Strategy

A massive mutated creature lurking in the toxic swamps. It attacks with corrosive sludge and powerful tentacle slams. Fire weapons are extremely effective, and targeting its head deals critical damage.

Strengths

  • +Toxic swamp environment deals passive damage
  • +Sludge projectiles have wide area coverage
  • +Phase 2 toxic clouds limit arena space
  • +Body roll covers massive distance quickly

Weaknesses

  • -Fire damage is extremely effective
  • -Head takes critical bonus damage
  • -Tentacle slams are well telegraphed
  • -Slow base movement speed between attacks

Attack Patterns

  • 1
    Sludge Throw -- launches corrosive projectiles in an arc
  • 2
    Tentacle Slam -- slams massive tentacles down
  • 3
    Body Roll -- rolls its entire body across the arena
  • 4
    Phase 2: Toxic Cloud -- releases lingering poison cloud
  • 5
    Phase 2: Frenzy -- rapid succession of tentacle attacks

Boss Tips

  • 1Fire damage is extremely effective -- use Flamberge or Fire Grindstone consistently
  • 2Target the head for bonus damage and stagger buildup -- use vertical attack weapons
  • 3The toxic swamp itself deals slow damage -- equip Attribute Purification Ampoule
  • 4Phase 2 toxic clouds linger -- keep repositioning to maintain clean fighting space
  • 5Dodge through the sludge projectiles at close range rather than trying to outrun them
