Playing Dragonheir: Silent Gods can be rounded up into two things: Staying on the edge of your seat and hoping your team pulls through during a boss fight, or sinking all the way to the back when you fail to do enough damage. This becomes rather frustrating when you’re just a few hits away and then your party just crumbles.
Well, there’s no time to mourn, the Heretical Ruins won’t clear itself. So, before your gaming chair soaks up too much of your juices, give the guide a read and find out which heroes can clear a path for you!
Heretical Ruins Guide
The Heretical Ruins will be the fourth dungeon you will encounter during your adventure in Dragonheir: Silent Gods.
Not only that, but it’s also the dungeon where you can farm all the Positive Runes for your heroes. You’re going to have to work your way towards the Dead Phoenix boss first to get your runes.
Boss Details
As per usual, each boss will have their own set of skills to try and put you down. The first skill (Scorch) will get casted twice when you’re fighting this boss. It spews fireballs at the selected target and splashes everyone else, inflicting them with Burn.
Nirvana is its second skill and it hatches any of the Phoenix Eggs that spawn nearby. You also have its ultimate skill (Fire of Dead Phoenix) where it deals fire damage to all targets and inflicts 2 stacks of burn for 12 seconds.
Boss Fight Strategy
Frurbath in this scenario is a bit overkill, but he’s done so well in our other guides that he’s basically our go-to guy when it comes to healing.
The Crown of the Unclean has been duct taped to his head as well. Having a 75% chance of inflicting Defense Penalty every time an ultimate skill is used is rather useful. That and the debuff lasts for ten seconds.
For your backup healer, you can use Heksandra. Her presence is not really needed since you can easily just replace her with another damage dealer. But if this is your first time running the Heretical Ruins, then go ahead and try her out first.
You’ll also want to have Tonalnan and make use of his single target damage. Again, this can be replaced with anybody. However, killing the Phoenix will be faster this way. Give him the Eyeball of the Giant and have him blast the Phoenix with his ultimate whenever you can.
Usually, you would have the Eyeball on Sigrid, but for this run we gave her the Volcanic Disc. Lastly, we have Adolphus built for enlightenment. He also has the Brotherhood Spirit set which increases Attack on all of your allies after using your ultimate skill.
Skill Timing & Other Notes
The boss has four skills in total, each with a six second cooldown time. Have Adolphus use his shield before his ultimate. Frurbath has his ultimate timed to when the phoenix finishes placing his attack penalty on your party.
Heksandra will be due to heal your party after the second repeat of the first skill. All of this is timed to make sure that everyone has enough health before another round of hell begins.
Once the eggs hatch, your DPS unit should be able to dispatch the phoenixes quickly. Erasing them from the field with your ultimate should be your main concern. The rest of the fight should be easy as long as you prioritize your targets correctly.
And that’s how you do a proper Heretical Ruins run in Dragonheir: Silent Gods. Try the setup for yourself and see if you can deal a good amount of damage!
