Mechanics
Before getting into Hieronymus’ main mechanics, there are a few things to keep in mind. This boss has a high amount of DEF (2900), this provides the boss with a large damage reduction value. In addition to this, Hieronymus is also one of the few raid bosses with Incoming DMG RES. Which results in any team barely doing any damage if you ignore the mechanics. Additionally, all of Hieronymus’ attacks deal more damage the lower the students’ HP.
Phase 1
The main mechanic to mitigate the damage reduction is the Green Relic, which is found on the left side of the screen and will start with 0 HP. Healing this Relic applies a debuff onto Hieronymus, which increases 
After applying the debuff to the boss, the Green Relic will reset back to 5% HP, allowing you to apply the debuff again. Note that after applying the debuff onto Hieronymus, it will apply a 50% 
If you have healed the Relic at the right timings while waiting for the
The next mechanic to look out for is the Curse. which deals damage overtime to a random student. This lasts for 10 seconds and will have a timer on top of the affected student. This will continue to tick down and deal damage until you have fully healed the student. If the debuff expires before you are able to heal them to full, the Curse will deal a large amount of damage in an AoE around the target.
You can check the Curse timings below in the General Mindset section.
Phase 2
During Phase 2, not much will change for the core mechanics of the fight. The only thing to take note of here is that Hieronymus will now have an ATG bar, which will fill up over time. Once this bar has been filled, it will cast an instant wipe skill, which ends the run immediately. This will happen after 110 seconds have passed in Phase 2.
The insta-wipe mechanic can be canceled by healing the Red Relic, which is only found during Phase 2. Be mindful when healing the Relic, as it is possible to heal it too early, which leads to you canceling another attack or after its initial animation, which is too late.
There are generally 2 ways to know when to heal the Red Relic. The first of which happens when you see the ATG bar fully filled up while the left staff glowing red, and when the ATG bar is depleted, there will be a small window to cancel the wipe.
General Mindset
Hieronymus is a straightforward raid that mainly tests how well you are able to build your team for this raid. The main flow of this raid consists of healing the Green Relic while it does not have the debuff or even with a debuff if you can brute force it. While keeping an eye out for the Curse to remove the debuff and managing your team’s health.
For players who are new to this raid, here are some pointers to guide you through the raid.
- At the beginning of the fight, you will want to fully heal the Green Relic right away. This makes it so that the Recovery Boost debuff timer starts as soon as possible.
- It is important to heal the Curse effect on students since it can deal significant damage to your damage dealers. Listed below are rough estimates for Curse timings.
(Note that these estimates include some leeway to give you prep enough skill points)
- First Curse 3:07 - 2:55
- Second Curse 2:08 - 2:02
- Third Curse 1:25 - 0:54
- Fourth Curse 0:25 - 0:15
Strats
