Tytalos is a difficult Guardian Raid in Lost Ark due to its wipe mechanics - no matter how hard your team hits, your team is still going to fail to kill Tytalos if people aren't aware of the mechanics.
This short guide covers the desert mechanics as well as provides some tips on how you can defeat this Guardian Raid and move on to the next level o🉐f raids.
Understanding The Tytalos Mechanics
We'll just get right to the point, as it's likely not Tytalos' regular attacks that you're dying to - it's the wipe mechanics.
- Tytalos spawns several swirling desert whirlwinds or sandstorms, whatever you want to call them.

- These stack a debuff on you whenever you walk into them. This stacks up to three times, decreasing your movement speed.
- On the third stack, you become invulnerable (petrified, frozen in place) for a short period. Once you hit three stacks, you cannot receive the debuff for another 30 seconds.
- You need to time it so that you walk into the whirlwinds when Tytalos begins its AoE attack. You can tell it is about to begin the AoE attack because the ground underneath the Guardian begins to turn red/Tytalos crouches low to the ground.
This is a difficult mechanic to get right. The timing needs to be impeccable, and all of your teammates need to get it right if you don't want to end up wiping after the three allowed resurrections.
The hardest part of this is making sure that you don't get stacks of the debuff before the AoE attack. Avoid the sandstorms until you absolutely have to stand in the middle of them.

High mobility classes, like the Gunslinger, will find this a much easier raid to complete than the more s🍨luggish classes, like the Gunlancer.
You can tell when Tytalos is 🌞going to begin its AoE.
Wait for the Earthquake/Shatter attack. This ♋is where Tytalos stomps the ground.
Wait for two or three more attacks (this could be a swipe, pounce, charge, etc) and after the🌸 third attack, Tytalos will begin its AoE.
Make sure you are CLOSE to the sandstorms when Tytalos is finishing its third attack. This will give you the best chance of jumping into the center of the sandstorm BEFORE the AoE♔ wipe mechanic.
General Tips For The Fight
- You can cleanse the debuff with the Panacea Battle Item or with the Paladin/Gunlancer cleanse buff.
- It is possible to get past the one-shot wipe mechanic by climbing out/into another part of the arena - i.e, stand next to stairs, a ladder, or a zipline, and you will not be hit by the AoE wipe. This is useful if you quickly need to get out of the way of the attack.
- Bring HP Potions and a Flare. Tytalos will move around and hits hard, especially during the final stages of the fight.
