History itself stands in the balance as the steel colossus is revealed to have the inconceivable power to transport its occupants through time and space, a power which the Illuminati are all too eager to use to rewrite the past and remake the future in their own twisted image. With time quite literally of the essence, you must find passage to the very heart of the colossus, where the unfortunate Roundrox—the key to Quickthinx's dark plot—is being held captive. Once more unto the breach, Warrior of Light!

Strategy

Video Guide

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Lamebrix Strikebocks

  • There are three buttons in the middle of the map and an electric side section.
  • Don't go into the electric tiles as the Paralysis icon1.png Paralysis cannot be removed unless it times out.
  • The closest button will cause spikes to come up from the floor, immobilizing everyone in them as well as dealing damage.
  • The middle button will cause giant spike balls to fall onto the buttons. These can be avoided by standing in the middle of two buttons or off to the side.
  • The furthest button will shoot spikes along the sides of the platform. Just stand in row with the buttons to avoid them.
  • The boss will jump on buttons after a time to trigger the effect.
  • When the boss jumps to one end of the map, a steamroller will appear and make its way to the boss. Kill it before it reaches the boss. There will be consistent AOE damage at this time. The steamroller will push back to the next button when it advances.
  • Saw blades will appear off to the sides when fighting the boss again. These will deal damage and knock around whoever they hit. Stand in the middle of two button to easily avoid them.
  • One party member will be targeted with a tether and take substantial damage. Have the Off Tank be the only one in line with the boss and the tether player.
  • Single Charge: Does either a circular cleave, or a massive donut AoE. Move away from or towards the boss respectively.
    • Circular cleave is telegraphed by a red arrow marker on the boss, and him saying "Shkoh! Uplander comes close, gets special surprise!"
    • Donut AoE is telegraphed by a green ring marker on the boss, and him saying "Uplanders think they are safe in farplace? Think again!"
  • Prey: Targets a player with Prey icon1.png Prey, visualised with a spiky tether moving apart, then uses a line AoE on them dealing proximity damage. The target should move away from the boss and others should not stand in the way.
