Yama glyphs is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2025-05-14 and 2025-05-15. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.
Methods
- Glyphs around Yama's arena let you protect yourself from the big special; Gnomonkey goes clockwise by default, always starting at one of two starting glyphs.1
- When Yama shows the big special animation you step on the glyph, which blocks the attack and uses the glyph up, then go back to hitting Yama and work around the room to the next glyph.2
Tips
- You can null the orbs by touching the glyph as a backup, so you do not have to kill them; the void orb hit while the fire glyph did not because he touched the glyph.3
- The non-tank player should hit the glyphs, so that only the tank gets the full special; in good gear it is always one or two specials.4
- A huge ring of fire and a giant meteorite are specials you handle by grabbing the glyph; if the glyph-grabber misses the giant meteorite it one-shots the tank.5
- A special is always preceded by flame snakes; missing the glyph can one-shot you as the hit can exceed 100.6
Trivia
- When Yama begins a special attack and a glyph appears, tapping the glyph blocks the special so it does not hit you.7
- Yama always chooses the same glyph first at the start of the fight, and then specials follow the same order every time (clockwise or counterclockwise).8
- In a duo both players get the meteorites, but you cannot be hit by the other player's meteorites because it is client side.9
- Before the fireball special Yama does flames across the sides of the arena; getting hit stuns you in place so you cannot reach the glyph.10
- Before the shadow special Yama sends waves of energy across the screen that drop your prayer, so you can be comboed; Gnomonkey says this is probably the most dangerous thing in the fight.11
- In phase two the fire special drops a giant meteor that disables your run energy, so you must be right next to the glyph.12
- Sometimes Yama replaces a special with orbs; when the orbs are just above half charged, run onto two glyphs so they pop on the glyphs and do not heal the boss, then skip one glyph in the cycle.13
