Damaged Adjudicator
The first boss of the Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard) is the Damaged Adjudicator, reprising its role as the final boss from the normal version of this dungeon, but with a few twists.
The Damaged Adjudicator is separated into four parts, theHead, Arm, Tail, and main body. The body itself takesvery little damage, so you’ll need tofocus on attacking the Head, Arm or Tailinstead.
The body part you should attack isindicated by the glowing red orbthat appears on itwhen the boss first forms. Attack this part to cause the Adjudicator to crumble, at which point severalRuins Crawleradds will appear. Repeat this process until the boss reforms without any of its body parts, then attack its main body to defeat it for good.
Throughout the fight, the Damaged Adjudicator will use the following attacks.
Sandblast

These enemies are summoned periodically throughout the fight. They don’t have any notable attacks, but should be dealt with quickly.
Sabotender Guardia
This enemy willtether itself to the boss, protecting it from all damage. The boss will then begin casting 100,000 Needles again. Quickly defeat the Guardia, then damage the boss to stop it from casting 100,000 Needles.
Sabotender Emperatriz will repeat these mechanics until it is defeated. 100,000 Needles is an instant one-shot, but it has avery long cast time, giving you more than enough time to cancel it. Other than that, this fight is fairly straightforward.

Throughout the fight,groups of sarcophagiwill appear around the edges of the arena, which will then summonMummies that rush forward. If you are touched by one of these Mummies, you will be inflicted withone stack of the Curse of the Mummy.
If you manage to getfour stacks of this debuff, you will bethrown into a sarcophagus yourself, and thenturned into a Mummy, forcing you to run in a straight line whilepreventing you from taking actionfor a while.
Keep an eye on the edges of the arena as you fight the boss so that you aren’t turned into a Mummy.

One player will be marked, pulled to the boss, then tethered.This tether will repeatedly inflict the Curse of the Mummy debuff. The tether can bebroken by stunning the boss, but be sure to do this as quickly as possible to save the target from being turned into a Mummy.
The Vicegerent to the Warden will repeat these mechanics until it is defeated. The main thing to watch out for during this fight isn’t necessarily the boss itself, but therows of sarcophagithat are summoned. If you can avoid all of these, this fight will be a breeze.
