M12S - The Lindwurm

This is the intro of the first phase of M12S. For phase two, check out part 2 of this fight.

Game8 follows nukemaru, which very closely resembles how Mana did week 1 in PF, with some very minor tweaks:

At Mortal Slayer, the tank and ranged players that flexes to the other side will always have the lowest priority by default.
- This rule also applies to tanks, which is slightly different to how Toxic Friends approaches this.
Grotesquerie: Act 1 has the party walk on the ring of the boss's hitbox instead of walking under the boss.
Grotesquerie: Act 2 is done as intended.
- JP has tried Alice's braindead strategy during week 1, but this was quickly abandoned, with the original source being deleted, after players have realized that this isn't braindead at all.
Grotesquerie: Act 3 has a few minor differences compared to Toxic Friends:
- For towers in the 十 pattern, game8 has the players on the N/S platform adjust left/right, instead of up/down.
- Game8 does the invuln strategy as well for the tankbuster into spread, but they have the healers in the middle instead.
Grotesquerie: Curtain Call's mariokart in the X pattern starts at the northwest corner.
- The guide in Nukemaru does not accurately reflect how JP PFs do the mariokart, they will start closer, at max melee range, because they also want their uptime.
- This is very prone to accidents in PF because of people not following the expected movements, so be careful if you've never done game8 before.

General notes:

The boss will auto attack two players with the highest enmity, which means that both tanks should always have their stance up at all times.
- If any of the tanks ever died, then make sure to provoke asap while the healer keeps an eye on whoever is the 2nd aggro.
Keep in mind that The Fixer hits absurdly hard, which ironically also serves as a good tutorial to newer players who are still new to mitigations.
- Make it a habit to be utilizing your mitigations to their fullest, because people will really die instantly if you do not contribute to the cause.
The resolution of Grotesquerie: Act 3 requires both tanks to have their invuln up, which means you cannot use your invuln anywhere else in this fight.
This fight lasts around 7 minutes, which means your pot windows should be at 0 and 6 minutes.
