There are not too many mechanics in the boss fight with Betelguese. Key things to note are that it won't take damage when a party member is dead, so you will need to make sure everyone is alive, and the boss can cast Max Pain after a long cast time that will reflect all damage it takes which will essentially wipe your team. Max Pain is important to play around so make sure you have a way to remove the buff and not to hit it when it is in Max Pain status. It also casts a very powerful comet that will do significant damage to your team. | There are not too many mechanics in the boss fight with Betelguese.

Starting on its second phase, the map will have traps that move across the map vertically to deal significant fixed damage on the player when they are hit by them. The traps don't do enough damage to kill you but will do about 80% of your hp in damage. These traps will still occur again in the third phase. | Starting on its second phase, the map will have traps that move across the map vertically to deal significant fixed damage on the player when they are hit by them, and they cannot be blocked by LP.

Additionally, in the second phase, dead souls will spawn across the map which will prevent Betelguese from taking any damage until all of them are dead. These dead souls will have to be killed to progress in the fight. | Additionally, in the second phase, dead souls will spawn across the map which will prevent Betelguese from taking any damage until all of them are dead.

Once a portal is entered, after a brief time the portal will disappear and spawn at a new location. As such, the party should enter together to avoid having to look for the portal again. After half the party members have entered the portal and into the next room, the boss fight can be started. | Once a portal is entered, after a brief time the portal will disappear and spawn at a new location.

HoL has a lot of mechanics to be aware of. Overall, it is just a boss fight in two phases. One key factor for HoL is that the fight can become very snowbally, as Rigel gains stacking health regen after a player dies. That means that once a player dies, Rigels HP regen gets higher, so the fight gets longer and more players die, and so rigels HP regen gets higher, and so on until the HP regen makes the boss unkillable. | HoL has a lot of mechanics to be aware of.

In Phase 2, the Portals and the Phantom Space is gone. However, Rigel will cast Sanctuary on itself after a certain amount of time. While she is on Sanctuary, she won't take any damage, so she has to be moved out of the sanctuary to damage her. | In Phase 2, the Portals and the Phantom Space is gone.
