Norn Bercant Boss Guide & Mechanics | Throne & Liberty: Doomrot Grove Co-op Dungeon
The Vine Wall
The first of the main mechanics Norn Bercant uses is the Vine Wall. This happens once the boss gets to about 80-90% HP or so, so it’s pretty early in the fight. At this point, you should notice that 4 players have a large green seed above their head.

Now, the players marked by the green seed have to position themselves in a specific way quickly. Two players should get close to the boss and face it, while the other two players get far away from the boss and face away from it. The unmarked players should simply stand in the middle between both duos of marked players. Proper placement should look like the example above.
After a few seconds, the seeds will sprout into Vine Walls directly in front of the marked players. At the same time, Norn Bercant will summon a large number of projectiles from the outer parts of the arena toward herself. If everyone positions themselves correctly, the Vine Walls will block all projectiles and prevent damage.
The Floor is Poison
Right after the Vine Wall mechanic, Norn Bercant will cast light green circles below all players’ feet. These green poison circles detonate after a short while. Just move away from them quickly when you notice them and you’ll avoid this move entirely.
She’ll cast this move twice in a row the first time, but she’ll also keep casting it sporadically for the rest of the fight. We recommend that your party avoids clumping together from now on so that you don’t accidentally dodge into another player’s poison circle.
Right after the poison circles, Norn Bercant will do a Wrath Attack. Simply time a rolling Block at the same time as the purple diamond reaches the center of the icon to avoid taking damage.
Next, Norn Bercant slams the ground with one of her hands, summoning a green wave that covers all of the arena’s floor. To avoid taking damage from this move, you just need to jump over the waves. Proper timing is key here!
Launch Attack and Debuff
The last of the main mechanics for this boss is a fairly tricky launch attack. Norn Berncant will slam the ground, sending all players high into the air and applying a debuff on them. This debuff will deal pretty high damage over time at a fairly fast rate.
At this point, you should notice red lines from the edge of the arena moving toward the boss. Turrets will spawn on the vine walls at the edge of the arena and start shooting seeds at Norn Bercant. Stand on one of those red lines and let the seeds hit you to remove the debuff applied by the launch attack.
From now on, Norn Bercant simply starts looping her patterns. The only difference moving forward happens when the boss is at around 25% remaining HP. Root spikes will spawn for a while after the launch attack, dealing high damage if you land on them. Just glide with your morph to avoid landing on them after the launch.
