Getting there

• This event can be accessed from Path 1 and Path 3:
  • Path 1 (Ferrah): After defeating the Slave Driver, jump down a set of ledges (pictured to the right) to the left of the bridge before the room with the engineer.
  • Path 3 (Rhiannon): There is a corridor at the bottom of the room with the 3 torches that need to be lit at the same time. It is filled with elite Oozes.
• Green marks, shortcut: Coming from path 1 has the option to skip the elite oozes by performing a jump onto the rock faces by the event. This jump requires  Swiftness to reach comfortably.
• Red marks, fighting: Follow the path to the right up the spiral incline filled with groups of elite oozes. It is highly recommended to kill the oozes in single groups, as too many will overwhelm you and cause a wipe. The groups as they are aren't typically an issue for most groups. The oozes immobilize, burn, and do moderate amounts of damage, but are generally pretty easy to defeat.

Event

Both the Ooze King and Ooze Queen will be active at the start. It is recommended to defeat the King first. Each of them will become invulnerable at 50%, go back to the center of the room, and despawn.

Ooze King

The King has a 3 bounce  Launch ability with a very telegraphed windup: When he is about to perform this attack he will swell up and start to glow. It is best to not have your back to the ledge as you will die if you fall off. It is also advised to dodge this attack as often as possible because taking all 3 bounces at once will do a lot of damage.

Ooze Queen

The Queen is easier to handle, as the attack causing  Immobile is mostly only dangerous in conjuction with the King's bounce. She additionally has a charged attack that shoots multiple projectiles, which can be very lethal if all hit you in melee.

United Ooze

Once both of the Oozes have been defeated, they will fuse together and become a legendary United Ooze. This enemy will do all of their attacks: The same bounce as the King, and the same immobilize and shotgun as the Queen. It will also occasionally spawn small Chromatic Oozes that do moderate damage.

Tips

Continuously break their defiance bar to stop them from using their skills. Bring  Stability or stun break for the bounce attacks, condition cleanse for the immobilize, and try not to let the normal mobs overwhelm you. It can be useful to keep a couple alive to use to rally in an emergency.

Leaving

• Path 1: Take the Molten Foundry Waypoint back to where you defeated the slave driver.
• Path 3: Go back down the corridor that you used to enter.
