How to Defeat Hinkypunk in the "Flame of Dusk" Critical Encounter

Lamplight inflicts damage on all participants.

Dread Dive is a high-damage attack on the player highest in the enmity list.

When the boss casts Molt, it will display a sequence of attack markers that can include a knockback marker, a cross-shaped attack, and a donut attack. After the castbar finishes, the boss will teleport into one of the unmoving birds and perform the first attack, then it will teleport to a different bird and perform the second attack, and so on. Do your best to remember the sequence of attacks so you can dodge them accordingly, each time the boss teleports.

Flock of Souls will split the boss into two of the birds. Each bird will display a sequence of attacks, alternating between the birds each time. You will need to remember each bird's sequence of attacks, then watch for which location the bird teleports to before it performs each of these attacks. After the first two attacks, the boss will finish casting a spell, which will either be Shades' Nest, a donut attack centered on itself, or Shades' Crossing, a cross attack centered on itself. The birds will then teleport away and you will need to remember the next two attacks that they had displayed, and dodge them accordingly. Then the boss will again cast either Shades' Nest or Shades' Crossing.
