Urugugu Canyon guide
Urugugu Canyon has 3 bosses (Guardian Captain Raur, Judge Urahum and Divine Auldor). The game's own guide warns about 2 of their attacks during the Exploration run; the boss cards below quote each warning with the skill, its cast time and what it does. Divine Auldor goes into Frenzy after 5:00 of combat. The walkthrough lists the guide's 12 route steps in order.

Rules that apply outside the boss fights, as players describe them.
Share the targeted player's damage
When a player is targeted, the group stacks on them to split the damage instead of running away. The NPC says the same during the fight. [1]
Break stuns
Break out of any stun with the escape key. A stunned player who does not break free gets picked up and slammed, and the slam is a huge AoE that can kill everyone close. The boss name is not given in the posts. [1]
Shields help but are luck
TranscendenceA tank with shields can survive an unshared hit, but a Transcendence boss with the same type of attack kills you unless shared. [1]

The guide's briefing (5 lines)
Huh? You're one persistent Daeva, kru! Did you chase me all the way here?
You have real luck with treasure, kru! I came to this village after hearing rumors of mysterious treasure as well!
This canyon is home to a tribe of Aullaeu called the Urugugu, kru!
Apparently, the Urugugu use this place to make sacrifices to the Balaur! There are many spells protecting the village!
Fancy running into you here, kru. All right, let me give you some information. Listen to every word I say, and we'll be out of here in no time!
How this page is made
Game files (client 2026.10.21 (Steam build 26077854, 2026-10-21)): the lines the game shows when a boss casts or uses a skill, gets a buff, starts or dies (NpcBehaviorCase → NpcTalk: “Guide” = the Shugo guide's hint in the Exploration run, “Boss” = the boss's own shout), the skill's name, cast time, cooldown and range (Skill), the buffs and debuffs it applies with the game's text (SkillEffect → SkillAbnormal), the Frenzy timer (NpcData.BossBerserkInvokeTime) and the stagger. Many boss skills are only called “Attack” in the files; those cards are named by their effect or by the action they ask for. HP thresholds are not in the client.
The action label on each card is our reading of the guide's line, by its words: the first that matches of “Big alone, small together”, “Stagger it”, “Stop attacking”, “Break free”, “Climb up”, “Jump”, “Take cover”, “Block it”, “Lure the boss”, “Colours”, “Kill it first”, “Stack up”, “Spread out”, “Find the gap”, “Get in”, “Move out”, “Burn it down”. The line itself is the game's.
