Golcano

Golcano is a multi-phase boss in Farever built around fire mechanics and add management. Like other bosses, it cannot simply be out-damaged from start to finish; the fight asks you to handle its mechanics in the right order, which makes it a strong test of coordination for a group.

The Fight

The defining mechanic of the Golcano encounter is its fire shield. Interrupting the fire shield is central to the fight, and how you handle it affects the rest of the encounter, including the adds Golcano brings into the arena.

Golcano summons smaller enemies called Golcanitos. These adds explode, so they cannot be ignored: leaving them alive lets their explosions catch your group, and they tie into the fire shield mechanic. Dealing with the Golcanitos at the right moments, rather than letting them pile up, is a key part of surviving and winning the fight.

• Multi-phase: the fight shifts as Golcano's health drops.

• Fire shield: a protective mechanic you need to interrupt during the encounter.

• Golcanito adds: summoned enemies that explode and must be managed alongside the fire shield.

When fought as a group, Golcano uses a scaled health bar so the challenge holds up across party sizes. For the broader instance and boss design, see Dungeons and Instances and Bosses.
