Boss Fight: Builder
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Weak Point: Head
Phases:
- First Phase: Hit the Builder's head 2-3 times to make him vulnerable to a stun attack. The weak point area may shrink after each hit.
- Second Phase: Initiated at half health. The Builder gains increased attack speed and uses special attacks more frequently. The ground aura attack has a shorter duration. A new shield aura attack is introduced if Havi is caught in it.
Strategy:
- Use the Brush with Death skill (Way of the Raven) to slow time after a successful dodge, allowing for aimed shots at the head.
- Alternatively, get hit by the Builder's magical bolts to be launched into the air, enabling mid-air bow shots at the head.
- If you don't have the Bow Stun Finisher skill (Way of the Wolf), enter melee range when the Builder is vulnerable for a stun attack.
- Avoid the Builder's hammer sweeps and stomps (marked by a circle on the ground).
- Dodge out of the ground aura attack indicated by an aura on the ground before the Builder slams his hammer.
- In the second phase, conserve stamina for dodges as attacks are more frequent and less forgiving.
- Be aware of the new shield aura attack in the second phase.
- The Builder is defeated, and the quest progresses.
