Stat and Equipment Requirements

HP

HP isn't too much of a concern for Standard difficulty, as all on-element adventurers should be able to withstand the unavoidable damage High Zodiark inflicts at the beginning of the fight if they have sufficiently strong equipment, and off-element adventurers likely utilize disabling afflictions to prevent the opening blast from ever happening.

Weapons

Standard & Expert

Crafting Void Bane or better, can improve your adventurer's performance in the quest, though technically optional. Still, if possible, at least equip your adventurers with Void Bane weapons at minimum.

Master

A Void Bane weapon is the bare minimum possible to clear the quest at Master difficulty, but it's strongly suggested to at least craft a MUB HDT1 weapon with materials obtained from High Jupiter's Trial: Expert.

Pop-Star Siren can extend other adventurer's time spent in dragon form, which is important as Light dragons tend to be extremely powerful compared to adventurers.

Wyrmprints

Most adventurers should equip their standard wyrmprints.

Party Roles

Baiter DPS

These adventurers will be performing close-range baiting for the majority of the fight.

You can also perform close-range baiting with other melee DPSes in the next section, though these adventurers below have short reach, making it easier.

Adventurer	Notes

DPS

These units will be doing the majority of the DPS, and provide buffs/debuffs if applicable.

Due to the low difficulty of the quest, almost every adventurer, including off-element adventurers, will work for this quest. This lists only the more notable on-element adventurers for the quest with short descriptions.

Healer

The healer provides defensive support and take care of any damage the adventurers may incur.

Adventurer	Notes
Error: Table Adventurers not found.	Healing-focused healer with Curse relief and a Error: Table Conditions not found. . Can lift curses, has a higher healing output than other Light-attuned healers, and allows more equipment flexibility due to Error: Table Abilities not found. .
Error: Table Adventurers not found.

Error: Table Adventurers not found.	Energy support healer with Error: Table Conditions not found. healing, which may improve DPS compared to other healers. Similar to Felicia, he also has partial skill prep as well as no innate curse resist, somewhat limiting his wyrmprint choices.

General Party Setup

The three real requirements for general compositions are as follows:

One of the adventurers in the composition must be able to heal the entire team in a significant manner if the teamwide DPS is not expected to be extremely high (i.e. not at least an entire team of MUB HDT1s/any HDT2s)
One of the adventurers should behave as the close range baiter. Usually, this job falls to either the DPS with the shortest reach, or the host (Player 1).
- Having multiple adventurers with similar reach may cause baiting issues, though it can be worked around with careful play.

Attacks and Patterns

Cursed Catastrophe

This is the fight's initial "HP check" blast.

Any adventurer with
Error: Table Abilities not found.

Error: Table Abilities not found.
Error: Table Abilities not found.
, such as
Error: Table Adventurers not found.
, should use a shared defensive skill to reduce the damage taken, though this is optional.
- Afterwards, if possible, heal it back up ASAP to restore HP conditional abilities.
  - Shared skills can help with further mitigation and/or healing.
You can't iframe it, however if you are a melee character then you can hold down Force Strike to not get knocked back.
- Sword-wielding adventurers can also attempt this sequence of actions: dodge roll towards High Brunhilda, attack twice, force strike, then attack five times without using a force strike. Due to knockback immunity between the third and fifth attack on the second string of attacks, they will also not be knocked back, and this also improves SP gain.
- Lance-wielding adventurers can also attack immediately, but make sure that the attack string is ongoing (restart the string if it's about to end at the fifth attack) and do not use a force strike; lances have natural knockback immunity that is strong enough to prevent movement from the opening blast's knockback while within the string of attacks. Alternately, hold a force strike only after the fifth attack has landed.
- Axe-wielding adventurers should just simply attack immediately without ever breaking the chain or force strike. Axes have natural knockback immunity that is strong enough to prevent movement from the opening blast's knockback.

Backdash + Fire Breath

High Brunhilda faces the closest adventurer and breathes fire in a 180-degree area, clockwise, starting from her left side. Skill or dodge.

Dodge towards the opposite direction of the breath's sweep, and you may have to dodge roll twice in a row to be completely safe.

The close-range baiter should take position afterward to bait High Brunhilda towards the top of the arena in preparation for "dive cancelling", described later.

Dash + Claw Swipe

High Brunhilda faces the closest adventurer, charges, and performs a claw swipe.

The long-range baiter should start going to the other edge of the arena, opposite of where High Brunhilda is right now (if you baited her to the top, the long-range baiter should now go to the bottom), if they wish to attempt "dive cancelling", described in the next section.

Crimson Inferno

High Brunhilda targets the furthest adventurer, and divebombs them, dealing severe damage to anyone caught in the explosion. This attack us unavoidable within the explosion area, and deals severe (likely fatal without strong defensive buffs) damage.

Dive Cancelling

Crimson Inferno in Expert difficulty and below have a maximum range. If the distance is too far apart between the target and High Brunhilda, High Brunhilda will instead just turn around and perform a claw swipe.

If the long-range baiter moves away to maximize distance between themselves and High Brunhilda, it is possible to perform the cancel intentionally, and it can improve DPS as High Brunhilda will not move a large distance.

All future instances of Crimson Infernos can also be "cancelled" in this way.

Volcanic Blitz

High Brunhilda summons four volcanoes - they'll appear on the adventurers' positions one by one, and also inflict burn on hit.

As they deal very little damage, it is possible for a
Error: Table Conditions not found.
to completely block their damage.
If a non-
Error: Table Abilities not found.
adventurer gets burned from one of the volcanoes, they cannot be burned again from the same chain of volcanoes. They can take advantage of this fact by intentionally overlapping the first volcano that can damage them, even if it doesn't belong to them, so that they get burned at the earliest opportunity, letting the burn relief healer fix it earlier than normal.
If the first volcano doesn't end up on the long-range baiter, try to trap High Brunhilda with strategically positioned volcanoes and baiting, though don't overlap them too much to prevent her from teleporting out due to collision issues.
- If High Brunhilda appears to be vibrating rapidly, the volcanoes are too close to her, and she might teleport when she performs moves.
Remember the order the volcanoes spawn, so that you don't get caught by a volcano disappearing on you later on.

High Brunhilda will try to keep you busy while the above attack is ongoing.

Crimson Inferno

Keep in mind that Crimson Inferno's range is cut short by any volcanoes in the path, if you decide not to perform "dive cancelling".

If the close-range baiter receives the second volcano marker, someone else should bait the next attack.

Fire Breath

The close-range baiter or the substitute baiter should bait this attack towards the edge of the arena. Failing that, skill or dodge the attack.

Hellfire

Unavoidable, severe mapwide damage that can only be blocked by having one of the volcanoes be in the path of the attack between the adventurer and High Brunhilda. Get behind a volcano and avoid excessive movement.

This will happen three more times; volcanoes will slowly disintegrate.

Dash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire + Backdash + Hellfire

The close-range baiter should try to keep High Brunhilda within the general area of the volcanoes, and preferably trap her.

Flame Chaser + Searing Pillar

High Brunhilda will spawn purple chaser markers on all adventurers; these markers are significantly larger than those in other Advanced Dragon Trials or Volk's Wrath. All adventurers should spread out as far as possible (usually to their four corners, either diagonally or top/right/bottom/left), and avoid overlapping other adventurers' with their markers to minimize damage taken.

Activate defensive buffs such as
Error: Table Adventurers not found.
's
Error: Table Skills not found.
Provident ProtectionLv. 1:
Error: Table Skills not found.
Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. before this attack lands.

Afterwards, High Brunhilda will then spawn a red stack marker targeted on the closest adventurer.

If the adventurer has a dragon ready, they should shapeshift now and dragon tank the stack marker.
If the adventurer doesn't have a dragon ready, all adventurers should get together and split the damage. A defensive healer can help with this.

Backdash + Fire Breath

Continue normal baiting (preferably towards a wall in preparation for the next attack).

Mini Meteors

High Brunhilda targets the closest adventurer, and spawns small meteors that hit them after a small windup that deals severe (likely fatal) damage. The close-range baiter should start moving all the way to the opposite edge of the arena to perform a "dive cancel" if desired.

Note that in this instance, the long-range baiter does not perform the "dive cancel".

Crimson Inferno

See previous instance for more information on "dive cancelling".

Grand Muspelheim

High Brunhilda flies off the map, and burns a significant portion of the map with lava, which causes severe (likely fatal) damage to anyone that gets caught in it.

If you are caught in it and end up losing all HP, once you're revived, leave the area ASAP! The revive action will grant you temporary true invincibility.
It is possible to cancel the entire attack by breaking High Brunhilda before she flies off the map, once the attack's text show up.

All adventurers should immediately go to the lower-right size, which will become a safe zone.

Once High Brunhilda finishes painting the map with lava, the adventurer with shapeshifting ready should try to get as close as possible to High Brunhilda, while the other adventurers stay as far as possible, so that the former baits the stack attack.

Some attacks that appear to have the adventurer not move actually move the adventurer slightly (e.g. the HDT wand and staff's weapon skills), which might send the adventurers to their doom should they use these skills too close to the edge of the lava. Backstep once before using them.

Searing Pillar + Flame Chaser

High Brunhilda reverses the order of attacks for this instance. After Searing Pillar hits, all adventurers should immediately spread out to their corners for the chasers.

Dash + Claw Swipe + Mini Meteors

Continue normal baiting (preferably towards a wall in preparation for the next attack).

Crimson Inferno

See first instance for more information on "dive cancelling".

The long-distance baiter should bait the next close-range attack.

Fire Breath + Backdash + Fire Breath

Continue normal baiting after Fire Breath.

Volcanic Blitz

Similar to previous instance, but the moves High Brunhilda uses will be slightly different, so pay attention to the volcanoes and their spawn order.

Dash + Claw Swipe + Hellfire + Backdash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire

Continue normal baiting, remembering to hide behind a volcano for the four Hellfires.

Flame Chaser + Searing Pillar

Identical to first instance.

Backdash + Fire Breath

Continue normal baiting.

Grand X-Muspelheim + Flame Chaser

High Brunhilda flies off the map, and burns nearly all of the map with lava, which causes severe (likely fatal) damage to anyone that gets caught in it. There are four safe zones, in each corner of the map; each player should make sure to indicate which corner "belongs" to them, whether by discussing in a pre-made room or by using the arrow stickers.

If you are caught in it and end up losing all HP, once you're revived, leave the area and head to an unoccupied safe zone ASAP! The revive action will grant you temporary true invincibility.

Four Flame Chasers will then spawn - this is why splitting up was important earlier. Use healing skills to cover any accidental damage beforehand, and defensive buffs to reduce the damage taken.

Searing Pillar

If the entire team is in bad shape and no shapeshifting was ready on anyone, the weakest DPS adventurer (usually a healer) should bait this attack and sacrifice themselves.

-* Any adventurer with {{AbilityText|Id=110120004}}, such as {{Icon|Adventurer|Halloween Lowen|size=32px|text=1}} with {{Icon|Wyrmprint|From Whence He Comes|size=32px|text=1}}, should use defensive skills such as {{SkillTooltip|Here's a treat for you!}} and {{SkillTooltip|You won't trick me!}} to reduce the damage taken, though it is entirely optional.
+* Any adventurer with {{AbilityText|Id=110120004}}, such as {{Icon|Adventurer|Hildegarde|size=32px|text=1}}, should use a [[Shared Skills|shared]] defensive skill to reduce the damage taken, though this is optional.
-** For Halloween Lowen and Grace, the order is important: use their second skills before their first skills, as the blast damage will clip the animation of the currently cast skill too early otherwise.
+** Afterwards, if possible, heal it back up ASAP to restore HP conditional abilities.
-** Afterwards, if possible, heal it back up ASAP to restore HP conditional abilities. You won't trick me! will provide {{Icon|Condition|HP Regen|size=24px|text=1}} healing, but one may opt to run other skills to make it go a bit faster.
 *** [[Shared Skills|Shared skills]] can help with further mitigation and/or healing.
 * You can't iframe it, however if you are a melee character then you can hold down Force Strike to not get knocked back.
-** Sword-wielding adventurers can also attempt this sequence of actions: dodge roll towards High Mercury, attack twice, force strike, then attack five times without using a force strike. Due to knockback immunity between the third and fifth attack on the second string of attacks, they will also not be knocked back, and this also improves SP gain.
+** Sword-wielding adventurers can also attempt this sequence of actions: dodge roll towards High Brunhilda, attack twice, force strike, then attack five times without using a force strike. Due to knockback immunity between the third and fifth attack on the second string of attacks, they will also not be knocked back, and this also improves SP gain.
-*** For {{Icon|Adventurer|Hunter Berserker|size=32px|text=1}}, dodge roll instead of force striking.
 ** Lance-wielding adventurers can also attack immediately, but make sure that the attack string is ongoing (restart the string if it's about to end at the fifth attack) and do not use a force strike; lances have natural knockback immunity that is strong enough to prevent movement from the opening blast's knockback while within the string of attacks. Alternately, hold a force strike only after the fifth attack has landed.
 ** Axe-wielding adventurers should just simply attack immediately without ever breaking the chain or force strike. Axes have natural knockback immunity that is strong enough to prevent movement from the opening blast's knockback.
-===Trident Tempest===
+===Backdash + Fire Breath===
-High Midgardsormr faces the closest adventurer and spits out three gales, in a cone pattern. This attack is unavoidable within the marker, and deals strong damage if physical contact is made. The close-range baiter should bait this away from the rest of the DPSes.
+High Brunhilda faces the closest adventurer and breathes fire in a 180-degree area, clockwise, starting from her left side. Skill or dodge.
-* Normally, adventurers should move away and avoid it, but with precise timing, some skills such as {{Icon|Adventurer|The Prince|size=32px|text=1}}'s {{SkillTooltip|Exalted Fire}} can let the adventurer physically dodge the hitboxes, if you have these skills ready, in later instances of Trident Tempest.
+* Dodge towards the opposite direction of the breath's sweep, and you may have to dodge roll twice in a row to be completely safe.
+The close-range baiter should take position afterward to bait High Brunhilda towards the '''top''' of the arena in preparation for "dive cancelling", described later.
+===Dash + Claw Swipe===
+High Brunhilda faces the closest adventurer, charges, and performs a claw swipe.
+* The long-range baiter should start going to the other edge of the arena, opposite of where High Brunhilda is right now (if you baited her to the top, the long-range baiter should now go to the '''bottom'''), if they wish to attempt "dive cancelling", described in the next section.
+===Crimson Inferno===
+High Brunhilda targets the furthest adventurer, and divebombs them, dealing severe damage to anyone caught in the explosion. This attack us unavoidable within the explosion area, and deals severe (likely fatal without strong defensive buffs) damage.
+====Dive Cancelling====
+Crimson Inferno in Expert difficulty and below have a maximum range. If the distance is too far apart between the target and High Brunhilda, High Brunhilda will instead just turn around and perform a claw swipe.
+If the long-range baiter moves away to maximize distance between themselves and High Brunhilda, it is possible to perform the cancel intentionally, and it can improve DPS as High Brunhilda will not move a large distance.
+* All future instances of Crimson Infernos can also be "cancelled" in this way.
-The close-range baiter should take position afterward to bait High Midgardsormr towards the '''middle''' of the arena, so that there's space for movement later on.
+===Volcanic Blitz===
+High Brunhilda summons four volcanoes - they'll appear on the adventurers' positions one by one, and also inflict burn on hit.
+* As they deal very little damage, it is possible for a {{Icon|Condition|Shield|size=24px|text=1}} to completely block their damage.
+* If a non-{{Icon|Ability|Burn Res +100%|size=24px|text=1}} adventurer gets burned from one of the volcanoes, they cannot be burned again from the same chain of volcanoes. They can take advantage of this fact by intentionally overlapping the first volcano that can damage them, even if it doesn't belong to them, so that they get burned at the earliest opportunity, letting the burn relief healer fix it earlier than normal.
+* If the first volcano doesn't end up on the long-range baiter, try to trap High Brunhilda with strategically positioned volcanoes and baiting, though don't overlap them too much to prevent her from teleporting out due to collision issues.
+** If High Brunhilda appears to be vibrating rapidly, the volcanoes are too close to her, and she might teleport when she performs moves.
+* Remember the order the volcanoes spawn, so that you don't get caught by a volcano disappearing on you later on.
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Backdash===
+High Brunhilda will try to keep you busy while the above attack is ongoing.
-High Midgardsormr faces the closest adventurer, charges, performs a spin attack, and backdashes.
-* The charge and the spin attack has a chance to inflict {{Icon|Affliction|Stun|size=24px|text=1}}.
-* Sometimes, High Midgardsormr will perform an uppercut instead of a spin attack.
-* If you dodge roll the spin attack for iframes, you may need to dodge roll twice in a row, as the roll's iframes are not quite long enough to cover the entire attack.
-===Spits x3===
+===Crimson Inferno===
-High Midgardsormr faces the closest adventurer (see a pattern here?), and spits towards them three times. The close-range baiter should skill or dodge them, making sure to bait them away from the rest of the DPSes.
+Keep in mind that Crimson Inferno's range is cut short by any volcanoes in the path, if you decide not to perform "dive cancelling".
-* These spits will linger on the battlefield for a while, causing damage to anyone caught in them. It is possible to safely move through these mini tornadoes with dodge rolls, if desired.
-* If High Midgardsormr was baited too close to a wall, it might get tricky to bait the spits without getting hurt.
-===Trident Tempest (8-Way)===
+* If the close-range baiter receives the second volcano marker, someone else should bait the next attack.
-This variant of Trident Tempest sweeps an entire circle and also deals much higher damage than the normal variant. Avoid lingering in the purple action markers.
-* High Midgardsormr will always call out this attack with "I shall rend you asunder!"
-===Tattered Sky + Storm Chaser===
+===Fire Breath===
-High Midgardsormr will spawn a red stack marker targeted on the closest adventurer.
+The close-range baiter or the substitute baiter should bait this attack towards the edge of the arena. Failing that, skill or dodge the attack.
-* If the adventurer has a dragon ready, they should shapeshift now and dragon tank the stack marker.
-* If the adventurer doesn't have a dragon ready, all adventurers should get together and split the damage. A defensive healer can help with this.
-* Healers with only {{Icon|Condition|HP Regen|size=24px|text=1}} healing skills ready should activate them now so that the healing can cover all adventurers for the next attack.
-Afterwards, High Midgardsormr will then spawn purple chaser markers on all adventurers. Avoid overlapping other adventurers' with their markers to minimize damage taken.
+===Hellfire===
-* A sufficiently large {{Icon|Condition|Shield|size=24px|text=1}} or {{Icon|Condition|Life Shield|size=24px|text=1}} can block its damage entirely.
+Unavoidable, severe mapwide damage that can only be blocked by having one of the volcanoes be in the path of the attack between the adventurer and High Brunhilda. Get behind a volcano and avoid excessive movement.
+* This will happen three more times; volcanoes will slowly disintegrate.
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Spits x3 + Backdash + Trident Tempest===
+===Dash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire + Backdash + Hellfire===
-Continue normal baiting, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall.
+The close-range baiter should try to keep High Brunhilda within the general area of the volcanoes, and preferably trap her.
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Spits x3 + Trident Tempest (8-way) + Dash + Spin Attack===
+===Flame Chaser + Searing Pillar===
-Continue normal baiting, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall. Avoid lingering within the purple action markers.
+High Brunhilda will spawn purple chaser markers on all adventurers; these markers are significantly larger than those in other Advanced Dragon Trials or [[Volk's Wrath]]. All adventurers should spread out as far as possible (usually to their four corners, either diagonally or top/right/bottom/left), and avoid overlapping other adventurers' with their markers to minimize damage taken.
+* Activate defensive buffs such as {{Icon|Adventurer|Jiang Ziya|size=24px|text=1}}'s {{SkillTooltip|Provident Protection}} before this attack lands.
-===Summon Help===
+Afterwards, High Brunhilda will then spawn a red stack marker targeted on the closest adventurer.
-High Midgardsormr summons some golems to help him out. Defeat them ASAP, especially the big one - he is the source of the giant map-wide purple action marker, and if it fills up, it will deal damage strong enough to wipe out the entire team, using up a revive. High Midgardsormr will also try to keep you busy; see the following section for his attacks.
+* If the adventurer has a dragon ready, they should shapeshift now and dragon tank the stack marker.
+* If the adventurer doesn't have a dragon ready, all adventurers should get together and split the damage. A defensive healer can help with this.
-* ''Most compositions with at least Chimeratech or HDT1 weapons as of writing should clear Expert difficulty by this point due to the general power levels of current adventurers.''
+===Backdash + Fire Breath===
-** ''Further moves will be listed for reference, though the later moves are unlikely to be seen in the average run now.''
+Continue normal baiting (preferably towards a wall in preparation for the next attack).
-===Spits x3 + Dash + Spin Attack + Backdash + Trident Tempest===
+===Mini Meteors===
-The battlefield can get a bit confusing to read due to the additional enemies and red action markers, but the close range baiter should try their best to bait the attacks away from the rest of the group.
+High Brunhilda targets the closest adventurer, and spawns small meteors that hit them after a small windup that deals severe (likely fatal) damage. The close-range baiter should start moving all the way to the opposite edge of the arena to perform a "dive cancel" if desired.
+* Note that in this instance, the long-range baiter '''does not''' perform the "dive cancel".
-The golems should be defeated by the time High Midgardsormr finishes the above chain of attacks.
+===Crimson Inferno===
+See previous instance for more information on "dive cancelling".
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Trident Tempest (8-way) + Spits x3 + Backdash===
+===Grand Muspelheim===
-Continue normal baiting, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall. Avoid lingering within the purple action markers.
+High Brunhilda flies off the map, and burns a significant portion of the map with lava, which causes severe (likely fatal) damage to anyone that gets caught in it.
-* The close-range baiter will have to quickly make it back to High Midgardsormr once the 8-way attack launches past them to bait the spits away.
+* If you are caught in it and end up losing all HP, once you're revived, leave the area ASAP! The revive action will grant you temporary true invincibility.
+* It is possible to cancel the entire attack by breaking High Brunhilda before she flies off the map, once the attack's text show up.
-After High Midgardsormr backdashes here, everyone should return to the center of the map in preparation of the next attack.
+All adventurers should immediately go to the lower-right size, which will become a safe zone.
-===Gale Blast===
+Once High Brunhilda finishes painting the map with lava, the adventurer with shapeshifting ready should try to get as close as possible to High Brunhilda, while the other adventurers stay as far as possible, so that the former baits the stack attack.
-High Midgardsormr will spawn four very large tornadoes across the top of the map. These tornadoes will move across the map, starting from the tornado with dust clouds underneath.
+* Some attacks that appear to have the adventurer not move actually move the adventurer slightly (e.g. the HDT wand and staff's weapon skills), which might send the adventurers to their doom should they use these skills too close to the edge of the lava. Backstep once before using them.
-At Expert difficulty and lower, there are three methods of dealing with these tornadoes.
+===Searing Pillar + Flame Chaser===
-* The old method is to go under the tornado with the dust clouds, and move upwards around the map as the tornadoes launch.
+High Brunhilda reverses the order of attacks for this instance. After Searing Pillar hits, all adventurers should immediately spread out to their corners for the chasers.
-* It is possible to dodge roll consecutively while passing through these tornadoes, taking advantage of the dodge roll's iframes.
-** This tactic is not possible in Master difficulty, so you may have to "unlearn" it in that fight once you plan to clear that difficulty.
-* If shapeshifting is available, it is also possible to dragon tank the tornadoes.
-** In Expert difficulty and lower, dragon tanking with a skill will not decrease dragon time, as it is not an unavoidable attack.
-High Midgardsormr will also try to keep you busy while you avoid the tornadoes.
+===Dash + Claw Swipe + Mini Meteors===
+Continue normal baiting (preferably towards a wall in preparation for the next attack).
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Backdash + Spits x3 + Trident Tempest (8-way)===
+===Crimson Inferno===
-Continue normal baiting once all tornadoes have passed, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall. Avoid lingering within the purple action markers.
+See first instance for more information on "dive cancelling".
+* The long-distance baiter should bait the next close-range attack.
-* ''Nearly all compositions with at least Void Bane weapons as of writing should clear Expert difficulty by this point due to the general power levels of current adventurers.''
+===Fire Breath + Backdash + Fire Breath===
-** ''Further moves will be listed for reference, though the later moves are extremely unlikely to be seen in the average run now.''
+Continue normal baiting after Fire Breath.
-===Tattered Sky + Storm Chaser + Trident Tempest===
+===Volcanic Blitz===
-Identical to previous instance, but High Midgardsormr will immediately follow up with a Trident Tempest, so the close-range baiter must not be separated from him.
+Similar to previous instance, but the moves High Brunhilda uses will be slightly different, so pay attention to the volcanoes and their spawn order.
-===Dash + Spin Attack===
+===Dash + Claw Swipe + Hellfire + Backdash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire + Dash + Hellfire===
-Continue normal baiting. Be prepared for Gale Blast and Tattered Sky combo.
+Continue normal baiting, remembering to hide behind a volcano for the four Hellfires.
-===Gale Blast + Tattered Sky + Storm Chaser===
+===Flame Chaser + Searing Pillar===
-Both Gale Blast's tornadoes and Tattered Sky's stack marker will appear at the same time.
+Identical to first instance.
-* This is a very good time for the targeted to dragon tank, move to someplace safe (not affecting other adventurers), and use a skill to tank it.
-===Spits x3 + Trident Tempest (8-way) + Dash + Spin Attack + Trident Tempest (8-way)===
+===Backdash + Fire Breath===
-Continue normal baiting, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall. Avoid lingering within the purple action markers.
+Continue normal baiting.
-===Storm Chaser + Tattered Sky===
+===Grand X-Muspelheim + Flame Chaser===
-High Midgardsormr reverses the attack order for this combo of attacks.
+High Brunhilda flies off the map, and burns nearly all of the map with lava, which causes severe (likely fatal) damage to anyone that gets caught in it. There are four safe zones, in each corner of the map; each player should make sure to indicate which corner "belongs" to them, whether by discussing in a pre-made room or by using the arrow stickers.
+* If you are caught in it and end up losing all HP, once you're revived, leave the area and head to an unoccupied safe zone ASAP! The revive action will grant you temporary true invincibility.
-===Dash + Spin Attack + Trident Tempest + Backdash + Spits x3===
+Four Flame Chasers will then spawn - this is why splitting up was important earlier. Use healing skills to cover any accidental damage beforehand, and defensive buffs to reduce the damage taken.
-Continue normal baiting, making sure to never bait High Midgardsormr too close to a wall.
-''By this point, High Midgardsormr should be defeated in Expert difficulty if you had the minimum recommended equipment, even with poor DPS uptime.''
+===Searing Pillar===
-* ''The quest likely ends much earlier if your equipment was significantly better than the minimum requirement.''
+* If the entire team is in bad shape and no shapeshifting was ready on anyone, the weakest DPS adventurer (usually a healer) should bait this attack and sacrifice themselves.
-* ''This was originally the point where your quest would be subject to a failure by the quest timer running out, and it was a real risk back when High Midgardsormr's Trial was first released.''
-** ''This guide includes the entire moveset for the first five minutes of the quest as a reference.''
