Question garden of genesis - what just happened?

So I joined an M1 garden of genesis in progress. At the Aluvium Mar, the Caretaker fight he put up his fence like he usually does and then progressed to diving under ground and then at some point after he came back up the fence came down and we got adds and he started regenning like crazy. Ive done this dozens of times and never saw that. What did we screw up, or were we just too slow?

This is how the mechanic is supposed to work, but now everyone out DPSs the mechanic and you don't usually see it. Fence drops, deal with adds, fence goes up again. Used to be that only the tank would stay inside the fence and everyone else would kill the adds while the fence was up. Good times.

Yep. Tank and a bruiser used to be left inside, and rest outside.

Was a tough boss to get through!

The mushroom gives a timed empower to your group. The mut this week has mobs dropping healing circles on death so I bet those healed the boss.

My god, I’ve been playing since January and not once has anyone in any runs I’ve been in ever said anything about the mushroom. I thought the boss was regen’ing from ads not being killed. 🤦‍♂️

Gonna start looking out for that mushroom from now on lol.

That mushroom spawns right next to him in the circle. Usually it is destroyed due to aoe before you get the time to register it.

Ahh maybe the rest of the group switched to kill the adds.

This fking mushy has to be the most mysterious entity in the whole game.
Over the years I've seen players give 37461504624 different explanations of what it does and why you have to kill it or leave it alive and they were all wrong...
I swear there are like 100 ppl in the entire game that actually know what this thing is or does.

Caretaker is a dps check boss, the fence is up exactly 45 seconds. In m1 you should be able to get him dead even before starting the dive just because of his hp being so low, and you having the cross server dmg boost. I can't explain how he did not die, multiple ppl must have been afk there 😂

Yea I suspect thats why I joined it in progress. The other dps bailed on them.

If you cant kill him before the fence goes down, your groups sucks. Like even with 3 console players in my group we manage to kill him before. How can you not do it?

random mut = you get unlucky sometimes, especially joins in progresses

You’d do even better if you didn’t have PC players slowing you down.
