Dark Path Changes daily
If you get this path, swim together and take the Luminous Plants on the way to protect you and nearby players from dying. If you are able to survive it, take the shortcut to the left after entering the larger cave. Use dodges or Invulnerability for the last group of Krait. If someone reaches the krait champion, use /gg to immediately resurrect there.
Dolphin Path Changes daily
If you get this path, spam Skill 1 during swimming to reveal nearby hidden Krait and keep to the right. You can use Skill 2 to create a distraction and Skill 3 to get Stealth. Skill 5 can be used to instantly revive nearby dead allies. Always dodge twice when you anticipate a Krait attack. As soon as someone reaches the checkpoint you wait for your party to /gg and spawn next to you. Kill the Champion Krait to get to the Jellyfish Beast.

Jellyfish Beast
The Jellyfish Beast does not have a breakbar since the rework. Instead a special version of Exposed called Weakened is given to the boss. Sadly the
does not work with this effect. Use
and
(Krait for the split phases) instead - when playing power based builds.
The boss always starts with an AoE stun-spin attack. Stability spam is recommended to handle this encounter gracefully. Every now and then the boss eats a player. To free themselves, the player will need to complete a guitar-hero styled puzzle by always clicking the highlighted skill. If you miss the right skill too often you die.
Every 25% the boss gets Invulnerability and Elite Krait spawn. Kill them to continue the fight.
When the Mistlock Instability: Afflicted is present, it is highly recommended to bring some kind of condition-cleanse due to the ticking aura during the split phases applying conditions.
Use
and
. Use
instead of
if there is Mistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain. When the Jellyfish raises all of it's tentacle cast
.
Use
. If you have multiple Guardians in your team, consider taking
