Feel free to ask any questions below! I shall add them here if I think it might be a common question.
Q: What is ‘Blocking’? I hear this term at a lot of Harkon Protector events?
A: This is when a player enters the Shadow Sanctuary, and stands by a Harkon Statue without refreshing Mind’s Eye. Monsters will still hurry towards the statue, however, they will not attack the statue when a player uses their character as a ‘blocker’. This means that players within the Sanctuary will have one less statue to focus on.
However, this does not always work.
Blocking is most effective during Gloom Mode, with the blocker stationed at Statue 3, as Statue 3 (arguably) spawns the most monsters during this mode. If there is more than one blocker, the secondary blocker is usually stationed at Statue 4, as it also spawns a lot of monsters in Gloom Mode.
Yes, blocking could be considered as a bug, as it allows players within the Sanctuary to ‘win’ more easily, hence why some players do not like to use this method. They consider it as cheating. Despite this, players have used this method since eTO, and some may consider it as a secret ‘game feature’ instead, as the Developers of the official game never bothered to “fix” it.
Blocked monsters must not be killed , as it messes with the spawns and makes monsters aggro, thus making them use their skills to attack the Harkon and other nearby players. Some monsters do get past and manage to get to the Blocked Harkon Statue, so blocked statues will have to be checked regularly by a non-blocker. Please refrain from using AoE skills when killing the monsters that get past. Use single-targeted skills, such as, Arrow Rush instead. 
Q: Why am I being yelled at for OHKOing (Shade of) Chronos?
A: As mentioned above under ‘Rewards’

Ultra Rare Drops
Chronos Shard
Note: Chronos Shard does not actually ‘drop’ like the other shards do. In order to have a chance of getting the Chronos Shard, players must have hit Chronos at least once before he is defeated.

When Chronos spawns, it is strongly advised to not kill him immediately. Please allow others within the map to at least attack him once before defeating him. Only the players that manage to land an attack on him has a chance of obtaining the Chronos Shard. So, if you solo him, no one else will have that chance. Please be fair!
