BOSS: Root Lurker (2)

Learn the Root Lurker (2) boss fight strategy in Eternal Strands! Discover its HP, recommended level, dangerous attacks like Bo Peep and Trip to Pain, and how to counter them.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 315,790
• Recommended Level: 30

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Standard Combat - The Root Lurker will use its signature attacks.

Strategy:

• The Root Lurker might seem tough with its high HP, but don't let that discourage you. You've got the numbers advantage here!
• Viola's Role: Keep Viola on healing duty using Heal Arrow. She's your main healer, so make sure everyone stays topped up. If the party is healthy, she can switch to Sacred Strike. Try to use Harmony Chains with her to unleash both her Special Attacks simultaneously. Don't forget to use those Diamond Clovers!
• The Twins' Role: Have Salsa and March focus on stalking the Root Lurker and unleashing their most powerful Special Attacks. Salsa performs best with Deadly Orbit, and March with Super Nova. Again, Harmony Chains are your best friend here for maximizing damage.
• Salsa's Deadly Orbit: To get Salsa to use Deadly Orbit effectively, have her position herself in the Root Lurker's shadow. Since the boss is a huge target, the only shade available is on the outer edges of the arena.
• Dangerous Attacks to Watch For:
  • Bo Peep: Deals about 2000 damage and inflicts Passive, which prevents counterattacks.
  • Trip to Pain: Hits for around 3200 damage and causes the Root Lurker to cover a large distance, potentially reaching distant party members. Be ready to reposition!
  • Roar: A final attack that targets everyone around the boss, dealing about 3000 damage.
• Reward: Upon silencing the Root Lurker, your party will obtain a Crimson Brooch and Herebra.
