Lord of Mysteries May Manor Castle 5 Anthea Boss Guide 2026

The recording's own card opens with “Focus Barney (Anthea is immune)”. Read that as a target-priority rule rather than a literal damage immunity: across the frames Mr. Barney's bar collapses from 100% to roughly 8% while Anthea's only drifts between 100% and 89%, and every time it dips it climbs straight back. We could not find a single frame that proves or disproves a hard immunity, so the exact rule stays in the ledger rather than being dressed up here.

Through the first minute the ballroom floor carries a purple chequered panel populated with translucent crystal figures — the boss's own puppets, standing on the ground the raid is about to fight across. Mr. Barney is at 95.9% and Anthea at 99.6%, and the cast bar reads 空气子弹. Nothing in the recording explains what the chequered board does; what it does demonstrate is that the raid fights on top of it for the whole of the first phase instead of clearing it.

The half of the card's rule that says “stack with healers” shows up as a huge orange and gold ring, with the game printing the instruction above it: 聚集到被盯上的队友身边，共同承担伤害！ — gather around the marked teammate and take the damage together. The raid stands inside the ring, and a second line warns that Anthea is about to fall into fear. The recording chooses the stack here rather than the jump, which is the other half of the same card line.

Anthea's signature callout lands mid-fight. The banner reads 木偶演出 — Puppet Show — and the line underneath it is hers: 你来做安西娅的木偶吧！ A pale translucent duplicate of a player rises in the middle of the arena while blue light-pillars and a staff-shaped orb stand on the floor around the group, and Mr. Barney's bar keeps falling regardless. The footage never shows what happens to a tethered player; this site's May Manor raid overview describes them being turned against the group, and no frame here confirms or denies it, so it stays flagged.

The card closes its first-phase list with that line about links. Around 2:24 the recording does draw a thin red tether across the arena from a player to one of the two bosses, and it is the only tether the footage shows. The recording never labels whose tether it is and nothing on screen explains what holding or breaking it does, so this page does not claim the red line is Anthea's. The usable part is the instruction itself: distance is the answer, and the raid spends the fight spreading rather than stacking on the boss.

A flat red sector sweeps across the floor and lands four-figure damage on several players at once. It is not a one-off: red sectors and red sheets sweep this floor repeatedly, in the middle of the fight and again inside the final minute. The recording's answer is simply to be somewhere else: the group is already spread, and the players taking the hit are the ones still standing in the sector when it resolves.

Two things happen in the same second here. The game prints 跳跃躲避震荡！ — jump to dodge the shockwave — which is the card's jump-the-AoE line confirmed by the encounter. And the health bars explain the kill order without any commentary: Mr. Barney is at 10.3% while Anthea sits at 97.8%. A raid that spreads its damage across both bars is fighting the encounter the way it does not want to be fought.

Barney is gone and the fight turns into a chase. The red callout 追逐比赛 — Chase Race — sits over the arena, a wide red cone sweeps the floor, and Anthea's line underneath it is 快点跑！安西娅要追上来啦！ A distance marker ticks down as the cone closes on the group. This is where the card's “make Barney charge away from Anthea” turns into its second life: wherever the cone is, you do not want to be standing still there.

The arena turns into a running lane. A red banner tells the raid 在倒数阶段，迅速跑向终点！ — during the countdown, run to the finish line — while a distance marker counts down through 50 metres and 36 metres to the goal. Anthea counts out loud in the dialogue box, 五……四……三……二……一……, blue light-pillars stand along the route with blue pools spreading at their feet, and small pale creatures shuffle forward with the group. Note the label the client actually prints: 一二三、木头人, one-two-three statues — not 水灵人.

Three flat red rings appear on the floor at once, each with a four-point star pattern inside it, and the fight keeps printing them for the rest of the run. The recording never explains what triggers them or what resolving one does, so treat this frame as identification rather than instruction: if the red star rings are on the floor, you are in the stretch where Anthea is chaining her ground mechanics.

Blue light-pillars rise out of the floor with bright pools spreading around their bases, and while they are up the fight prints 吸取 — absorb — with a number beside it. The same pillars are visible back in the first phase and again through the last minute. Which side is absorbing from which, and whether that number is damage or healing, is stated nowhere in the recording, so it stays unexplained in the ledger. What the frames do show is that the raid keeps fighting through the pillars rather than moving out of them.

Late in the fight the pillars arrive in threes and the raid works the boss between them. A golden lattice-framed panel also stands on the floor beside the group and travels with the fight across several frames; we could not identify it, so it is filed in the ledger rather than described as fact. The genuinely useful information in this frame is the bars: Anthea at 18.5% with the berserk timer at 1:41, which is the shape of the closing stretch — a race against a clock the recording shows but never explains.

The pursuit cone returns for the last stretch, wider this time and with the boss at 14%. The berserk timer is down to 1:29 and the raid is moving for the whole of it. A showcase recording has no combat log and no tooltips, so nothing about the cone's damage can be measured from it; what this frame is good for is recognition — a flat red sheet across the floor means keep moving, exactly as it did at 追逐比赛.

At 6.4% a large white winged figure stands over the arena with the fight's ground effects still layered around it. Anthea's line in this stretch is the only story beat the recording repeats, 妈妈，为什么抛弃安西娅，为什么不爱安西娅, and the two red floor markers in front of her are the same set the fight has been printing for minutes. The recording gives this form no name, so this page does not invent one for it.

The clear banner reads 阶段挑战胜利 — stage challenge victory — and the distribution window opens with it: 竞拍与分配 with a 43-second bid timer on the first item and 全部放弃 / 全部都要 buttons, a rewards strip along the bottom, and a 世界冒险秘宝 counter reading 5/20. The recording ends here, at roughly 7:35. Item names are legible on this frame, but the video supplies no drop table and no rates, so nothing here should be read as a loot list.
