Boss Fight: Builder

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Weak Point: Head

Phases:

  1. First Phase: Hit the Builder's head 2-3 times to make him vulnerable to a stun attack. The weak point area may shrink after each hit.
  2. Second Phase: Initiated at half health. The Builder gains increased attack speed and uses special attacks more frequently. The ground aura attack has a shorter duration. A new shield aura attack is introduced if Havi is caught in it.

Strategy:

  • Use the Brush with Death skill (Way of the Raven) to slow time after a successful dodge, allowing for aimed shots at the head.
  • Alternatively, get hit by the Builder's magical bolts to be launched into the air, enabling mid-air bow shots at the head.
  • If you don't have the Bow Stun Finisher skill (Way of the Wolf), enter melee range when the Builder is vulnerable for a stun attack.
  • Avoid the Builder's hammer sweeps and stomps (marked by a circle on the ground).
  • Dodge out of the ground aura attack indicated by an aura on the ground before the Builder slams his hammer.
  • In the second phase, conserve stamina for dodges as attacks are more frequent and less forgiving.
  • Be aware of the new shield aura attack in the second phase.
  • The Builder is defeated, and the quest progresses.
