Start by killing Anima Golems to empower Massive Anima Golems, aiming to kill as many Golems as fast as possible (except a few that are kept alive) to prevent The Dark Animus from gaining too much Anima from Siphon Anima.

Healers need to manage position swaps through dispelling Matter Swap and keep overall raid healing high in answer to permanent DoTs.

Avoid Slams and Fonts, help your tank with Rings, and avoid being interrupted by Jolts.

Anima Golems

The room is filled with inactive Anima Golems of various sizes.

They cannot act or use abilities without Anima. Anima capacity depends on the golem; the bigger ones can hold more.

Defeating an Anima Golem causes the Anima it had to transfer to the closest golem with enough room.

Explosive Slam

Massive Anima Golem

Massive Golems slam the ground, dealing massive Fire damage to the tank and all players within 9 yards.

Also increases damage taken by further Slams for 25 seconds.

Tanks can either immune stacks off or rely on one of the other tanks to help them drop stacks.

Matter Swap

Massive Anima Golem

Debuff linking a player and their furthest ally, try to bait by standing far away to avoid swapping tanks.

This should be dispelled at 5 stacks so that each player takes 50% of their maximum health, as it increases from 0 to 100% over 10 seconds.

When this is removed, they will swap places.

Acceleration Link

When two Small Anima Golems are close, they link together and gain 250% increased attack speed and damage done.

They also gain 30% movement speed and are immune to slows.

Everyone but the tanks should only take one add max to prevent this.

Anima Ring

Tank Mechanic

At 25 anima, Dark Animus summons rings of anima orbs around the tank.

If the tank takes one of the orbs, they will take 200% increased melee damage for 15 seconds.

A player with an immunity (Like Cloak of Shadows or Anti-Magic Shell), or a melee player, should take one of the orbs so the tank can escape the circle.
