Alright, so you've made it this far in Albion, but now it's time to face the real challenges: the bosses! These guys can be tough, but don't worry, I've got the rundown on all of them. We'll go over their stats, what they're weak against, and how to put them down for good.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Wasp Queen — Health: 400, Experience: 0, Renown: 50. Weakness: Sharpening Augmentation, melee attacks. Resistance: None. Attacks: Strike (30 Damage), Wasp Summon.

• Twinblade — Health: 3000, Experience: 100, Renown: 120. Weakness: Sharpening Augmentation, attacks while his blades are stuck in the ground. Resistance: All attacks when blades are free. Attacks: Twinblade's Sword (120 Damage), Twinblade's Sword (Ranged - 120 Damage).
• Scorpion King — Health: 7000, Experience: 200, Renown: 300. Weakness: Sharpening Augmentation, Piercing Augmentation. Resistance: Everything except Weaknesses. Attacks: Tail Strike (500 Damage), Claws (300 Damage).

• Jack Of Blades — Health: 10000, Experience: 5000, Renown: 20000. Weakness: Sharpening Augmentation. Resistance: Everything but Weakness. Attacks: Sword Of Aeons (500 Damage).

Strategy:

• For most bosses, especially those with high damage like the Scorpion King or Kraken Tentacle, your best bet is to keep your distance and use ranged attacks if possible. However, the Wasp Queen is actually quite vulnerable to close-up melee combat, especially if you've got a good Sharpening Augmentation on your weapon.
• Whisper is a bit of a pushover if you've invested in Sharpening Augmentations. Just keep hitting her; her staff attacks are powerful but telegraphed.
• Twinblade is tricky. You absolutely want to exploit the moments when his blades are stuck in the ground. That's your window to get in some serious damage. Otherwise, he's pretty resistant.
• The Scorpion King and Thunder are both pretty beefy. They resist almost everything, so again, Sharpening and Piercing Augmentations are key. Dodge their heavy hits and chip away.
• Fighting the Kraken involves two stages: the Tentacle and the Head. For the tentacle, use Sharpening and Fire Augmentations or spells. For the Head, it's more of the same with Sharpening and Fire. Keep moving to avoid those big attacks.
• Jack of Blades is the final hurdle. He's got a massive health pool and hits like a truck with the Sword of Aeons. Your Sharpening Augmentation is going to be your best friend here. Stay focused, dodge his swings, and don't let his high renown gain fool you into getting reckless.
