My terrible notepad writeup of steps: https://i.imgur.com/KxdneQ4.png

Short write up of the only mechanics you need to deal with.

Dabog: Open then dodge left/right slash. Stand in tower, tower will knock you a short distance radially from the center of the tower. Point yourself into an open spot of 3 cleaves, boss will do a short knockback, instant cleave will follow with safe spots in the center of previous cleave zones.
Nothing happens until circle aoes appear on the ground, boss will push you a long way (stand on his hitbox in the safe spot of cleaves, donโ€™t be scared of the circle aoes) dodge the instant cleave the same way as first set.

Menenius: Open, after his first castbar finishes pop light curtain to reflect bits. When two mines spawn, walk over the blue one, never walk over the red one again. Giga tempest will do a raidwide then spawn a travelling line aoe across the room with 1 safe lane through it. Just stand in the safe zone.
Heโ€™ll load either windslicer or dark shot, then shoot it with gunberd. Wind = knockback dark = be far away from him.

Lyon: Open, as soon as your opener is finished (scorch) swap flare star for dispel and dispel the buff given by Harness Fire. Heโ€™ll summon a clone then jump across the room from it, just stand behind the clone (opposite Lyon) and keep hitting him at range. The exaflare ballast movement can be tricky, you could just pop another excellence and invuln cheese it though I think but he should be dead by now.

  1. Keep in mind that the game has a Cap on Benefitial Buffs you can have so you generally want to avoid any defensive Buffs for a "Just buff the hell out of flarestar" attempt as it might interfere with more powerful buffs like FoM or Banner making Flarestar hit like a wet noodle in comparisson just because you capped with a Lost Shell that does nothing for you.

    I do like challenges but I just want the mount so this is a god send, many, many thanks!

  3. Could it be that extra buffs (Bravery, Dervish, Step) are mandatory?
    I keep dropping Zadnor Lyon to 10% only to get oneshotted by Heart of Nature.
