Alright, let's talk about Lagon, the final boss of the Ending the Storm Monolith. This guy is a real challenge, especially with his one-shot mechanics and other attacks that can really punish you if you're not prepared. You'll be fighting him in the Eye of the Storm, and it's split into three distinct phases. Knowing where to stand and when to move is absolutely key here.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Recommended Defensive Stats: 75% Lightning Resistance, 75% Cold Resistance. High movement speed and mobility skills are essential, along with strong defensive layers.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Arena Platform
   You'll start on a small platform. Your main focus here is dodging Lagon's devastating beams and lightning strikes while trying to deal as much damage as possible. Keep moving!
2. Phase 2: Tentacle Terror
   Once Lagon hits 50% health, he'll teleport you to an arena below. He disappears and summons tentacles. You need to destroy all of them to move on to Phase 3. Be careful, these tentacles can stun you, and other attacks will still be coming your way, including small cold waves. Keep an eye out for everything and evade those waves!
3. Phase 3: The Combined Assault
   After the tentacles are dealt with, you'll return to a phase similar to the first one. However, Lagon can now use attacks from Phase 2 alongside his usual eye beams and claw attacks. It's a hectic mix, so stay sharp and keep dodging.

Strategy:

• Stay Mobile: Always be moving, especially in Phase 2 with the tentacles. Lots of attacks come at you, and those tentacles can easily stun you, leaving you vulnerable.
• Watch Lagon's Movements: Most of his attacks are telegraphed. If he lifts his claws, looks to the sides, or lowers his head, react quickly. That's your cue to dodge.
• Don't Linger on the Edge: While the arena edge might seem safe for some attacks, it can also trap you for others. Be aware of your positioning.

Unique Boss-Specific Rewards:

Lagon can drop some sweet unique items. Alluvion and Coral Aegis are common drops, with a 50% chance for one of them each kill. They can drop in Normal or Empowered versions and aren't affected by Corruption. Stormcarved Testament is a rarer drop, more likely in Empowered Monoliths at higher Corruption. Eye of Storms is another rare weapon exclusive to Empowered timelines, with its drop rate increasing with Corruption.

Monolith Blessings Available:

You can obtain various blessings from Normal and Empowered Monoliths, including Bastion of Divinity, Chaos of Lagon, Crash of the Waves, Cruelty of the Meruna, Grace of Water, Intellect of Liath, Light of the Moon, Might of the Sea Titan, Mysteries of the Deep, Resonance of the Sea, Rhythm of the Tide, Trance of the Sirens, and Weight of the Abyss. Empowered Monoliths offer their 'Grand' versions.

Harbinger of Chaos Mechanics:

When you encounter the Harbinger of Chaos, she'll use some familiar moves and some new ones. She retains Lagon's small cold waves and a version of his channeled Moon Beam, though hers is smaller and less lethal. She also uses Portal Spear, Spear Beam, Spear Dash, Spear Thrust, Void Blast, Void Slam, Void Rush, and Void Slash. Watch out for Void Spears, which apply Frailty and Shred Armor. Her unique drops include the Black Blade of Chaos and Harbinger's Needle. She also drops the Harbinger Eye, needed to summon Aberroth.
