Boss: Hag of Fervor

  • Stats/Weaknesses: The Hag of Fervor has high health but is a bullet sponge with infrequent attacks. Target its head for critical damage.

  • Strategy: Focus fire on the head. Use elemental damage and Action Skills. Keep moving to avoid the shockwave.

General Tips:

  • Build: A strong build is recommended, especially for completing optional objectives within the time limit (aim to one-shot most enemies).
  • SDU Upgrades: Upgrade your ammo and grenade SDUs as you'll use a lot of resources.
