Mechanics
Mechanic #1: Darkan transforms at 90% and reappears with wings. Before that his attacks are simple swipes.

Mechanic #2: Fire Slam: Darkan will rise into the air (He will twirl as he rises), your party must get at least 20m away from Darkan as it will proceed to slam the ground, causing fatal damage up to 20m. You will be notified with the message: "All they are is dust."

Mechanic #3: Fire Circles: Darkan will rise into the air (He will fly straight up with no twirl), your party must run to the edges as Darkan will place DOT circles on each player. You should attempt to avoid being hit by escaping just before the circles take root to avoid damage.

Mechanic #4: Fire Charge: Darkan will spin and charge towards a player, causing damage. You will not be pushed.

Mechanic #5: Fire Swipe: Darkan will proceed a 360 clockwise swipe, dealing damage. Applies fire bleeding effect. He usually does this after slamming his sword on the ground and swiping left/right 2 times

Mechanic #6: Rings of Fire: Darkan will rise into the air and create a circle cage. You must enter, anyone out of this cage will die. The cage will split into 3 sections, inner, mid and outer. One section will randomly become a danger zone (noticeable by red indicator, avoid this zone. This occurs 3 times before Darkan slams the ground, breaking the cage. (like the annihilation ring at Fulminar in BR)

Mechanic #7: Minion: Darkan will disappear and the room will turn red. A minion will spawn, you must kill this quickly. If you do not, the party will take fatal damage and die. It deals fixed amount of damage per hit. Minion starts with no aggro and permanently attacks however attacks it first. It is advised to let the healer take aggro.

Mechanic #8: Sword Throw: The boss will throw his swords and scrape the ground in a direction, dealing frontal damage. If you stand on the burning ground, you'll receive damage, however they will disappear within a second.

Mechanic #9: Fire Wing: This mechanic is important to master!

Darkan will slam the ground with his swords often. If Darkan sword slams the ground 4 consecutive times, he will proceed the Fire Wing.

This mechanic will push you the edge of the map and applies fire bleeding effect. To avoid getting hit you must pay attention to his sword slams (a sword slam is when he uses his regular attack, hitting the ground with one of his swords).

The 4th/final slam determines the direction of the Fire Wing. Darkan can fire left or right and the direction is determined by which sword (left or right) is used for the 4th slam. The sword used will appear more fiery and will be against the ground, with the other sword will be in the air. Darkan also will stay in this position for a second before proceeding the actual Fire Wing.

If the left sword is fiery and against the ground (and the right sword in the air), then he will use his right wing and proceed the attack in the right direction.

If the right sword is fiery and against the ground (and the left sword in the air), then he will use his left wing and proceed the attack in the left direction.

He will also do Fire Wing without doing 4 consecutive slams, however this is noted with a text bubble: "Dodge this!" (from himself). You must be prepared and watch out for the slam after he says "Dodge this" to know which side he'll be aiming. ("Dodge this" is a placeholder name)

Mechanic #10: Sword Strike: The boss will slam the ground and then strike with enormous power, dealing a frontal attack. This is noticeable by the bosses sword slams. If the sword slam has the fiery visual effect and is not the 4th consecutive slam (and isn't noted by "Dodge this", then he will proceed Sword Strike.

In hard mode and in Extreme mode, ship deck is surrounded by wall of fire. Anyone who gets pushed in fire instantly dies (a dies again if they try to resurrect). In the Extreme mode wall of fire grows as the fight proceeds.



Revived Darkan
Fight in Velik's Sanctuary is similar. However, it has additional mechanic.

The arena is ringed by mana generators. These create and a constant damage effect, which deals damage to anyone in the area. You can destroy these generators with some difficulty. Destroying a generator creates a gap in the damage ring.

Periodically Darkan blasts everywhere except the damage ring with an AoE that insta-kills anyone on the area. This is announced with “I'll burn you to ashes!”

When Darkan’s HP falls below 50%, the Lesser Generators will be replaced by Greater Generators with more HP and Ring of Fire will reset. During the “Annihilation” the targeted person (or everyone when Darkan’s HP is below 50%) will have an AoE indicator under them. They must place the AoE so that it also hits the Generator to break it.
