    • As the boss fight begins, you'll need to solve a puzzle by aligning the planets in order to fight the boss. You will also have to fight plenty of smaller enemies during this time.

    • This is the final boss of the Root of Nightmares raid. This is a fairly straightforward boss fight where you'll have to work in teams in order to take the boss down.
