Location: Sunken City
Phases: 2
Weakness: Vulnerable after completing attack combos, susceptible to quick counter-attacks.
The Mother's Shadow is a swift and agile boss, a stark contrast to Amiran. She uses quick, multi-hit combos and often teleports around the arena. Your primary strategy should be focused on dodging *through* her attacks and immediately counter-attacking with 1-2 hits. Do not try to block her combos unless you have a very high stability shield. In Phase 1, learn the rhythm of her attacks. She often ends a combo with a slightly longer recovery. In Phase 2 (around 60% health), she becomes more aggressive, her combos are longer, and she may summon spectral adds. Deal with the adds quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. Use your companion as a distraction, but be ready to revive them. Rewards include a powerful Agility-scaling Talisman and Vigor.
