RELATED: Awesome Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do In Lost Ark

While Aira’s Oculus was a 1325 Item Level minimum, Oreha Prevaza is 1340, and the Legendary Gear players can craft from the materials dropped from the bosses should prove useful until 1370. Lost Ark players can expect to fight two Bosses in this dungeon, the Angry Moguro Captain and Corrupted Albion. Now, without further ado, let’s get into it.

First Section: Defeat The Flocking Moguro

First up on the list of things Lost Ark players have to do to clear this Dungeon it’s…a scenic elevator ride? Most will likely recognize this from the Main Story Quest version of this Dungeon from the Punika Storyline as the elevator lets players off into a large mob of Tecateca Blooms

This is a pretty standard mob-clearing section that can be compared to any other Abyssal Dungeon. Simply clear the mobs that spawn, as fast as possible, and make that giant leap to the checkpoint to load into the Angry Moguro Captain Boss fight.

Second Section: Angry Moguro Captain

The confrontation with the Angry Moguro Captain, while pretty simple mechanically, is one where players need to especially keep an eye out to get through it cleanly. For example, players who take a look under the Boss’ HP Bar should notice right away that it starts with two Buffs. One is an attack buff that gives it 20 percent more attack until the first time it’s Staggered (then the Buff disappears).

The other is a constant Buff that causes any player to get stunned after they’ve been hit by three of his attacks in quick succession. Other than that, the only other real “mechanics” players have to worry about are his Firey Arena, his Upgraded Spin Attack, and the Totems that get spawned from time to time.

Regular Attacks

Because most players are simply just worried about DPS’ing the Moguro Captain down in time before it has too many opportunities to use its Upgraded Spinning Attack, there’s a large percentage of Lost Ark’s player base that know nothing about most of Moguro Captain’s moveset. To rectify this, let’s go over all the attacks now:

The default State in which the Moguro Captain summons Totems from time to time and uses its full kit of attacks The Firey Arena phase where players must stay close to the Angry Moguro Captain and the Boss’ moveset gets some slight changes.

To be more clear, there are times throughout the fight where the Moguro Captain literally turns the entire arena into a fiery inferno, with the only safe zone being this watery “bubble” around the boss that players can stand in. When this happens, players will take damage over time and accrue more and more Burn stacks the longer they stay in the fire. And, while this can be mitigated to an extent with Consumables like Panacea or Sacred Charms, it’s much easier to just stick close to the Captain and dodge away when it uses some of its larger AoE attacks.

Final Section: Corrupted Albion

Here it is, the final Boss of the Tier 3 Abyssal Dungeon, Albion. Oddly enough, Oreha Preveza only has three sections instead of the default four, making it a part of the easier endgame content, at least in terms of time. For those who were skipping every Cutscene, Albion is one of the only friendly Guardians seen in Lost Ark’s current story and is also the NPC players trade their Omnium Stars into. But, this Albion is currently Corrupted by Demonic Energy and isn’t in full control of its actions.

Because of this, players get to see what this Guardian is capable of, which is quite a lot. Taking a page from Seto’s book or even Drakhan’s from the Tranquil Karkosa, Albion has tons of different important mechanics players need to learn before heading into the fight, so let’s not waste any more time and get started going over them all.

Regular Attacks

Outside of all those crazy mechanics, Albion also has quite a lot of hard-to-dodge regular attacks as well, with some that are only used in specific forms. As always, the golden rule of “avoid the red” applies here so that players don’t have to memorize every attack and can just keep this in mind to survive. But, for the dedicated players who want to perfect this encounter, here are all the regular attacks as well:

Once Albion uses a specifically pronged star pattern, it won’t use that same pattern for the remaining two Shockwaves, so players can auto-eliminate it from their minds. The arena is big enough that players may have a difficult time running around the larger circle before time runs out. To get around this, parties tend to assign cardinal directions before going into Albion’s fight, and then they look in their “quadrant” of the circle first for the correct pattern before moving toward the other ones. The 6-pronged and 8-pronged starts look very similar at a glance, the only difference being the top and bottom prongs that the 8-prong star has. While this might seem obvious, many players don’t notice the top prong of the star when looking at the one above Albion’s wings, as it tends to blend in. So, make sure to look extra carefully before heading toward to associated safe zone.

These aren’t all the attacks that Albion can use, and some of them are exclusive to specific Forms while others can be used in any Form. This Boss has so many attacks it can use that it’s incredibly difficult to keep track of them all. Thankfully, the tried and true Combat practice of attacking the Boss’ backside works here too, as this Boss doesn’t have a lot that hits directly behind it.

Differences Between Normal & Hard Oreha Preveza

Now, players might be scared to even consider attempting Oreha Well’s [Hard] Mode, considering how much of a challenge it is to beat the [Normal] version the first time. Thankfully, there’s not all too much of a difference between the two difficulties, and there aren’t any extra mechanics players have to remember. But, just so players have all the information needed, here are all the differences between the two modes.

Hard Mode is locked behind Item Level 1370 minimum (good luck with Honing). There are different Material drops in Hard Mode that build into Legendary Grade 1370 Gear as well as similar Item Level Accessory Rewards. Both [Normal] and [Hard] Mode share the same entrance counter, meaning that if a player has already cleared Oreha’s Well on [Normal], they won’t be able to attempt the [Hard] mode until after Weekly Reset. In general, Bosses are just a little tankier and do a good chunk more damage to players with all attacks. For example, Moguro Captain’s Upgraded Spin Attack is almost a 100 percent one-shot KO if a player gets stuck in it on [Hard] Lastly, instead of starting in either Lightning or Earth Form, Albion always starts in its Enraged State when on the [Hard] difficulty.

Recommended Consumables & Engravings

Thankfully, even though Oreha Preveza has some complex mechanics, it doesn’t require a bunch of different Consumables to clear reliably. In general, players might just want to consider:

Obviously, they want to bring HP Potions, more specifically Elemental HP Potions since they allow for two more heals for a total of seven. Whirlwind Grenades are a must for Albion’s Stagger Check and can even be used to get rid of Angry Moguro Captains damage buff even quicker. Time Stop Potions are a good “last resort” for some of the more challenging mechanics, such as Albion’s Lightning Storm or Moguro Captain’s Upgraded Spin Attack. Marching Flags or Swift Robes are also very helpful for Albion’s Whirlwind Memory Game just like they helped out a lot in the Road of Lament’s Najjar fight. While neither Boss can be cleared all too quickly, Dark Grenades never hurt and make the fight take a bit less time overall. And of course, as always, players should have many of the Skill Point Potions already collected and their Raid Class Setup equipped with regard to their Gear, Faceted Ability Stone, Engravings, and Accessories.
