Hall of Illusions (Hard) — Dungeon Guide

A detailed guide for the Hall of Illusions dungeon on Hard mode: mechanics of the three bosses, transitional barrier challenges, and Gear Score requirements.

Preparation and General Tips

• GS (Gear Score): For a comfortable Hard clear, GS ~4000 and Combat Power ≥ 400,000 are recommended
• Consumables: Always carry yellow potions — they remove periodic damage (DoT). Scrolls and power shards are highly recommended
• Dungeon Feature: All three bosses apply DoT effects — remove them promptly with yellow potions

Boss 1 — Nazarak

The main mechanic of this boss is shadows. The golden rule: lead the shadows into the glowing circles on the ground in time.

🔴Red Circle on a Player

A red zone appears on a random group member.

• Other team members must immediately run away from this player
• Stay close only if you are the marked player

👁️Spirits / Shadows

A shadow begins to chase the player with the "eye" icon.

• Lead the shadow into a glowing magic circle on the ground — the shadow will disappear
• If the shadow catches you or you fail to lead it into a circle — it will deal constant damage
• At the end, the shadow applies a mass fear to the entire group (removed by the Defiance skill)

💥Ultimate Mechanic

When the boss creates four explosions around itself — shadows appear for all players simultaneously.

1. Each player leads their shadow into a circle on the ground
2. Immediately after that, urgently move (with a jump or teleport) to the center, to the boss

🔮Flying Spheres

• Do not touch the flying orbs — they deal constant damage while nearby
• Keep your distance and avoid them

Transitional Trials — Mirror Wall

Between bosses, you will encounter magical wall-barriers. A death wall moves behind the group — it kills instantly on contact.

🧱How to Break the Barriers

• The barrier is immune to most skills — hit it with your fastest attacks (LMB/RMB)
• Abilities with many fast hits work well (e.g., a Mage's "Firestorm")
• On the second (more "tanky") barrier, these are extremely useful: healer's totem, attack speed scrolls, and attack speed buffs

Boss 2 — Glassvein

This boss's mechanics are more obvious and easier to read. The main principle is to spread out in time and jump over.

💎Crystals and Beams

Crystals are placed around the arena, which explode and release spreading beams.

• You must jump over the beams
• Watch the crystals and prepare for jumps in advance

🔥Periodic Damage Zones

Four red fields appear, which leave behind zones with heavy DoT damage.

• Spread out — so the zones land far from convenient spots for the group
• Simply walk out of zones that have already appeared

🌀Pull-In

The boss creates a large red field, pulls players in, and delivers a powerful strike.

• As soon as you see the red field — immediately run out of the damage zone
• The pull-in doesn't give much time — react immediately

Final Boss — Nathara

The most difficult opponent with unique Hard mode mechanics. Requires attentiveness and group coordination.

⚡Diverging Lasers (Hard only)

The boss fires two lasers in front of her, then spreads them apart across 350°, covering almost the entire arena.

• As soon as you see the floor markers — immediately move behind the boss's back
• This is the only safe zone

✨Light Reflection with Shards (at 75% and 30% HP)

At 75% and 30% HP, a special reflection mechanic occurs.

1. Crystals explode all over the arena, leaving behind mirror shards
2. Pick up a shard (press F)
3. Face the orbs of light flying from the boss and reflect them back at her

👥Illusions — Clones (Hard only)

The boss summons two clones. They must be destroyed within a limited time.

• You have 30–35 seconds to destroy both clones
• After the first clone dies, you only have 5 seconds to kill the second one
• Recommendation: bring both clones' HP down to 30–40%, and only then finish them off one by one
• Make sure the clones do not stand next to each other — their combined damage quickly wipes the group
