charge is the SECOND person to enter his agro table. IE, if the tank pulls and then the healer heals the tank, the healer will be the second person to enter his agro table. This is preferred if the healer has a heal that heals their target AND themselves.
