How to Beat The Corrupted Elder of Oakhaven

Defeat The Corrupted Elder of Oakhaven in Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree using fire damage and hit-and-run tactics to dodge his arcane burst.

The Corrupted Elder is your first major boss encounter, found at the end of Oakhaven. He wields a large, gnarled staff and primarily uses slow, sweeping melee attacks and a short-range arcane burst. Phases: One. Weakness: Fire damage. Resistances: Arcane. Strategy: The Elder is slow, making him susceptible to hit-and-run tactics. Dodge his staff swings by rolling behind him and punish his recovery. When he charges his arcane burst (indicated by a purple glow), quickly get out of range. If you have any Fire Bombs or fire-infused weapons, use them. Stay mobile and don't get greedy with attacks. Rewards: Elder's Staff (weapon), Corrupted Heartwood (crafting material), 1500 is.
