Phase 2: Structural Reinforcement

Strategy for Phase 2 of The Architect boss fight, dealing with energy barriers, repair drones, and shorter weak point windows.

At around 50% health, The Architect will begin deploying 'Energy Barriers' that block line of sight and create choke points. It will also summon 'Repair Drones' that attempt to heal it. Your immediate priority is to destroy the Repair Drones before they reach The Architect. Use high-damage weapons or area-of-effect gadgets. The Energy Barriers can be destroyed with sustained fire, but it's often better to find alternative routes or use mobility gadgets to bypass them. The Architect's core remains vulnerable during Orbital Strike charges, but the windows are shorter. Consider using Shock Grenades to briefly stun it and expose the core.
