Strategy & Tips

This Act 3 Boss has a long 8-turn cycle and demands careful turn tracking. Turn 1 buffs with +4 Strength and 15 Barrier — use this free turn to apply debuffs or set up your engine. Turn 2 deals 30 damage, block heavily.

Turn 3 applies Burn 3 and Weakness 2, crippling your output. Turn 4 delivers a devastating 3x16 (48 total) hit. Turn 5 blocks for 25, so save damage for other turns.

Turn 6 applies 5 Poison, adding sustained pressure. Turn 7 unleashes 45 damage — the highest single hit. Turn 8 repeats the Strength/Barrier buff.

Vulnerability is extremely effective here since attacks hit hard. Chill reduces all damage output and is critical for surviving turns 4 and 7. Bring Burn and Poison cleansing.

The Burning Candle relic starting Vulnerable helps tremendously with the 420 HP pool.
