This boss is very challenging given it’s shock damage and massive range. Let’s get equipped shall we? Make some shock-quelling powder for lightning resistance, tiger subdueing potion, and Evil repelling medicament. Equip the galegaurd armor for shock defense and over best defense stats so far. I also used wandering wight spirit along with a transformation. If you don’t have one yet, I urge you to go do the woman of stone questline in order to obtain it.

As for spells, I used immobilize, cloud step, and pluck of many.

Unlike my other guides let’s go in to tips first before. Planning is your biggest tactic against this guy.

Tips:

Do not use all of your cards in your sleeve off the bat. Mid fight you will be in a tough position, that’s when you will want to do the most damage possible.

Before walking in, go ahead and pop a tiger subdueing potion or evil repellent. Go ahead and use pluck of many as well. Charge a heavy and run in there. Smack him with your heavy before he has a chance to react and let him attack your friends while you regen stamina.

Now it’s just you and him. With as little potions possible, fight this guy till he summons a sand storm.

This is the hard part, you are in close quarters with him as he jumps in and out of sand to pounce at you. Wide swings in a small arena can only mean a matter of time before you die. Find an opening and give him everything you got. Save your transformation for last. Be sure to utilize every ability you have. Save invisibility though.

Once the sand disapates, he goes back to fighting in the same style as before the storm. Only this time he summons a small tornado. Keep your distance from it as you try to focus on him. If you get cornered, use your invisibility to fet out of a tight spot.

His move set:

This boss has a wide range of attacks. Figurativly and literally. With his spear he swings in threes and often ends with a kick.

Throughout all three phases of this fight, every time he swings his pole down straight towards the middle, he will unleash a long line of spears that shoot up out of the ground. Always be dodging sideways with this boss. Especially that attack.

When you get his health down a quarter of the way, he turns invisible. 2 different times he will charge you for a 3-4 hit combo. No trick to this, just dodge.

Once he is done, you will spend the next 50% of his health bar trying to survive inside a tornado. He will constantly dip outside of it. You cant follow him so don’t try, just keep your eye on him and wait to dodge his pounces. You should be playing offense this small bit, because if you give him the chance, he will kill you quickly here.

The toughest move to dodge is when he summons up a giant bug carcass to come crashing down. Dodge forward-left as much as you can. If you have troubles with this, use your transformation here so it doesn’t effect your health bar.

Another move he will use all throughout the fight is a move that completely dissipates your entire health bar. Watch for his foot to turn yellow, he is about to kick you. If he succeeds it will send you in to the air as he throws you back down smiting you with his spear.

That’s the most important information I can share. I did 100% of everything leading in to this at level 37. I gave it everything I had and it was hands down the most difficult one so far for me. Good luck!
