__________________________________________________________________________________
One of 4 bosses that have been updated in episode 10, Bwijekeulroseu is second boss you will meet in story. Bwijekeulroseu looks like he has lion’s mane with ice and as you expect, Bwijekeulroseu’s main weapon is ice.
Knowing how to use sharp chunk of ice that created by Bwijekeulroseu, and Karok’s Clash with ice, its truly faithful to its concept ‘Cold’ and ‘ice’.
As you expect from a top-tier raids Bwijekeulroseu has high HP, and pattern.
Bwijekeulroseu’s reputation is at least easiest boss in Episode10, however if you think of him lightly, you will rethink meaning of word ‘At least’.
Unlikely the Zigrint who use chain-electric, Bwijekeulroseu is safer with managing HP, however with constant attack from Bwijekeulroseu, it’s harder to find the right time to attack.
Because of that, unexpectedly sometime battle takes long time, and trying to attack him by force at bad time makes it worst for longer battle since you will already have used a lot of potions and feathers.
With this guide we will look in to Bwijekeulroseu’s patterns attack, his range and how to go defense against,
Also we will look in to how to use chunk of ice and what it does to help the battle.

Bwijekeulroseu Fight Information[/SIZE]

Normal raid and Knights raid available
_________________________________________________________________________________
There are two types of Bwijekeulroseu raid. One is normal raid and the other is Knights raid, but they have the same drops.
Normal raid is just like other raids, one successful run per day, 8man party of lv 60~70s.
Knights raid is 3 successful runs per week, party of 24 people with 8 level 40~59s, and 16 lv60~70s.
Dragon’s Chilly Air (that’s right, I can’t think of any fancy word.)
_________________________________________________________________________________
If player is attacked by any kind of ‘chilly air’, player freeze in to ice for 5second, for this 5second player doesn’t take any damage like Mana Amber.
However soon as freeze breaks, while player is in motion of standing up, player becomes defenseless, and depend on situation player won’t be able to get out of Bwijekeulroseu attack.
This freeze breaks when another players attacks and breaks for them,
If players around are in danger that they have to un-freeze the frozen player
Means that player that is breaking the ice is in danger also, and won’t be able help.
If you chose to go with Knights Raid, be aware that ‘Dragon's Chilly Air' will last extremely long, so it's crucial that someone rescues people who have been frozen.

Bwijekeulroseu’s Pattern
[/SIZE]
Tail Whip
_________________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;R6T9BVzAkNc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R6T9BVzAkNc[/video]
This pattern leaves Bwijekeulroseu with a lot gap and chance to attack.
Bwijekeulroseu smash the ground with his tail and wipes around that this pattern have very long range, it takes long time for him to be ready and easily detected by its howls.
Can easily dodge, or defense and the attack takes long time considering other move, its very good time to attack or drink potions.
Range of this pattern is where ever the tail goes (or wipes..) and also he wipes with his back legs very fast, and if you get hit by that leg, you will take the damage.
However its not all back leg gives damage, and player can attack Bwijekeulroseu’s back leg toe nail with out taking any damage from tail whip.

[/SPOILER]
Charge
________________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;h493uIjD6q8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h493uIjD6q8&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Charging right into the players that are in front, it consider as fast move, however motion is big that its easily detectable so it gives some time to take action.
For Bwijekeulroseu to charge, the front leg’s position change so its easy to determined the charge even when your attacking right in front of Bwijekeulroseu’s leg.
If charge comes towards you, depend on your position, Bwijekeulroseu’s head, front legs to back legs, it attacks 2 ~ 3 time, and player still can take the hit from side of his leg while he is in charge motion.
Since the part that player usually attacks (legs) becomes the weapon, its better off not attacking him when he is in Charge motion.

Front Leg Smash
_______________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;DLxhH-WeQDE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DLxhH-WeQDE[/video]
Smashing with right leg with big ice nails is undefensible attack.
However the range of ‘undefensible’ is limited that if you just go into the range of actual nail, the attack becomes defensible.
Ice nail’s range is very long, Bwijekeulroseu’s right front side becomes danger zone by ice nail, also Bwijekeulroseu swaps with one leg charging, that if player were charged by his body, player will take the damage.
Its very similar to Charging motion that its hard to defined under Bwijekeulroseu’s legs, but its same way to dodge/defense as Charge as long as players are out of the range ice nail.

[/SPOILER]
Round Ice Wall
_____________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;nllSn_F1hNo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nllSn_F1hNo[/video]
With Bwijekeulroseu’s howl, creates big ice wall that covers up Bwijekeulroseu
And creates after-mess that destroys all ice, considering its big range this move is quite fast.
It has large range that it shells off the players that are in range of attacking Bwijekeulroseu.
First of all, player cant defense against the ice wall.
If players stay very close and stick on Bwijekeulroseu ice wall will not be the problem for them.
However after-mess damage inside of the ice wall and outside of ice wall, other than to attack, its good to prepare for after-mess.
When Bwijekeulroseu starts to use R Ice wall, tail of Bwijekeulroseu starts to shake and damaging the player, that player should think before going for attack.

Jump and Lock Up
____________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;ZhgwYq5Jh3c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZhgwYq5Jh3c[/video]
Unlikely any other air pattern, Bwijekeulroseu flies off fast, and by using ice it locks up a player, and landing right after.
This pattern locks up “ONE†player, and if that player that is going to be locked up stays where they were, it doesn’t take any damage from dropping ice.
Not only ice that locks up a player has large range, large chunk of ice drops with them. Any player in Range is going to takes the damage from both.
This ice wall ‘explode’ after few second, and the explosion is not defensible, also explosion’s damage will increase depend on how many ice there is.
Dropping ice and exploding ices are not defensible, therefore do not try to stay alive by using survival mechanism in lock up situation, but escape the lock up by destroying the ice ( See the video, when Fiona gets locked up, she starts to attack the ice wall and escape fast as she can, see 00:15)
These ice walls are easily break, so its very easy to break through, plus you gain Ice fragment that does tons of damage to Bwijekeulroseu

Forward Breath
___________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;DnWByLP2qnA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DnWByLP2qnA[/video]
Bwijekeulroseu shout Chilly breath to front.
When Bwijekeulroseu sharts Forward Breath, he steps back,
Whenever he steps back predicting its Forward Breath is always a good idea.
Forward Breath triggers “Dragon’s Chilly Airâ€

[/SPOILER]
Side Breath
____________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
[video=youtube;2Ge8cmVvAWQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ge8cmVvAWQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inven.co%20.kr%2Fboard%2Fpowerb%20bs.php%3Fcome_idx%3D2027%26l%3D479&feature=player_%20embedded[/video]
Bwijekeulroseu use this pattern to attack either right side or left side of him.
He doesn’t step back like he did with Forward Breath, so its good chance to attack if your not in range of his breath.
Bwijekeulroseu turns his head aside and lift his front body a little, sometime Bwijekeulroseu’s front leg gives out some damage. Players that are in front of his front leg should be careful.
Even if Bwijekeulroseu shout toward you, you can escape to inside of his leg.
Side Breath triggers “Dragon’s Chilly Air

Bullet-type Breath
____________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;OPgCjWQ01ZU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OPgCjWQ01ZU[/video]
You can't defense Bwijekeulroseu’s bullet-type breath unlike other dragons, so you must dodge it.
It has a little homing ability, but it is fairly easy to dodge.
Bwijekeulroseu will shoot out his breath when he hit the ground with his upper body. His upper body has hit boxes, so you will take damage if you are hit by his body. But Bwijekeulroseu body is blockable, so it's easy to deal with. Since he only lifts his upper part of his body, you can also move to his hind legs for cover.
This pattern triggers 'Dragon's Chilly Air'

[/SPOILER]
Ice Meteor
____________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;PX99_BalrJU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PX99_BalrJU[/video]
If he roars looking up into the skies, he will shoot out chill-spheres.
These spheres are undefendable, so you will have to dodge. This pattern is similar to Elkulus' ground meteor, but it's homing ability is better, hence making this pattern harder to dodge.
Now here's how to dodge it: align yourself in a straight line with the chill-sphere. Then, repeatedly hit 'sprint' button. This method makes your movement faster than normal sprint, but consumes more stamina.
Now draw an U while doing that, and you should be able to DODGE it. Be aware that you will get hit regardless of what you do if you are too close to him.
It's extremely hard to dodge his chill-meteor, so be sure to keep your HP up
This pattern triggers 'Dragon's Chilly Air'
Bwijekeulroseu’s cocoball dodging tricks. (yep that’s what he called, Cocoball.)

Ice Barricade
___________________________________________________________________________
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;3KjzOOCVheY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3KjzOOCVheY[/video]
This patter differs greatly from 'Jump and lock up' pattern.
He flies up high, revolves around the map for some time. He then divides the map into two area with an ice barricade. One side of the barricade will then be hit by an undefendable attack. But you can just simply crack the ice and move to the other side so it's relatively easy to dodge.
The barricade is hard for a single player to break, so people usually gather at the middle and break the barricade altogether. You can get ice fragment when you break the barricade, but you can get hit by his attack if you are wondering around in the middle, so don't pick up the ice if his attack is imminent.
After his ice barricade pattern, he will land around the middle and it is very likely for him to use tail whip afterwards.

Usage of Ice Fragment
[/SIZE]
[SPOILER="Spoiler"][video=youtube;xaErTxAusoo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xaErTxAusoo[/video]
Destroying ice and obtaining ice fragment and throwing the ice to his face (IN DA FACE!) gives large amount of damage to Bwijekeulroseu and gives stuns.
Ice Fragment will be stuck in Bwijekeulroseu head for 30second and for time being, he will not fly, or use meteor or Round Ice wall.
But he will howl that does nothing, the battle becomes very easy.
Also, while Ice fragment is in his head (30second) and players does limited amount of damage Bwijekeulroseu will fall down when Ice Fragment disappears.
Normally Bwijekeulroseu falls down because attack went smoothly, its normal for him to fall when players are attacking, giving even more chance for players to attack.
If players didn’t give the enough damage to Bwijekeulroseu while Ice fragment is in action, he only drops his head with motion of tiredness, however that’s it.
Ice Fragment throws like Spear, however Evies pick up the Ice Fragment like normal other object that when Evie throws the Ice Fragment, it does not do anything.

One minute Important Point
[/SIZE]
[Image: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9220/roysmfin.jpg]
Good Timing to Drink Potions:
- Other than Ice Meteor and Bolt-shaped breath pattern, its only around Bwijekeulroseu.
- To drink potions player should stay away from Bwijekeulroseu.
Chance to gain Ice Fragment:
- Jump and Lock Up
- Ice Barricade
Give away the Ice Fragment:
Evies using Ice Fragment does nothing, and even if you can, will be bloody hard to do it with Evies.
So do give away the Ice Fragment to Lann, Karok, Fiona.
