The Primordials

The Primordials is the ninth challenge on the Otherworldly Creatures Challenges board. It consists of defeating a trio of Simulacrum of Uthuluc, and Sciuridaehotep and The Witness at the same time.
== Rules ==
Icebound Revenant is not allowed in this fight.
=== Simulacrum of Uthuluc ===
# Has 100 All Resistance normally, but after breaking Chitin, his effective All resistance becomes -100.
#Progress towards breaking Chitin can only be made by dealing 4 critical hits, once each time Simulacrum of Uthuluc acts, meaning that you have to spend 4 turns breaking Chitin. In addition, progress cannot be made if Simulacrum of Uthuluc is stunned in-between critical hits.
# Uthuluc's damage doubles every time its chitin is broken.
# Chitin can only be broken 4 times before it becomes impervious to any further attempts to breaking.
# Simulacrum of Uthuluc gains +120 BPD for 2 turns every 3 turns.
# Gains +200 Bonus after 16 turns.
=== Sciuridaehotep and The Witness ===
# The Witness grants Sciuridaehotep +150 to Melee, Pierce, or Magic for 2 turns on rotation.
#*The turn order for these are Magic -> Pierce -> Melee.
#* The Witness does not need to be defeated.
# Sciuridaehotep must be defeated 3 times.
# Sciuridaehotep can randomly add cooldown to all skills that ignores hitcheck.
# Sciuridaehotep purges target's status effects every 2 turns on its first life which ignores hit check.
#* This becomes every other turn after its first life.
# On its last life, Sciuridaehotep will nuke every 5 turns, purging all effects before dealing damage.
# Sciuridaehotep reflects 150% of direct damage if stunned.
== Turn Order ==
Simulacrum of Uthuluc -> The Witness -> Sciuridaehotep
== Equipment ==
Simulacrum of Uthuluc deals ??? (Void) Magic damage, while Sciuridaehotep deals Good Magic damage. All resistance and Magic defenses are suggested.
== Strategy ==
* Simulacrum of Uthuluc should be defeated first, as Sciuridaehotep only becomes threatening if you deal damage to it.
* If you get bad luck and can't get consistent crits to break Uthuluc's Chitin, you can use Dragon's Primal and/or Nova for free crits.
* As Sciuridaehotep's nuke purges before dealing damage, the only way to mitigate it is by using debuffs.
== Classes ==
* Due to Uthuluc's Chitin mechanic, classes with either high hitcount, or ways of increasing their Crit will have more reliable runs.
* Ranger has an easy time with this fight, as not only does it have Spotter to make your next attack an autocrit, it has +Bonus in the form of Tracker, and deals two types of damage to softly ignore Sciuridaehotep's shields.
