Astel, Stars of Darkness Strategy:
The Astel, Stars of Darkness boss can be found at Yelough Anix Tunnel, in western Mountaintops of the Giants. This fight will almost always begin with the boss firing a beam of magic directly at you, so you’ll need to be ready to dodge / roll away from this. The boss is also capable of creating a circular radius of magic damage on the ground around it, which gradually expands in range with 3 - 4 pulses. This attack is preceded by the boss hovering in the air while generating purple magic balls in its many hands, so be ready to step back as soon as this happens. There are a few grab attacks that the boss will sometimes attempt, each of which are capable of killing you in one hit. The most deadly of these sometimes occurs immediately after the boss has teleported from one part of the room to another, so you’ll need to pay attention to its movements to avoid being caught off guard. You’ll notice that most of the magical attacks used by the boss are preceded by the blue eye lighting up, which is located within the crack of the skull on its head. If you pay attention to whenever this lights up, you’ll be better prepared to respond.
Another highly damaging magical attack comes in the form of a meteor shower. This attack is often preceded by a teleport, and you’ll begin to see purple, circular shapes appear in the air above the boss, which look a bit like black holes. You should attempt to get as far away from the boss as possible once this happens to ensure that you have as much visibility of the meteor shower as possible, thereby allowing you to dodge each rock as it comes hurtling towards you. Although there are numerous rocks summoned, only a handful of them will actually have a chance of hitting you, with most flying directly into the ground around the boss, or in different corners of the room. Only focus on those rocks which are clearly heading your way. Aside from these powerful magical attacks, there are a number of swift pincer moves that you’ll need to look out for, and powerful tail swipes.
Death Rite Bird (night only) Strategy:
The Death Rite Bird (night only) is located at the frozen pool southeast of the Apostate Derelict Site of Grace, in northwest Mountaintops of the Giants. This is essentially the same fight as the one above, with the main difference being the types of magical attacks used. This one can fire balls of magic which will hone in on your location and explode upon impact. They move fairly slowly, but this can be deceptive if you’re not careful. You should aim to dodge or roll out of the way only moments before the ball is about to hit you, and not before.
Erdtree Avatar (Mountaintops of the Giants) Strategy:
The Erdtree Avatar (Mountaintops of the Giants) boss is located at the Erdtree south of the Snow Valley Ruins Overlook Site of Grace, in northeast Mountaintops of the Giants. This fight is similar to other Erdtree Avatars, and it will use most of the same attacks. The only difference here is that as you bring the boss to around half health, it will split in two and a clone of itself will enter the battle. This means that you’ll need to fight two Erdtree Avatars at once, each with the same amount of health and the same attacks. If you want to live through this fight, you’ll need to become familiar with the attack patterns of the hammer strikes. These are potentially the most deadly, since being hit by just one strike can take a big chunk of your health. There’s also the body slam attacks to look out for, during which the boss will leap in the air and land on the same spot, with a shockwave of damage emanating out. You can actually jump in the air just before the boss lands to avoid this damage, but you’ll need to time it perfectly. The easier method is to simply dodge or roll away. The boss will always glow before it executes this attack, giving you plenty of warning. The foot stomp is another attack that you’ll need to look out for, especially since you’ll have less warning when this one is about to be used. Ultimately, ranged classes will have the easiest time with these bosses, as they can be kited around fairly easily as you inflict damage from afar.
Great Wyrm Theodorix Strategy:
The Great Wyrm Theodorix boss is located in the frozen river northeast of the Inner Consecrated Snowfield Site of Grace, in western Mountaintops of the Giants. This boss is capable of using l
