Psa: Castrum 1st Boss Enrage Is (and Isn't) What People Think It Is

Just wanted to make a quick post that could be referenced to help debunk some of the claims about what causes the 1st boss pair of Castrum Lacus Litore to enrage. I have done quite a number of castrum runs and was lucky to get into one specific run where the teams were so imbalanced that I was able to test some of the common claims and confirm what is/isn't true.

A few points I want to stress:

  1. Boss HP% does matter, but not as strictly as some believe. The bosses should be killed within 3 minutes of each other to avoid spawning the Iron Giant.
  2. There does not appear to be a hard enrage based on time. The enrage occurs when the Tunnel Armor bot takes lethal damage, or when the Castrum instance timer expires.

And while I'm here, if the Iron Giant does spawn, you can stun it and spam Lost Death to kill it and prevent a wipe.
