Yellow Orb and Black Orbs
When Witch of the Enchantment Sarahiel reaches 15 HP Bars, find and kill the Yellow Orb. Killing Black orbs results in the screen going dark. Once Yellow Orb is defeated, head to center to teleport all players to the Shark side. Here, players must stack on the player who has the Yellow Aura to become immune to damage. Killing the Witch repeats the Orb mechanic.
Street Shark Attacks
Be very mindful of the sharks attacks, which deplete Oxygen rapidly.
Debuff and Poison Puddle
Players who start on the Green Side (Shark side), must dispel the debuff by stepping into the poison puddle momentarily.

Arrow
One player gets an arrow above their character; they must align themselves in front of a pillar to make the boss destroy it. You can safely dodge away at the last moment when he spins. The rest will get a circle that explodes, these players should spread out.

Safe Zones
Every 90 seconds the boss teleports to the center. You must get to a safe zone to stay alive. They are loosely placed in an “Arrow” formation. 3 south of the boss, 1 West, 1 Northwest, 1 North, 1 Northeast, 1 East. Only one player per zone.
Stagger Check
At 28 and 12 HP Bars there is a huge Stagger check. It is fairly quick so use Whirlwind Grenades or Clay Grenades and your highest Skills with Stagger.
Yellow Orbs
Destroy Yellow Orbs; Use Sleep Bombs on Big Yellow Orbs. If not using Sleep Bombs, they require a lot of stagger to destroy.
Freezing Orb
Make contact with the Freezing Orb at the center of a huge circle with an outer wall. It will freeze you for 3 seconds, but prevent everyone else from being frozen for 10 seconds.
