Ultraviolet laser attack[edit]

I think that if players kill all the microprime holograms that spawn before the beam is fully charged, the laser attack does not fire, however I'm not 100% sure of that. Its a little difficult to tell what's going on at times. Psycho Robot (talk) 00:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Indicator icon[edit]

Apparently we need a new one. --Claret (talk) 18:04, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Correct area?[edit]

There are three ids for this event which MAY mean that there are events in three different areas or maybe not. Needs checking. --Claret (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

As with the other events onboard the airship, three instances of this event are active whenever players succeed at beating the Assault Knights. It's similar to the marionette fight where players get split into three "platforms" (north, southwest, southeast), and all three need to succeed at the hologram fight for access to Scarlet to be granted. All three events seem to be identical, though, and players can't see the other two platforms, which leads to the confusion. Vili 点 User talk:Vili 18:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
It seems to me that only your platform needs to succeed to gain access to Scarlet's End. Most players have just been zerging each assault knight one by one, and all going onto one platform. It opened with the Ultraviolet's death the whole time, once the fights finished, for me. Konig 20:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Konig is right, the only platform that matters is your own platform, but even if you go in the same portal, you're still divided up amongst the platforms. During a run a couple nights ago, my party members went to a different platform and they killed scarlet, got their chest, and went into scarlet's end instance, whereas my platform failed and got nothing. Not that I'm bitter or anything. Psycho Robot (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
I'd heard that it doesn't matter what portal you take; people get split up into three platforms automatically. When I was on a map where we zerged one knight at a time, and everyone went to the Red portal, we got split up into three approximately even groups (or so it seemed). In this way it's different than Marionette. But it's nice to know that it's per platform, since I always seem to end up on ones with bugged holograms. >_> Vili 点 User talk:Vili 11:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

RGB Holo icons[edit]

For the second phase of the fight, the event icons changes, becoming 3 different icons matching the Red/Blue/Green system. It's the same as the white one from the beginning sans the color change. Should these icons be added to the article somewhere? Konig 05:25, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
