Walkthrough

1
First things first, fast travel to Pershing St. and head northeast. You're looking for a specific spot where a ritual went down.
2
When you get there, you'll see a body that's just fallen over to your right. Examine it and grab the Maelstrom Cultist’s Shard.
3
Now, open your menu, go to the Shard tab, and interact with the shard. You'll see an option to hack it – go ahead and do that.
4
After the shard's done its thing, keep scanning the immediate area. Zaria won't show up until you've done a bit of investigating.
5
Eventually, Zaria Hughes will appear. She's got Mantis Arms, uses firearms, and can warp around the place, which makes hitting her a real pain.
6
Strategy: Your best bet here is to use the Cyberware Malfunction Quick Hack. This will stop her from warping for a bit, making her much easier to deal with.
7
Once she's grounded, take advantage of any explosive barrels nearby to deal some serious damage. Then, switch to your most powerful weapons and aim for headshots.

Tips

The Cyberware Malfunction Quick Hack is key to making this fight manageable. Don't try to brute force her while she's teleporting around.
Keep moving and use the environment to your advantage, especially those explosive barrels.
If you're struggling to land shots, try using weapons with a wider spread or those that lock onto targets.
