Phases

Acid Phase

If you are targeted by this make sure you turn run offand walk constantly otherwise every tick you will take 4-6 damage, or if you are comfortable use the CTRL + Click feature that allows you to walk with run on!

 

Crystal Phase

If olm fires a crystal bomb on the floor near you, make sure you are at least 4 tiles away from it to avoid damage!

Falling Crystals, there are 2 types of falling crystals one where you have a red portal mark around you, can be avoided similarly to the acid attack. (edited)

The other Crystal attack is only between Olm phases where olm will randomly make crystal fall from the sky, to avoid this look out for shadows on the floor and move 2 tiles away.

 

Flame Phase

If Olm burns you or a team mate it will be indicated by a "Burn With Me" text above the players head, to avoid this stay at least 1 tile away from the burning player!

If trapped by the Flame wall use any water spell to escape, unless using ancient or lunar spells make sure you have the lowest spell possible as if you are brewed down it will stop you from escaping, humidify and ice barrage also work on the wall!

 

Head Phase

On the head phase, Switch to ranged and start killing the head. (edited)

On this phase olm will make crystals fall randomly for the entire time, avoid them as normal. (edited)

Olm will spawn blue pools which heal him, to avoid the healing stand on them. (edited)

if you are in a 1-3 man raid you only have to stand on the pools for a few ticks but if in 4+ stand on them until they start to disappear.
