Grand Master Riviute Guide

Grand Master Riviute is either the first or second boss in Catacombs of the Damned depending on if a party chooses to go West or East first. He is melee orientated and moves around a lot but fortunately telegraphs his moves.

Skills:
AoE Fire Blast: Regularly Riviute will charge a fire blast, during this time it is important to run away from him. The blast will do significant damage if hit by it.

Focused Charge: Riviute will point at a person in the group and charge at them. It is easily dodged by rolling left or right.

Strategy:
This fight requires heavy movement by the party. Players will often be running outside the group and if Riviute targets a healer or sorcerer keeping their distance, the melee will have to chase him. This fight can either be really easy or really difficult depending on the parties ability to dodge.

At one point during the fight a sword will drop. A player in melee group should pick this up and use it rapidly on the boss. It does around 6k damage per hit. Overall, this fight is easy as long as players can dodge left or right and move away from the boss during a fire circle.
