These hard encounters have thougher bosses than normal, with some of them having additional enemies or mechanics that increase the challenge. Upon losing, the game will display a tip to help players beat the encounter next time they face it.


 * Candy Caning:
 * Nu Wa's soldiers will explode if they touch her rolling ornament. Try to position them away from it!


 * A Bone-Chilling Night:
 * When Ah Puch's soldiers die they leave a corpse he can explode. Keep your distance after killing one.


 * Ice to Meet You:
 * Kukulkan will leave a long lasting whirlwind on a random player. Be aware of your surroundings and try to control where the whirlwinds are placed.


 * Snowball Fight:
 * Kuzenbo's snowballs can quickly fill the room. Try to burst them down one by one--and don't forget to dodge!


 * Beasts of Winter:
 * Try to balance protecting yourself from CC while maintaining priority targets. Once immediate threats like Scylla are taken down, you're much safer to burst down the rest.


 * Freeze or Burn:
 * Ra will periodically summon waves of Celestial Beams. Try to follow their patterns and get out of the way quickly.


 * Abominable:
 * If one of the Cu Chulainns dies, the other will quickly enter Berserk mode. Try to get both of them close to death before killing one.


 * Sisterly Love:
 * The Medusas can heal each other with their Petrify ability. Be smart with your aggro and keep them from looking at each other.


 * Under the Tree:
 * Da Ji's Paolao will deal massive damage if you don't collect a present before the chains activate. Be sure to keep yourself spread out so everyone can get a present.


 * French Hen:
 * The Hen hatches many chickens that will peck and dash to players, making it more difficult to defeat the Hen. Try to keep the chicken count low.


 * Arachnophobia:
 * The boss in this encounter is an giant Arachne surrounded by many web walls that will respawn shortly after they are broken. This boss has the ability Cocoon to pull in players and will use Night Crawler to move to the opposite end of the arena.
