One of the key parts of the Ghost King boss fight is the Soul Eating attack Dark And Darker Gold. Periodically, the Ghost King targets a player and begins to chase them. Players can spot this attack occurring via the blue shield that appears on the Ghost King. We recommend that the targeted player focuses on kiting the boss, while the rest DPS it. Should the Ghost King catch you, it roots you in place and drains your health, usually killing you. As a result, it is in your best interest to not underestimate this attack and communicate with your party to ensure that the targeted player gets the necessary support.
Earthquake Mechanic
The other key part of the Ghost King boss fight is the Earthquake mechanic. As soon as the Ghost King teleports to the center of the room, this is a sign that an Earthquake is coming. Your party must be prepared, otherwise a party wipe will occur. The Ghost King rises high up into the air for a few seconds, then smashes down onto the ground, dealing huge team wiping amounts of damage. To avoid this mechanic, players must time a jump with the smash down to prevent damage being dealt. The best way to watch out for this mechanic is to keep an eye on the beginnings of blue sparks appearing on the Ghost King's head.
Death Skulls and Holy Purification
After the Earthquake attack, 3 Death Skulls spawn at the end of the attack, so be aware of that. The Cleric in your party can clear these with Holy Purification. Make sure to communicate with your party and prioritize healing and support for players who have taken damage from the Earthquake attack.
Loot Drops
Congratulations! You and your party have defeated the Ghost King, and the spoils of the dungeon are yours. The Ghost King drops 3 items from the standard drop table and 1 item from the miscellaneous table cheap Darker Gold. However, as expected, the loot quality will improve in the Higher Roller version of the fight.
