Kinfall

Kinfall is a fractal taking place within an icy cavern deep in the Shiverpeaks. Players journey as a group of Kodan, searching for the mysterious source of haunting whispers.
Basic Mechanics
Upon entry, players transform into Kodan bear forms. To revert to your usual character appearance, interact with the Fractal Interface Panel at the entrance.
Throughout the fractal, visibility is limited, creating the illusion of multiple paths. However, there is only one true path. Stick closely with your team and progress together.
Life-Fire Mechanic
All players receive the
At specific points, players must sacrifice their
Svanir Groups
Throughout Kinfall, players encounter groups of Svanir enemies. These packs consist of ranged and melee units, and some possess break bars with a mini-boss spawning at the last portal. Proceed carefully, clearing each pack to advance to the boss area.
Whispering Shadow (Final Boss)
Arrows and Circles
During the encounter, the ground fills with confusing visual effects. Distinguish clearly between non-harmful
Semi-Circle Attack
Focused Spikes
The boss targets a player with a bullseye icon, signaling incoming ice spikes. These spikes track the targeted player’s movement and spawn in a rotating clock motion, causing disabling conditions if struck.
Break Bar
The boss periodically gains a robust defiance bar around 75%, 50%, and 25% health. Quickly deploy crowd-control abilities to shatter this bar, preventing continuous blinding pulses and negating
Cryoflash Mechanic
The central attack of the encounter, Cryoflash, affects either the ground or air, Lower Cryoflash will not occur until 75% CC has passed.
- Lofted Cryoflash (Upward): Look for orange circles with red arrows pointing upward. Quickly get into these circles to avoid the damage by jumping upwards.
- Terrestrial Cryoflash (Ground): Marked by orange circles with red crosses. Steer clear of these entirely.
The orange circles always spawns at the same location making it possible to move before the AoE appears by looking at the boss animations
Freezing Vortex
Four spiral AoEs emanate from the boss, expanding outward. Move carefully to evade these expanding AoEs, maintaining your position away from damage zones.
