How to Beat Drowned Leviathan

Detailed boss guide for the Drowned Leviathan in Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, covering attack patterns, phases, weaknesses, and recommended strategies.

The Drowned Leviathan is a massive, serpentine Blighted creature encountered in the Sunken City. This boss fight takes place in a large, partially submerged arena, requiring good spatial awareness.

Attack Patterns:

• Tail Slam: The Leviathan raises its tail and slams it down, creating a wide shockwave across the water.
• Water Jet: It fires a powerful, continuous jet of water across the arena.
• Blighted Spores: Releases clouds of Blighted spores that deal continuous damage if Lily stands in them.
• Submerge & Charge: At lower health, it will submerge and then charge across the arena, indicated by ripples in the water.
• Bite Attack: If Lily is too close to its head, it might perform a quick bite.

Phases:

The Leviathan has two phases. Phase 1 focuses on its basic attacks. Phase 2 (below 50% health) introduces the Submerge & Charge attack and increases the frequency of its other abilities.

Weaknesses:

Its head is the primary weak point. Consistent hits to the head fill its Blight Gauge faster. No specific elemental weaknesses.

Recommended Spirits & Strategy:

• Primary Spirit: Guardian Knight. For consistent melee damage to its head when it surfaces.
• Secondary Spirit: Sentinel's Shield. Crucial for blocking the Water Jet and providing temporary defense.

Strategy: The arena has several elevated platforms. Use these to your advantage to avoid the Tail Slam shockwaves and gain a better angle for attacking the Leviathan's head when it surfaces. When it performs the Water Jet, use your Sentinel's Shield to block it, or dodge through it if you're confident. For the Tail Slam, jump over the shockwave. When it releases Blighted Spores, quickly move out of the affected area. In Phase 2, when it performs Submerge & Charge, watch for the ripples in the water to predict its path and dodge accordingly. Focus all your attacks on its head. When its Blight Gauge fills, it will be stunned, allowing you to unleash a barrage of Guardian Knight attacks. Manage your Spirit Gauge for Sentinel's Shield and your healing items. This fight is about managing space and reacting to its large-scale attacks. Upon its defeat, purify its essence to gain the Leviathan's Grasp Spirit, which is vital for future exploration.
