Heorot Fight Guide

Master the Lagon boss fight in Last Epoch! Learn mechanics, strategies, and rewards for the Ending the Storm Monolith. Get ready for this challenging encounter.

Alright, so you've made it to Lagon, the big bad of the Ending the Storm Monolith. He's a tough one, for sure, and can really catch you off guard with some massive damage if you're not paying attention. This fight is split into three phases, and you really need to know where to stand and when to move. Let's break down how to handle this watery menace.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Lagon deals significant Lightning, Cold, and Physical damage.
• He has a deadly channeled Moon Beam attack that can instantly kill most characters.
• Tentacles in Phase 2 can stun you.
• Recommended Defensive Stats: 75% Lightning Resistance, 75% Cold Resistance, high movement speed, and strong defensive layers.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Lagon uses his main attacks on a small platform. Focus on dodging his beams and lightning strikes while dealing damage.
2. Phase 2: At 50% health, Lagon teleports you to an arena below. He disappears and summons tentacles. You must kill all tentacles while dodging other incoming attacks like cold waves.
3. Phase 3: After the tentacles are defeated, you return to the main arena. This phase is similar to Phase 1 but Lagon can also use Phase 2 attacks, meaning you'll be dodging elemental attacks, eye beams, and claw attacks simultaneously.

Strategy:

• Stay Mobile: Always keep moving, especially during the tentacle phase. The tentacles can stun you, and other attacks will be coming your way.
• 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 to dodge.
• Positioning is Key: For the Moon Beam attack, as soon as he turns to a side, run to the opposite edge of the arena. When he uses the beam directly in front of him (after 65% HP), move to the side when he lowers his head. Don't linger too much on the arena edges, as sometimes they can trap you for other mechanics.
• Tentacle Phase: Focus on killing the tentacles quickly while still dodging Lagon's other attacks and the small cold waves.
• Phase 3 Adaptation: Be ready for a mix of everything. You'll be juggling dodging beams, claw attacks, and the returning tentacle phase mechanics.
