Overview of the Phase 1 fight between Kakul and Saydon
Welcome to the world of madness. In Phase 1, Kakul-Saydon will use his greeting mechanic to tag each player with one of four suits (spades - hearts - clubs - diamonds). Keep that in mind for later.
Phase 1 also introduces a new mechanic to Lost Ark,Craziness.
- In short, every player has a meter (like the Vykas Charm meter). When full, it turns the player into a clown. With each transformation, Kakul-Saydon gains 1 stack of 3% Defense Bonus.
- When a player's insanity gauge reaches 50%, a crosspoint explosion will trigger.
- If it hits a nearby player, it does little damage and gives the player a circle of madness that increases the madness meter of anyone who enters it.
The other key mechanic to keep in mind is that when your insanity hits 100% your skills are replaced with 3 skills that help your teammates.
- Q - Weakens boss/minion
- W - Reduces the madness meter of your nearby teammates (close range)
- E - Drops a gift box containing an orb that reduces 1 player's Insanity meter.
Siderische
Equal toVykas Legion AssaultYou will have help from Nineveh, Wei and Innana.
- Nineveh (Ctrl+Z)
- Deals the most damage
- Branco (Ctrl+X)
- Deals an insane amount of stunning and decent damage.
- Inana (Ctrl+C)
- Creates a magical shield that provides immunity to Stagger and Knockback effects during its action, partially absorbing damage and gradually reducing the Insanity meter. When the shield disappears, it restores the HP of all players inside it.
key mechanic
Relay Test (X130)
The boss will attack and a stagger bar will appear on it, 1 or 2 purple shields will also appear on the boss which will redirect its damage back to you so watch out.
The purple shields can be the front or back of the boss.
1. Encontre Saydon (X110)
It's the same concept as the Medusa mechanic in Vykas - when everyone must turn the character's face towards the boss (you can use basic attacks to register your character's position in relation to the boss).
The battlefield lights will dim, Saydon will disappear and 4 clones of him will appear in each corner (1/5/7/11 hours).
3 clones do the same animation 1 clone does a different animation, if any player finds the other Saydon animation, everyone must look at that clone.
Saydon clone animation
There are only 2 animations - to see him you have to look closely at his hands, Saydon is performing a heart OR gun animation.
Herzanimation:
Weapon Animation:
Each player must be given a position before joining and only hearts must be pinged.
If 1 ping, it means it's another animation clone. All quickly redirect your character's face to that ping.
If 3 pings, it means the area NOT pinged has another animation clone, everyone quickly redirects your character's face to that area.
If anyone doesn't look for the real Saydon, it's instant death for them.
Last but not least, watch out for the floating red orbs floating in circles around each clone. If he touches a player, he gives the Darkness debuff for 5 seconds.
partyzeite (X85)
The curtains close and reopen turning everyone into clowns, but this time 4 different skills appear for QWER.
Everyone must move to a map slot that matches their map. Take a look at the boss and mimic his moves, easy.
When Saydon turns his back on you and shows an animationYou have to do all the animations except the one he does.
Blind (X50)
The curtains close and reopen to find a large roulette wheel in the center of the area, Saydon standing in the middle of it.
All you have to do here is match your card with the roulette wheel slices three times. Your card's sign changes with each flip.
Make sure you run out of roulette after completing your third card combination, as it will explode, dealing heavy damage and increasing your insanity meter.
2. Encontrando Saydon (X30)
Simple, just like Find Saydon (X110).
random mechanics
slot machines
During the fight, a random clown statue with a slot machine on its head will appear.
If it is holding a suit of cards, it will be discarded, if it is picked up by the player who has the same mark, it will heavily decrease its madness meter.
If taken by the wrong player, it increases your insanity meter enormously.
Sometimes it can drop a bomb that will damage everyone nearby, so be careful.
rainbow
Saydon will roar, then some rainbow lights will appear horizontally or diagonally across the platform. Stay in vacant spots to avoid damage and increase the madness meter.

poker warrior
Saydon will summon the poker warriors, their telegraph meter is yellow, if you get hit by one of them your madness meter will increase, you must clear the area ASAP or the poker warriors will be surrounded by madness, you will increase everyone's madness meter when this happens.
paper birds
Saydon teleports to the edge of the arena and sends the paper birds flying over the area, so they turn towards him. Getting hit by them will stun you and increase your insanity meter. The safe place is next to Saydon's side.

card prison
This mechanic is the hardest random mechanic in Gate 1. Saydon summons a card cube containing random characters.
1 or 3 players get stuck and Saydon starts printing cards and throwing them at a player. If a player picks the wrong card, it damages him and fills his madness meter.
If 2 or 3 cards fail, it's a cleanup.
