Shaikal has four different attacks that he can hit your team with at various frequencies. All of these attacks would recur throughout the battle. The good thing is they are predictable and the game gives you a hint right before Shaikal releases a certain type of attack. Understanding how to dodge these attacks in Throne and Liberty Cursed Wasteland Dungeon's boss fight is vital. Here are the attacks and how to deal with them:

• First heavy attack: Shaikal will raise his hands right before unleashing the first heavy attack, which spreads across the entire area and can unleash heavy damage on the entire team. However, this attack is blockable, so be prepared to block it as soon you see him raise his arms.
• Purple AOE attack: Shaikal will spawn purple AOE zones beneath two targets. The only way to make it out alive is to move out of the way as soon as you see the purple rings form beneath you. This will allow you to take no damage and continue your fight.
• Red orb attack: Shaikal will mark a target with a red orb. This is your indication to begin running far away from the team as the boss will release an AOE attack with a massive radius that can affect not only one but multiple players. Run towards the corner and away from the team for some time even if it means withdrawing from the battle for the time being.
• Purple orb attack: Finally, one player from the team will be marked with a purple orb. Shaikal will perform a tracking purple breath attack on this target throughout this stage. It is best to move away from this attack; all players must be aware of it as it can damage anyone in its way.

As one can see, many of the mechanics include moving away from Shaikal's attacks as most of them cannot be blocked. However, there is one major issue with movement. The glowing lines divide the ground into three separate sections.
