The Complete Tarisland Dungeon Tank Guide

Tarisland dungeons and bosses are a core part of the game. It can be quite stressful to tank without some knowledge, so we’ve put together this guide to show you the core mechanics of each boss and the strategy on how to deal with them, focusing mostly on Elite mode with some information on Challenge mode mechanics as well. When you venture into the Arcane Realm, expect the same mechanics as the core dungeons but with increased damage and additional affixes to up the challenge.

Boss 1: Silno

  • Mechanics: Easy fight with minimal tanking specifics.
  • Strategy:
    • Avoid the large AoE placed by the boss.
    • On first knockback, run to the room’s edge and circle around to dodge the wolves.
    • During the match stage, focus on attacking the adds.

Boss 2: Satyug

  • Mechanics: Requires strategic positioning.
  • Strategy:
    • Taunt and pull the boss to the room’s edge to free up space for your group.
    • Stay close to the boss to easily move out of the cone AoE.
    • Walk into orbs: Stage 1 (Earth), Stage 2 (Water), Stage 3 (Fire).
    • Avoid AoEs under you and keep the boss stationary.

Boss 3: Bonacius

  • Mechanics: Manage positioning and AoE.
  • Strategy:
    • Keep the boss in the room’s centre and stay away from teammates.
    • Dodge the charge AoE and avoid the small orbs.
    • During add phase, spam AoE skill for aggro.
    • In the final phase, kite around the boss without moving it.
    • Ensure no AoEs are behind you before knockbacks.

Challenge Mode

  • Mechanics: Increased health, damage, and a stacking debuff (Doomsday).
  • Strategy:
    • Doomsday stacks to 55 will kill you; remove stacks by walking next to Rift of Omen.
    • Rifts spawn on a timer and have different mechanics based on colour:
      • Grey Rift: Creates orbs to avoid, gaining more stacks if hit.
      • Red Rift: Places an AoE under you five times in a row.
