General Notes
  • Casts earth-based magic such as Breakga, Stonega V, Quake II, Slowga and Sleepga.
  • Will occasionally howl throughout the fight, increasing his level and attributes heavily. This seems to be capped at 5 howls per fight.
    • After each howl, will ignore the tank and go after the backline until the tank acts on him again.
  • Uses Gates of Hades above 50%, and Acheron Flame below 50%. Standing behind him with hate can trigger Scorching Lash. When sufficiently leveled, Scorching Lash may easily 1-shot people. Standing in front/on the side will prevent him from using it.
    • Take care when repositioning after howls, as he may use Scorching Lash depending on position of target with hate.
  • Has Enblind on melee attacks.
    • Gives Flash somehow, perhaps through his spikes?
  • It is currently unknown how to reset Old Shuck's level during the fight. Most strategies revolve around zerging before he levels up too much, or a drawn-out fight by whittling him down with a skillchain/magic burst method.
