Lightblossom Trinity
The Blinding Vale · boss 1 of 4
The Lightbloom has suffered a terrible defeat, but like the rutaani it imbues, it changes. These Lightblossomed rutaani fanatically propagate their vicious and invasive garden.
Stand in Kezkitt's beams. Every second a seed grows unblocked is more damage when it blooms — and the three of them share health, so there is nothing to split.
A gardening fight, played in reverse. Meittik breaks the soil, Lekshi plants a Lightblossom in it, Kezkitt beams the seed to force it open, and the finished bloom is group damage scaled by how many stacks of Light-Gorged it accumulated. A player standing in the beam stifles the seed and stops the stacks.
What actually kills you
Everything else is noise until these three are handled.
- Letting a seed germinate unblocked. Lightbloom Overgrowth is group damage priced by the stacks it collected, and nobody blocking means full price.
- Splitting damage between the three. Thicket's Trinity shares all damage taken, so target choice is not a lever — the only lever is the beams.
- The ground disappearing. Fertile Loam slows and damages; when a blossom finishes, its loam withers into Light-Scorched Earth, which is worse.
Your job
If you tank
- Bedrock Slam puts Fertile Loam near your position, and the loam is where Lekshi plants. Where you stand decides where the garden grows.
- On Mythic the slam also causes Bedrock Surge, so it is group damage as well as terrain.
If you heal
- Thornblade bleeds random players for a lot. It is the spike damage in an otherwise steady fight.
- The blooms are the scheduled group damage and their size is decided several seconds earlier by whether anyone stood in the beams.
If you DPS
- Get in the beam. It damages you every second and that is the cost of the mechanic working.
- Cover every seed you can. One unblocked blossom undoes the two that were handled.
How the fight goes
| Part | What to do |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Meittik's Bedrock Slam breaks the soil into Fertile Loam. |
| Step 2 | Lekshi dashes between the patches, sowing a Lightblossom at each. |
| Step 3 | Kezkitt beams the seeds. Block the beams to stifle them, or take Lightbloom Overgrowth at full strength. |

Worth a bonus roll?
You cannot roll this boss on its own. A dungeon roll is against the whole instance, so this table is one part of a pool that includes every other boss in The Blinding Vale — the bonus roll guide explains what that changes, and the planner works it out per spec.
