The Tangled Depths meta culminates in King of the Jungle, where players split across four lanes to defeat the Chak Gerent. Arrive before the preparation phase ends so you have time to join an organised map and choose a lane.

Before the event

• Reach Ley-Line Confluence Waypoint and look for an organised map in Looking For Group under Heart of Thorns → Tangled Depths.

• Bring crowd control skills. Breaking the Gerent's defiance bar creates the safest damage window.

• Choose Nuhoch, Ogre, Rata Novus or Scar lane and follow the commander for that lane.

• Keep a map-ready character in Tangled Depths if you regularly join at peak hours; organised instances can fill quickly.

How the fight works

Each lane completes its own pre-event and then fights one Gerent. The encounter alternates between mechanics, defiance-bar opportunities and short damage windows. All four lanes must succeed before the timer expires.

• Stay with your lane and complete its mechanic instead of following the boss between lanes.

• Save crowd control for the blue defiance bar and commit damage immediately after it breaks.

• Avoid standing directly in front of the Gerent and watch for expanding area attacks.

• If your lane finishes early, wait for commander instructions before moving; another lane may need help.

After the Gerent

When all four lanes succeed, the wall at Ley-Line Confluence opens. Follow the group into the reward area, loot the large chest and use the short post-event window to open additional crystallised supply caches.
