Roselle's Raid Gives Eight Lord of Mysteries Players a Number and a Job

The official Emperor Returns briefing explains number puzzles, tank swaps and shield removal for the 12-player raid scheduled for October 2.

Eight players in Lord of Mysteries’ new Roselle raid will spend the fight answering to numbers. The boss drops eight of them into the arena at the start, and eight members of the 12-player team must catch them. Leave more than two on the floor and the developers warn of a raid wipe.

The official September 30 briefing explains how the maths in 大帝重临 (Emperor Returns) works ahead of its scheduled October 2 opening on the Chinese service. Our earlier preview covered the two forms of Roselle and announced equipment rewards. Its demonstrations were recorded on an internal server, so the final live version can differ.

Catch a number, then solve the floor puzzle

The first phase pits the team against 罗塞尔的残留意志 (Roselle’s residual will). Players who catch the falling numbers become one through eight for the mechanics that follow.

During 机械迷局 (Mechanical Puzzle), the game checks the sum of the numbers inside each puzzle area after a delay. The official example has targets of nine and eight. Players two and seven solve nine; players three and five solve eight. A wrong answer causes arena-wide damage, described in the briefing as another wipe mechanic.

Those numbers also control shield removal. Roselle summons a shield with high damage reduction and a clone that charges at players one through eight in order. Each charge must pass through the shield to remove layers. The group’s numbered players need to position for that path when their turn comes.

Tanks and healers have separate work

Roselle knocks his current target into the air and applies 大脑宕机, translated here as Brain Shutdown. It sharply increases the damage that target takes from his normal attacks and reduces incoming healing. The briefing tells the second tank to taunt immediately, before the first tank lands.

Another mechanic summons eight password devices and a console. Someone must interact with the console to reveal the codes and their correct positions, then the team must enter all the codes to end the mechanic. The official post suggests a healer for the console job, while the numbered players handle the devices.

Roselle can also release a burst of knowledge after charging. Players facing him are blinded and stunned. Turn away for the burst, even if it interrupts an attack.

Use Roselle’s attacks to clear the gears

Marked players produce gear launchers after an area hit. The launchers keep generating gears, and the briefing recommends placing them together so the team can clear them with area attacks.

A later attack gives marked players a fan-shaped damage area. Gears caught inside that area are removed. Roselle recovers any gears left behind and deals arena-wide damage, so the marked players need to aim across the remaining gears.

Phase two, 罗塞尔的污染意志 (Roselle’s corrupted will), retains those mechanics and adds number-changing orbs. Players collect +1 and -1 orbs to adjust their own numbers for two more floor puzzles. Count the number after each pickup before taking a place in a puzzle area.
