Silkie - Fresh Puff 2
After the raidwide, Silkie will now either coat its own tail with ice or wind. This is followed up by another cast of Fresh Puff, which will summon four puffs that are either placed cardinally or intercardinally.
Fresh Puff 2
Four puffs, two ice and two lightning, will drop on each cardinal or intercardinal positions of the arena. Each of these puffs will randomly tether to one player and after a set time, the puffs will leap a set distance (two tiles) towards the direction of the player it is tethered to. Once the puffs have leaped, the boss will cast Soaping Spree to resolve its tails and all the puffs. Thus, your goal as a party is to move the puffs in a way that allows your party to dodge the attacks.
There are 8 possible combinations, but instead of trying to remember each and every one of the combinations, here are some very simple rules you can use to consistently resolve all of them:
- Lightning puffs always goes away from the center towards the wall, there are no exceptions.
- Ice puffs movements are determined by the element on Silkie's tail:
- Ice: Follow the same rules as lightning, move it to the respective wall/corner.
- Wind: Do not move it directly to its respective wall/corner, but you can do anything else instead as long as the ice does not hit the safe zone in the center.
- Stay away from the same diagonal corner as where the ice puff started in case Silkie's tail is ice as well.
Try to start around the middle of the arena, as the puff you will get tethered to is completely random. If needed, pop your sprint as you will likely not need it until the last mechanic of this boss.

Below are some examples to give you an idea as to what to expect.

|---|---|
| A mistake was made by the other ice puff player. Can you spot it? | The wind patterns are considerably easier. |
Once the puffs are resolved, Silkie will now either use Fizzling Suds or Bracing Suds, which is followed up by Slippery Soap. Identify which one Silkie casts, and resolve the stack and the underlying mechanic once you know whether its lightning or wind.
