I was watching that video of that Mercedes soloing PB in 37 minutes when I realized I have no idea how most "big bosses" work besides Zak since I've actually gone to Zak before. What parts are there to each boss and what do they do? =/

Perhaps this could be of service.

I know you don't do your own personal type of extractions but that thread is wrong and outdated.

That thread helped me with my silly low level Zak solos.
At first I had no idea which arm was casting Defense Up v.v

It's still the only reference non-extractors have, like me and OP. I too wish fiel would update it. Maybe posting it here will help with that.

pretty much how most bosses work :/
Also, Empress is quite a peach with auto aggro working.

I think they mean they already understand how Zak works, so they don't need an explanation on that.

Guess I'll take the time to do this.
HT: Do quests (if you're going to solo it'd be a good idea to do the 'Mark of the Squad Member' quest since it'll take you into the main room), sign, summon the left head, kill, summon right, kill, get into main room and kill each part. Legs > Tail > Wings. How you want to divvy up the arms/heads is your/the squad's choice, I guess.
CHT: See above. Zombify/Damage & Magic Reflect/Stun from middle head make it a little tougher, but nothing too unbearable. I think I missed something.
PB: Uh. From what I can remember, kill statues twice each, then kill The Bean.
Empress: Stuff.
tl;dr

Yes, that wonderful skill that cannot be applied until 40 seconds after it is originally cast, making it impossible to perma-crash bosses with 3 heroes, if I recall correctly.

Well i have no experice with empress or PB so ill leave those out. But on Ht i crash the tail occonally (just cause) But i do crash zakum arms with the regular Def buff is up. I think it adds like +10% or +20% pdr.

also, crash is good to get the avoid buff out of irena, power up from mihile/hawkeye, and for the defense arm of zakum

Tail doesn't do anything and zak arms are pretty inconsequential. I think the wings buff HT so i guess you could crash that. You should be attacking all parts at once now anyway.

Oh, that's Legend?
Hm.
Got confused.
Could have sworn it was Ascension.
Oh well, give it a couple months.

Side heads (not preheads) have reflect also.
