Introduction
This written guide will briefly go over Veteran Shipwright's Regret and its three Hard Mode mechanics available on veteran mode to players along with the locations and buffs of the "secret" bosses in this Ascending Tide DLC dungeon.
Foreman Bradiggan
Foreman Bradiggan is a Wraith boss that sends out massive AoEs throughout the fight while summoning adds called "Harrowing Haunters" that debuff your group's damage, resistances and healing.
Bradiggan will periodically turn into a Flesh Abomination while afflicting all four group members with AoEs that cannot overlap on top of other players. Group members must kill the Flesh Abomination to revert Bradiggan back to wraith form.
After the first Flesh Abomination stage, Bradiggan will randomly target one player with a growing AoE that another player must stand in in order for the targeted player to not die.
During execute phase, Bradiggan will target TWO random players with the same growing AoE whereupon both players NOT afflicted with the AoE must decide which player they're separately going to and go into the two AoEs to save the other two players.
Nazaray
Nazaray is a unique bi-pedal Spriggan boss who summons both adds and AoEs throughout the entirety of the fight. Nazaray also does heavy attacks that are roll dodgeable by the one holding aggro.
Nazaray summons four Kindred Spirits where two of them on hard mode opposite of each other must be destroyed in order to prevent a group wipe. This mechanic occurs shortly before ~70%, ~55%, ~35% (depending on group DPS) of Nazaray's health.
At about ~63% and ~40% and ~35% Nazaray will summon a Lurcher add that must be prioritized in terms of damage over Nazaray as it's quite rough on the tank.
Captain Numirril
Numirril is a Maormer boss that, just like the previous two bosses, uses quite a lot of AoEs which must be avoided. He has charging AoEs, tidal wave AoEs that can be rolled through or side stepped and geysers that spawn underneath players' positions.
He summons Drowned Corpses that spew and spawn poison AoEs on the ground that must be avoided while summoning Drowned Hulks, a smaller version of Flesh Colossi, in immunity phases (except for the execute phase starting at 40% where he is active).
The Drowned Hulks' charges cannot be taunted by the tank. It's recommended that one of the DPS in group focus the Drowned Corpses throughout the fight to reduce the number of poison AoEs on the ground.
At about the 40% mark, Numirril spawns two Drowned Hulks, one of which must be killed at the very least as the tank will need to handle one Drowned Hulk and Numirril who comes out of the immunity phase.
