Boss Guide

Methodical ranged attacks, slow patrol route. Uses a sweeping cannon arc every 20 seconds. The arc has a wind-up animation — dodge sideways, not backward. Moderate movement speed.

Speed increases. Adds a shoulder-mounted rapid-fire sequence targeting the highest-aggro character. New ability: Shield Slam stomp — grounds anyone in melee range for 2 seconds. Call your companions out of melee range before it activates.

Summons two Automata drones. Drones are 20% health but interrupt your casts. Kill drones first or your spellcasters lose half their output. The Warden itself slows down in Phase 3 — this is your window to burst it.

Fights at mid-range, directing her two guards. Uses tactical movement to keep guards between you and her. Guards use Shield Formation — heavily resist knockback. Use status effects to separate them before engaging directly.

After guards fall, Ardis draws her garrote wire and closes to melee. Her fighting style shifts to extremely aggressive grapple attacks that Prone your character on hit. High Resolve or Steadfast armor enchant prevents the Prone. She also activates a personal damage aura — don't cluster companions around her.

Applies a self-buff that grants +30% damage and makes her immune to Blind. Her attacks now Bleed on every hit. Bring Antidote consumables. A Paralysis window here is valuable — Giatta's Pull of Eora followed by your hardest-hitting ability ends Phase 3 quickly.

Medium movement speed. Primary attack is a dream-pulse AoE centred on itself — 5m radius, 2-second wind-up animation clearly visible. It also summons Dreamshades (adds) on a 30-second timer. Dreamshades die in 2–3 hits but apply Confused if they reach a party member.

The Corrupted roots itself in place and expands its aura radius to 8m. Becomes stationary but increases add spawn rate and starts firing nightmare bolts at range. Use the stationary phase to deal maximum burst damage from outside the aura. Best DPS window in the fight.

Returns to mobile. The fight area itself starts spawning Dreamscourge patches on the ground — avoid standing in them (Slow + Spirit damage). The Corrupted gains an Enrage buff (+40% damage). This phase requires constant movement. Fire damage and Burning status are most effective here.

Aggressive melee fighter. Uses coordinated attacks with two Garrote soldiers. The soldiers use interrupt abilities — prioritize them or your cast rotation stalls continuously. Calvar himself uses a Shield Bash variant that stuns for 3 seconds. Interrupt the stun with your own CC before it lands.

Activates his resonance device. Your Godlike passive is suppressed for the remainder of Phase 2. He also draws a two-handed weapon and begins using sweeping attacks that hit the entire front arc. Reposition to fight him from the side. He gains a persistent Damage Reduction aura — Corrosive enchant on your weapon stacks through it.

Suppression device breaks (your passive returns). Calvar enters a berserk state — his attacks are now the fastest in the game. He will attempt a 5-hit killing combo on the lowest-health party member if left uninterrupted. A single well-timed Paralysis or Stun check during his combo animation breaks it. Then burst him down — he has very low health remaining at this point.

The entity fights through dream-projections — copies of itself that share its health pool but deal less damage. Identifying the real one: the real entity casts a ground-ring animation before its major attack; projections don't. Focus the entity with the ground ring. Projections despawn when the real one drops below 65%.

Four dream-anchors appear. Destroy two (they have low health) immediately — this halves the healing passive. The boss now fights directly with full divine ability set: mind-spike ranged attacks (inflict Confused), a cone attack that Blinds, and a summoned nightmare guardian (high-health add, kill it with AoE). This is the longest phase — sustainable healing from Giatta is essential.

Unique to your Godlike type — your god's influence begins affecting the fight. Fire Godlike: boss takes +20% fire damage. Moon Godlike: Silver Tide heals 3× faster. Death Godlike: Deaths' Usher stacks accumulate twice as fast from add kills. Nature Godlike: Wild Growth surge available twice. Use it immediately when Phase 3 begins. Boss also activates an enrage timer — 3 minutes before damage cap. If you've managed Phase 2 well, you have plenty of time.
