Tips
Acquisition Tips
The Loom spell is a teleport ability with no cast time for Flame Sergeant Dalvag, so you'll never see it on his cast bar. If you just stand in melee range, he will never cast Loom.
To make him cast Loom, do the following:
- As he starts casting another ability, use this time to move away from him, out to 10-15 yalms. Once he finishes, he should teleport back into melee range of you, the teleport is him using Loom.
- Kill him after you see him use the teleport.
Another method is to engage Flame Sergeant Dalvag from range. If you are far enough, he will use Loom to start the fight.
Other Tips
- Loom is useful for a few Masked Carnivale fights when dodging wide AoE attacks, especially when the player is inflicted by
Heavy. Some examples include Blobs in the Woods and Dirty Rotten Azulmagia.
