Walkthrough[edit]

The Shatterer will land north of Waypoint (tango icon).png Lowland Burns Waypoint — after the two pre-events have been completed and the NPCs make their way back to the base situated at the waypoint. Lowland Burns Waypoint will remain uncontested while the Shatterer is spawned, unlike most other waypoints next to world boss spawns.

During the whole fight, players have access to the turrets, mortars, and launchpads. You must use each of them once for the Shattering Setup achievement.

  • The turret gives you two abilities: a single target bomb attack that knocks back, and a AoE bleed and cripple bomb attack. The impact damage of the two attacks is identical; the main difference is that the first skill inflicts instant breakbar damage while the second inflicts greater actual damage thanks to the bleeding.
  • The mortar gives you two abilities: a bomb attack and a med kit deployment skill (that deploys med kits for other players, which count toward the Medic! achievement.)
  • The launchpad launches players into the air. Players that have Glider Basics will be able to glide mid-jump and gain access to three skills. The first two are the same as the mortar (and also count towards Medic!) and the third is a self-heal.

If the Shatterer targets a player with Shatterer Lightning Field.png Shatterer Lightning Field while gliding, he will hit that player with an attack that will knock them out of the sky and potentially kill them; they can dodge the attack for the Lightning Reflexes achievement. The Shatterer also has a slamming attack which sends out a wave of crystals which do high damage, and a roar which sends burning AoE and summons large numbers of spawns, including champions.

The Shatterer's Defiance bar

Periodically, the Shatterer's breakbar will change from segmented grey to teal, and if it is not broken before the window time expires he will become untargetable and use his Shard Storm attack. Breaking the bar, and thus preventing the attack, will progress the No-Fly Zone achievement and must be done every time during a single fight for the Smash the Dragon achievement. It is advised to gather as many players as possible around the glider pads about 15 seconds in advance to allow coordination prior to each jump. Jumps should be done about 5 seconds before breakbar appears. The most common times for jumps are 14:15, 12:15, 9:45, 7:45 (see below for more information).

Pulsating Crystals

Beginning at 50% health, the Shatterer will use a skill every few minutes where he becomes Invulnerable and summons 5 Pulsating Crystals placed throughout the battlefield that will regenerate his health at a rapid rate. All players in the fight will receive a notification just before they are summoned. Each crystal has a Defiance bar that must be broken before they will take any significant damage, at which point they can be quickly destroyed. Once all crystals are destroyed the Shatterer will become susceptible to damage again. Destroying the crystals advances the Crystal Healing Denier achievement.

Breakbar and Crystals times

Breakbar and Crystals rotation is split in 2 parts: before first set of crystals and after first set of crystals.

Rotation before first set of crystals
Common 14:12 12:10 ...
Very rare 14:12 12:08 ...
Very rare 14:07 11:29 ...

The one after first set of crystals depends on time when they appear. A 1-2 second variance is common, but sometimes the big purple dragon doesn't follow this schedule.

Rotation after first set of crystals (only for common rotation from the previous table)
