Defeat Serenetti and save Maiyue (Poisonous Courtyard)

You now face the leve 32 Serenetti. The caveat here is that you end us using three fixed characters and not the party you came in with.

All in all, this is a rather straightforward fight. It flashes red when you need to dodge attacks. The first part of the fight is well choreographed, so just dodge the prompts and chip away at its health.

For the second half of the fight, the battleground goes red. Serenetti starts to through out area-of-effect attacks, most of which are prompted by the red flashes.

Otherwise, watch out for pulses on the floor. They come from energy bursts from the ground and pulses from Serenetti itself.

Keep moving and dodge the prompts and chip away at its health until a cutscene plays.

While tracking the quest, press L3 to automatically change the time.
