You can use SAK 5 to mark the east side of the platform, so everyone can easily check where is the safest spot from the eyes. You just put the light orbs before you start the fight, and they’ll still remain there until the end

[@VarjoPira]

Specter is just value here. Stability, resistance, ports for quick spacing, consistent dps and massive CC.

[@EddieQuezada]

Thanks for the tips! ❤ Just beat CM

[@philippborner5490]

Hi Vallun, just got into cms recently and this guide is perfect, explaining all the mechanics as they are happening and then showing a commentary run is imo the best way to explain it and i really enjoyed the guide, left a sub :) are you planning on making guides for the other cms as well in the same fashion?

[@Vallun]

unfortunately no, but if you are interested in a guide for those you can still use the guildjen.com text guide

[@HyldenLord]

About the dread eye you die if you stare at 2 or more eyes. Sometimes you are positioned so that you cannot avoid all eyes, then it is best to look at exactly one to get feared and not die

[@Hexrun]

never stand in front of the aspect, it can still choose someone else in which case you will break the tether making him stop doing the mechanic for a while then targeting again at random, this makes you lose a lot time to finish the mechanic and probably wipe the party, best is to always split and stay still between the aspects

[@thehasen6037]

after doing killing my teather npc, I use the mushroom to get back and immediately get teatherd again? and at this point i dont have enough time to kill another one and we wipe? what am i doing wrong? this only happened so far when a group member has died. Should I just stay on my platform until everyone else has killed their npc too?

[@imdamanization]

Do you have similar vids for other fractal cms?

[@huna7a]

Whats the dark circle shadow trap area for during the split phases? I stepped in that twice today and my party wiped twice.

[@minav2975]

I was using Alac scourge, and I think my issue was my trying to dodge during the eyeball-numeral phase

[@claytonking5970]

This is a really good guide thank you, haven't gotten a kill yet but being patient and also playing specter has made my runs fairly smooth so far. That last phase is just very chaotic right now for me.

[@avealar3983]

At 17:00, what do you do if you aren't a class with a shroud or distort? I take a lot of damage being in that red aoe. I tried to dodge at that phase and got hit by fears because it changed my positioning.

[@Vallun]

as i said many times, sit there and dont move. You moving and dying to fear is worse than you going down and having your allies revive you

[@Theuubestofbuus]

Nice work 😁👍, good content and no drama I love it.

[@CodyOwnedU]

very awesome guide. i have 2 questions though, for 33% tether phase, do 5 people get selected or 4? in vid it showed 4, but unsure if mechanic was updated since upload and i main heal so VERY limited time to travel island and kill. idk if teammates just not grabbing it or i need to do 50k dmg as healer in few sec also, specific to herald, is there something i can use similar to your signet usage for the fear if i mess up by chance? for as punishing as this frac is, timely and 1shot, i dont want to ruin ppls experience for deaths i can potentially avoid appreciate any and all insight (:

[@Vallun]

stun breaks work on fears too, and i believe it may only be 3 or 4 for the mechanic, for sure not everyone but i dont think its easy to control who gets it

[@nick0123210]

I've only completed this on NM, but after watching this video I don't see many differences with the CM in terms of mechanics, only more punishing? Am I missing something or is this correct?

[@dragongoddragneel7106]

CM is more punishing and more health and the fractal as a whole is anti stacking so for a gw2 player it is difficult

[@nick0123210]

@@dragongoddragneel7106 so nothing major different, compared to other fractal CM's this feels very similar

[@dragongoddragneel7106]

​​@@nick0123210CM feels more engaging than nm. There is a lot to learn and easy to fail and lot of insta kills. It brings more shine to gw2 combat that they advertised when they made the game that is no holy trinity. We still use boom giving class but it feels you achieved victory not by doing giga dps but following the mechanics and the fight In a word, it's challenging

[@omega83]

CC'ing give the boss Dread Defiance, which makes subsequent CCs harder and harder; it also lower the Exposed duration. So, isn't it better that we don't CC early on?

[@Vallun]

if you're low on cc that can work

[@critical-thinker666]

dumbest part is boss getting *ccd* for 1 sec and than starts jumping again 🤣

[@FamIly-pv3cw]

Huh ??? since when Kanaxai was in GW2 ???

[@mormegil231]

Since last month.

[@dragongoddragneel7106]

They changed the name now

[@mormegil231]

@@dragongoddragneel7106 huh? no they did not. What do you mean?

[@HyldenLord]

He is the boss of the latest fractal. He starts the fight as the Unknown Demon, and at 66% he introduces himself as Kanaxai.

[@ray5330]

I hear Persona 5 = I like
