Operation Guide: Gods from the Machine

1 TYTH, God of Rage

The first of the gods is TYTH, the God of Rage. As there do not seem to be any therapists on Iokath, he has developed severe anger management issues and may throw a temper tantrum any time.

1.1 Story Mode

The fight is pretty much a tank and spank on Story Mode.

Summary

The tank positions TYTH at the edge of a platform so that his attacks do not cleave the group or the adds. The group focusses on TYTH; apart from Grace droids, the adds can be ignored. The Grace should be killed as it heals TYTH. After the boss is dead, everyone can loot him and jump off the platform to get to the start and take the tram to the next encounter.

For those interested, see the more in-depth explanations below.

The main Mechanic or Anger Management Problems and a Temper Tantrum

TYTH’s main mechanic is Tyth’s rage builds every time an ally falls in battle. Tyth builds a great deal of rage if one of his own attacks kills an ally. Tyth’s rage will begin to subside on its own if he has not gained rage recently. Tyth’s rage is also diminished by certain support abililties from his allies. Every stack of rage increases Tyth’s damage.

2 AIVELA and ESNE

The sisters AIVELA, Goddess of Passion, and ESNE, Goddess of Envy, are the second encounter. The players receive a module allowing them to change polarisation to mitigate various attacks.

2.1 Story Mode

The encounter can be divided into an opener and three phases.

Opener: Codices and Nexus 100% - 50%

In addition to pushing IZAX to 33%, the group must also kill the waves of Hull Cutter Drones that spawn throughout the phase. Aiming the Makeshift Amplifier Drones’ beams at IZAX damages him and can therefore help to push to the next phase before the group is being overwhelmed by Hull Cutters.

When IZAX reaches 33% health, the next phase starts.

Transition Phase: Missiles, Missiles everywhere

In this transition phase, IZAX barrages the group with Attack and Damage Type: Tech, Internal

IZAX fires four Attack and Damage Type: Tech, Internal

Phase 5: Somehow, SCYVA has returned

The fifth phase is somewhat confusing. The group’s objective is to keep SCYVA, whose consciousness is now in a Repurposed GEMINI Droid, alive for two minutes.

SCYVA has the effect This platform is unable to act or defend itself due to computational burden. For lack of any timely alternatives, SCYVA has transferred her consciousness into a GEMINI droid. Unfortunately, this severely constrains SCYVA, as a GEMINI platform has nowhere near the processing power required to fully handle SCYVA’s consciousness.

Energy Balls move from East to West, damaging anyone – including SCYVA – standing in them. A player should tether her out of these Energy Balls.

Combat Mines can spawn from any side and move towards SCYVA where they will explode. Players can tether them, which will either pull them off the roof or somewhere else where they then detonate.

Healers can also heal SCYVA if she is taking too much damage.

Phase 6: An Explosive Solution

The last “phase” consists out of IZAX blowing up.

Most of the roof will turn orange, leaving only one side for the group to hide. As the floor on the outside is still electrified, healing is required. It is also possible to stand on the Overloaded Bypass Conduits to negate the damage from the electrified floor. Standing in such a safe spot is indicated by a red cross above the player.

The group has 10 seconds to get to safety. After that, anyone who is still in the orange circle receives If the ground is glowing hot, you probably shoudln’t be walking there.
