- Location: Often in a large, interconnected area that spans both realities.
- Phases: Multiple phases, often requiring character switching.
- Attacks: Powerful ranged attacks, ground slams, summons large groups of Taken.
- Strategy:
- Character Switching: This is the core mechanic. One character might need to damage the Elder, while the other manipulates the environment to create an opening or a safe zone.
- Saga's Role: Focus on dealing direct damage with upgraded weapons, clearing adds, and using Charms for survival.
- Alan's Role: Use the Plot Board to change the environment, revealing weak points on the Elder, creating cover, or activating light sources.
- Coordinated Attacks: Look for opportunities where Alan's environmental changes create a vulnerability for Saga to exploit.
- Resource Management (Both): This is a long fight. Conserve resources and use them strategically.
- Rewards: Major story progression, unlocks final chapters.
This boss is a true test of your understanding of both protagonists. Communication between their realities is key.
