There are three gates the team will have to make their way throughin this raid, each with its own rewards. While this raid can be a challenge, it is not impossible. This guide will explain the best way to tackle the three gates in the Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid inLost Ark.
Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid: Gate One
To enter Gate One, the players must be at a minimum item level of 1475 for the Normal setting and 1385 for Practice. While any party composition will work, a great combination is two ranged DPS, one melee DPS, and one support.Players will also want to bringHP Potion, Whirlwind Bomb, and Panacea.
When players first enter, they will be marked by a suit of cards, hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs, which will be an essential part of Kakul-Saydon’s mechanics. Additionally, each player will be marked with a madness gauge central to the battle.
Overview Of The Main Player Mechanics
When the madness meter is filled on any player, they turn into clowns. Each of these transformations allots Kakul-Saydon one stack of 3% defense buffs. It triggers a cross-laser at the 50% mark that will fill up their teammates' madness meters if they are struck by it. Additionally, at 100%, the player’s skills are swapped out for three different abilities that will assist their teammates:
Sidereals are available for the team but must be activated by the leader, and timing is essential. These skills are the following:
Kakul-Saydon’s Main Mechanics
Kakul-Saydon has some very frustrating mechanics to deal with. These are the main mechanics related to his HP, plus one significant one that is random but can result in an immediate wipe if mishandled.

Players will need to pay attention to these mechanics to ensure they come out victorious:
Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid: Gate Two
Similar to Gate One, Gate Two applies the madness gauge mechanic again with the same risks at 50% and 100%. Additionally, players will have access to sidereals but will want to focus on using Ninevah and Innana. Ninevah is beneficial when the boss is performing a long animation. Innana can help players get through the pizza mechanic that occurs at x55HP.
Ideal combat items to bring on this raid include the following:
Kakul-Saydon changes all his HP-related mechanics for this raid phase, soplayers must be on their toes. Despite this, players may find this Gate the easiest of the three.
The mechanics they will need to watch out for include the following:
Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid: Gate Three
As one of themost challenging raidsyet inLost Ark,Gate Three requires some work to get through. There is still the mechanic of the madness gauge; however, the players must manage it, so they strategically fill it up as needed for different phases of Kakul-Saydon’s mechanics.
The best combat items to bring along include the following:
As with Gate Two, the HP mechanics change again, so they’ll need to be prepared to deal with a new battle strategy. The main mechanic of this Gate is the Mario mini-game. With this, players must turn into a clown by filling their madness gauge to complete the mini-game; however, it is an instant wipe if any player tries to complete two mini-games.
