Basteroe is either the first or second boss in Catacombs of the Damned depending on if a party chooses to go West or East first. Basteroe can either be absurdly easy or absurdly difficult depending on your groups approach.
Basteroe Skills:
Black Hole: When the fight starts there will be a black how on the ground and if the boss is lured into it, he will take double damage.
Ground Explosion: The damage from this skill is easily avoided and easily healed through. It is shown as a green area before it explodes. Sometimes it will be difficult to see it with the effects from Black Hole.
Summon Wraith: Basteroe will summon Wraiths that have their own set of skills.
Wraith Skills:
Scream: AoE damage upon being summoned.
Fireball: If you are targeted by the Wraith and a distance away, the Wraith will opt to shoot a fireball at you.
Sickle Attack: If you are targeted by the Wraith and in melee distance, the Wraith will opt to strike you with his sickle. This will occasionally be a double strike.
Strategy:
The easiest strategy for this fight is to stand in the Black Hole with the boss and dps him down. Since you will be doing double damage the fight will last a short amount of time and the healer should be able to keep you up through it. During this time it is still helpful to avoid Ground Explosion if you can.
This fight can end up going horribly wrong if players start to panic and spread out. It makes it a lot tougher on the healer and as they run around the boss is living longer.

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.

Maneloth Guide
Manelloth is the final Boss in Catacombs of the Damned and for many groups a major stepping stone. He is one of the first bosses players will have to deal with that actually requires a decent amount of awareness.
Skills:
Black Shield: Manelloth creates a black shield around himself. While this shield is active he will regain health. This means that when the shield is up players should burst heavily to bring it down.
Lightning Strike: Manelloth attacks with a straight stream of lightning. The attack does multiple strikes against an opponent and will hit all opponents caught in the stream. This is easily dodged since it has a long charge time.
Lightning Ball: When Manelloth reaches around 30% health he makes a small ball of lightning that follows a random party member, generally the one furthest from the boss. This member needs to run to ensure the ball doesn't hit him. If it hits it will go toward another party member, generally the main group where it will chain lightning to all of them. This skill is pretty much spammed.
AoE Fire Blast: Manelloth will begin by charging a small ring of fire underneath him which will explode to do AoE damage. This is easily blocked for reduced damage.
Shadow Bomb: A player will randomly be marked with a small dot above their head. This player needs to get away from other players because they will explode to deal damage and a stun.
Strategy:
The strategy for this fight is pretty straight forward. The clerics and sorcerers should stay at range and apart from each other. This will ensure that they can just spam their skills since the only abilities that will directly target them is lightning ball and the occasional shadow bomb.
The melee group should be able to avoid 90% of lightning strikes and shadow bombs by staying on their toes. The AoE fire blast will catch them occasionally but is easily healed through. The trouble doesn't really start for the group until lightning ball comes out. Should the cleric or sorcerer get hit by the lightning ball the melee member it is targeting needs to lead it away from the other melee.
All the damage during this fight is easily healed through as long as the melee group stays together and avoids getting chained in skills. Getting hit by any skill is not difficult but when a melee gets hit by lightning strike, fire blast, and then is unlucky enough to get shadow bombed, it strains the healer. If one dps goes down, it is unlikely the group will be able to damage through the black shield fast enough.
