Strategy
- Hit the crystal and don't die.
- Cross streams for multi-resurrections.
- Eat Rare Mushrooms right before a stagger.
- Call out the stagger progress bar so everyone is at a safe distance when it un-staggers.
- Use a clock system on the platform to call out positions for resurrections.
- Use private comms. Global chat doesn't work well on a platform this size.
- Mage DPS stay slightly behind him; tanks stay in front and pull him counterclockwise.
- If you die before he passes your clock position, wait for him to pass before anyone can resurrect you.
