Doom
Strategy
You'll need to one-shot each of the sleeping bombs. Each one has about 760HP.
Use 
Bristle and any spell with 200+ potency on each bomb.
Alternately, attack with 
1000 Needles on each bomb.
Act 2
Enemies
The Forefather
Strategy
- Bombshell Drop: Spawns in Arena Grenades. Kill (grey) Arena Grenades in one hit before Forefather casts Ignition. If you use
1000 Needles, make sure you don't hit the Forefather.
The second time he casts Bombshell Drop, he will summon a (blue) Arena Gas Grenade. Forefather will then immediately begin casting Burst which will cause wipe.
- Burst: Use
Sticky Tongue to pull the Arena Gas Bomb to the Forefather and the Grenade's Flashtoom will stun the Forefather out of his Burst. However, every spell that hits the (blue) Arena Gas Grenade will reset its cast time, so avoid using AoE spells after positioning it.
If your DPS is high-enough, you can get Forefather down to under 50% HP before he casts Burst and then use 
Off-guard, 
Moon Flute, 
Whistle, and 
Final Sting to finish him off.
