Alright, Tarnished, ready to brave the heat? Volcano Manor is a tricky place, packed with some serious challenges. We're going to break down every boss you'll encounter here, so you know exactly what you're up against. Let's get to it!
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Abductor Virgins (Wheel & Swinging Sickle): Found in the Subterranean Inquisition Chamber. Drops Inquisitor’s Girandole and 10,000 Runes.
- Godskin Noble (Volcano Manor): Located in the Temple of Eiglay. Drops the Godskin Noble Armor Set.
- Inquisitor Ghiza: An invader in the upper hall of Volcano Manor. Drops Furlcalling Finger Remedy and Ghiza’s Wheel.
- Magma Wyrm: South of Fort Laied in a magma pool. Drops a Dragon Heart.
- Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy: The main boss of Volcano Manor. Drops Rykard’s Great Rune and Remembrance of the Blasphemous.
Phases:
- Abductor Virgins: You'll face two distinct Abductor Virgins. One wields a large wheel, the other a swinging sickle. They attack in tandem, so managing their positions is key.
- Godskin Noble: This boss can be a bit of a slippery one, often rolling around the arena. Watch out for its ranged attacks and its powerful melee combos.
- Inquisitor Ghiza: This invader is notable for wielding the massive Ghiza's Wheel. Be prepared for wide, sweeping attacks and a lot of damage.
- Magma Wyrm: Expect a lot of fire breath and magma attacks. Staying mobile and looking for openings after its big attacks is crucial.
- Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy: This is a multi-stage fight. You'll initially face Rykard in his serpent form, then later in a more humanoid form. The fight utilizes a special weapon, the Serpent-Hunter, which you can pick up in the arena.
Strategy:
- Getting to the Abductor Virgins: You can be abducted by a virgin at the bottom of the Academy of Raya Lucaria, or find a hidden path down from the Temple of Eiglay within Volcano Manor. Once you fall through the floor in the cave, you'll find the fog wall leading to their arena.
- Godskin Noble: While this boss appears in other locations, the Volcano Manor version drops a full armor set. Focus on dodging its rolls and finding openings to attack.
- Inquisitor Ghiza: This invader is tough, especially with the Ghiza's Wheel. Try to stay behind it or circle strafe to avoid its wide attacks. The weapon itself is a great reward if you can manage to defeat him.
- Magma Wyrm: Keep your distance when it breathes fire and watch out for the magma pools it creates. Use the terrain to your advantage if possible.
- Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy: Absolutely use the Serpent-Hunter weapon provided in the arena. It's specifically designed for this fight and makes it significantly easier. Don't be afraid to use it, even if you have other powerful weapons. Rykard has a large health pool, so chip away at him, dodge his devastating attacks, and stay aggressive when you have an opening. The fight has a unique mechanic where you can use the Serpent-Hunter to interrupt some of his more powerful attacks.
