Mechanics
The boss doesn't go into enrage mode by itself. Under the boss there is a pipe with a pedestal next to it, on this pedestal there is a cube, if you take the cube off the pedestal the boss will go into enrage mode and stay this way untill you return the cube.
Eventually the pipe will start to fill with red. As soon as it fills up completely players will see the effect on their characters and will be instantly killed.
Lifting the cube off the pedestal stops the pipe from filling up.
That's it lol
The boy is angry
Once the Hanged Man goes into enrage mode he will be invulnerable to damage. He'll also start firing lasers about 90 degrees in front of him at random position.
If you're fighting a boss for the first time, you probably don't have cool defence modules, which means the laser will kill you in one hit.
What do WE do?
Once approximately 2 minutes have passed and the pipe is almost full, one player runs to the pedestal and takes the cube, after which the player with the cube in his hands must run around from the shots flying at him and from electic puddles appearing on his way. If you are this player then you have to be careful and have maximum protection against electricity.

At this time the rest of the group should stand in front of the boss, yes, in front of the upcoming scary laser and shoot the boss in the face. In enrage mode the Hanged Man has only one vulnerable spot, which he shows a few seconds before firing the laser (core with yellow health bar). You can stand on the side, but then it's hard to aim.

It only takes two people with a bit more than 100k DPS in a group of 4 to smash a vulnerable part in 2-3 seconds.

Once the vulnerable part is smashed, the Hanged Man will be stunned before he can fire the laser, if there is a player with a cube in hand at the moment boss is stunned, then the red thing from the pipe will be reduced.

Smash the vulnerable part of the boss a couple of times to completely remove the red stuff from the pipe to avoid being insta killed.

After that, return the cube to its place. The boss will return to its normal state and become exposed to damage.
Profit?
Good luck finding people who know what to do in this game with dead chat lol

p.s forgot to add in previous comment, thanks for this guide & i hope it helps many players at knowing how to do this thus improving public queue play in future

i uninstalled mainly for the reasons of no one in public queue knowing how to do hanged man & then any of the hard difficulty bosses thus being successful perhaps once out of 20-30 tries -.- game is unplayable in group content & also in solo cuz it requres group to pass said content to make any actual progress in your power increasing -.- utterly shart design by nexon with 0 instructions to players to teach them how anything works thus leading to less useless players & actually enjoyable game... might as well redesign it into a singleplayer game & sell it, would make them bigger profit overall & in long term, right now all this bs is gonna kill the game as more & more ppl will leave till it's eventually dead if not fixed in time

once you pick up the cube do you have to keep carrying it. it seems being off the pedestal is what triggerss the frenxy phase and you dont necessarily have to actively run with it

Been stuck at this boss for a week, when I take the cube to run around, I just see the rest of the group grappling hooking around and never shooting his mouth, if I try to be on the damage duty, no one picks up the cube, I will never unlock hard mode bosses at this rate :(
I really dont like instant wipe mechanics, they have been absolute horse donkey in every mmo they ever existed in, I dno why they thought it was a fun idea here, especially with how the rest of the entire game is so well represented in what needs done just through gameplay
