Lost Ark has plenty of endgame content, which includes Abyss Dungeons. Abyss Dungeons are massive dungeons in Lost Ark that require you to team up with other players to take down a variety of tough bosses.

After you stagger Cicerra the first time, he may go to grab one of your teammates. You need to deal Stagger Damage to free your teammate, or your team will wipe. He will lose an Attack buff after this mechanic, so it’s actually useful to have him trigger this attack.

After defeating Cicerra, you’ll have to defeat some
