General Mechanics of Vanaspati
- Terminus Snatcher
- Mouth Off spawns mouths on the arena. An open mouth will do an AoE.
- Dodge these while dodging left/right cleaves - What is Left and What is Right and being inflicted with Temporary Misdirection.
- Terminus Wrecker
- Unholy Water spawns water bubbles that stun players that get close.
- If there is a knockback, do not get knocked back into the water bubble, and if there is a room-wide AoE, get inside the water bubble.
- Svarbhanu
- Aetherial Disruption will turn rows of the arena into blue triangles or red circles.
- The player's screen will glow with a blue triangle or red circle, indicating what rows will explode.
- Dodge these while dealing with knockbacks and AoEs.
- When the boss disappears, look north and move to the column without a meteor.

Quick Tips for Tanks

- Terminus Snatcher's Last Gasp, Terminus Wrecker's Total Wreck, and Svarbhanu's Gnashing of Teeth are the tank busters to watch out for.

- Players who do not get in a bubble for Aether Spray take considerable damage, a vuln stack, and an uncleansable DoT followed by a raidwide. Save instant heals to ensure they stay alive.
