Boss: The Rampager
Strategy:
- The arena is large; constantly move to avoid The Rampager's attacks. Use pillars for cover if necessary.
- The Rampager leaps quickly and deals massive damage with its shockwave upon landing.
- Avoid its rapid elemental blasts by moving while shooting. Never remain stationary.
- The Rampager's weak point is its ribcage, not its head.
- When enough damage is dealt to the ribcage, it will fall, allowing you to attack its head.
- Deal with adds (Wraiths) that spawn throughout the fight. Use them for health, ammo, or Second Wind.
