"Lost Ark" players should not expend time, effort, and resources on the Tytalos raid for now.
This was the warning given by the game's publisher, Amazon Games, to players after the aforementioned raid has been found to be quite broken. According to PCGamer, one of the biggest problems with Tytalos being "extremely difficult" to beat after a recent patch.
Here is the warning from the official "Lost Ark" Twitter account:
We are aware of an issue within the Tytalos Guardian Raid and working on a hotfix we aim to release on Monday. Until then, we strongly suggest avoiding it so you do not expend valuable time or resources. Thank you for your patience.

As you can see there, the developers are currently working on a hotfix to deal with the broken raid. They mentioned that they aim to release the hotfix on Monday, Mar. 21.
According to a post on the "Lost Ark" forums, the problem with Tytalos is that it's almost impossible to defeat it within the allotted time frame (20 minutes), specifically at the power level players are required to be in to participate in the raid in the first place.
Apparently, many players have been trying the raid out since it launched. They noticed that even with a band of high-level players, Tytalos remains a chore to beat. This then prompted players to ask whether the fight was intended to be that tough-or if it was broken all along.
With Smilegate's recent post on the forums, it is now confirmed that the fighter is indeed bugged.
However, while the fix is being worked on, players might be eligible for a "compensation" from Smilegate due to their progression being blocked by "Lost Ark's" Tytalos bug, reports Eurogamer. But whatever this compensation might be is not clear as of this point.

'Lost Ark' Still Dealing With Major Issues
The "Lost Ark" Tytalos bug is just the latest of a widespread range of issues plaguing the massively popular MMORPG in recent times.
Despite reaching an insane milestone of 20 million players worldwide, the Korean MMO has been struggling with problems aside from the broken Tytalos raid. For one, developer Smilegate has mentioned that they're still working on controlling the game's bot problem, even after they've already banned a million or so suspicious accounts (via PCGamer).
The aforementioned bots, which have been shown doing things like "chain questing" in order to farm gold (which their owners would likely look to sell for profit), have been posing problems to the in-game economy.
Couple this with the broken Tytalos raid, and it can be safe to assume that the developers at Smilegate now have an even bigger mountain of work ahead of them. But if you still really want to try the raid, maybe it would be best for you to go solo for now until it is fully fixed.
This is because, according to some players posting on the game's forums, Tytalos' moveset seems to be "not working correctly" when dealing with groups of players. Doing the raid solo is reportedly a smoother experience.
Have you tried out the Tytalos raid yet yourself?
