So I understand the mechanics, but I’ve noticed the portal to totem locations seem to switch after the first Shatter Reality.
Example, we go through the front left, front right and side left portals destroying all three totems… the next time we go to the back right but it’s an empty platform. Do they rotate somehow, is it random?
If you break a totem it stays broken. Portals are only up for totems that aren’t broken
The portal take you to a location on the map relative to Mueh’zala’s current position, after each portal phase, Mueh’zala moves to a different location in the map.
Yeah basically the “main platform” you return to is never the same one as before. So what you need to do is actively look in the areas around him to see where the totems are still up. The portal locations roughly correspond to the platforms behind him. You’ll see 2 in the distance behind him, and 2 basically immediately to each side of him. Look for totems and take the corresponding portal based on its position
eg: Totem in the distance on the right side= front right portal
I’ve had at least one heroic where the port came up, I landed and there was nothing there (particularly bad DoS lfg, saw 3 shatter realities)
If you’re doing it in a decent group, I recommend saving bloodlust for the totems and trying to kill all 4 in one go. My usual group splits up with each dps handling one totem on their own, and then the healer and tank taking one together.
Cuts down the fight by a lot as long as you can meet that one dps check on the totems.
My first time, I thought that purple circle was something to stand on… I jumped at it and fell to my death.
They occasionally rotate, yes. The way you know is by watching the purple beams behind Mueh’zala and adjusting. If a purple beam isn’t coming from right anymore, you know it’s on the left side.
Portals send you to a platform relative to the platform you are on. Since your ‘base’ platform changes, so do the platforms your portals take you to. That said, if you miss getting all 4 in one go, you gotta look to see where the remaining totem is relative to where you get pulled to, that way you can know which portal to take the second time around
I don’t think this is true, at least not in the runs I’ve done… al four portals spawn each time and then they take us to an empty spot
Maybe it’s random. Portals to the ones killed in my few TOS runs weren’t showing up.
I believe you, maybe it’s buggy I wouldn’t be shocked
Easiest way I’ve handled this is totems are left to right, portals are left to right in the same order.
There are four portals up and they all stay up regardless of how many of those totems are broken unless something has changed since I last done it. I’ve had a group mess it up and kept taking the front 2 portals and they kept getting sent to the wrong platform. Making it so you’d have to make a dash to whatever platform and hope you can dps it down in time to do the totem. Ended up having to do the last few percent the long way.
That was a month + ago now.
Yeah we had to do that yesterday, 2 people died first time so the rest of us had to figure it out it took I think 4 phases… maybe 5
