Boss guide for The Celestial Serpent in Onirism. Learn attack patterns, weaknesses, and strategies for this Cloud Kingdom boss. Recommended gear and rewards.
The Celestial Serpent is a magnificent, ethereal dragon that guards the highest reaches of The Cloud Kingdom. This boss fight is a dynamic aerial encounter, heavily relying on precise platforming and ranged combat.
Location:
The highest point of the Sky Temple, after restoring all three Celestial Orbs.
Phases & Attacks:
- Phase 1 (Wind Breath & Tail Swipe): The Serpent will fly around the arena, occasionally swooping down to unleash a powerful Wind Breath attack that pushes Carol. It will also perform a Tail Swipe across the platforms.
- Phase 2 (Starfall & Cloud Summon): At around 60% health, the Serpent will ascend higher and summon Starfall projectiles that rain down on the platforms. It will also summon Cloud Wisps to harass Carol.
- Phase 3 (Lightning Storm & Enraged Dive): Below 30% health, the Serpent will generate a Lightning Storm, electrifying random platforms. It will also perform rapid Enraged Dives, attempting to ram Carol.
Weaknesses & Strategy:
- Weakness: Its glowing head and the crystal formations along its body, especially when it's close to a platform. Ice damage (if available) is effective.
- Strategy: This fight is primarily ranged. Stay on the platforms and use your double jump and dash to avoid attacks. When the Serpent swoops close, target its head or the body crystals with your most powerful ranged attacks. Clear Cloud Wisps quickly. During Starfall, keep moving and use the environment for cover. For Lightning Storm, identify and move to safe, non-electrified platforms. During Enraged Dives, time your dodges perfectly. The Jetpack gadget can be invaluable for repositioning or getting extra airtime to avoid attacks.
Recommended Gear:
- Weapon: Plasma Rifle or Arc Cannon for consistent ranged damage.
- Gadget: Jetpack for mobility, Stun Grenade to briefly ground Cloud Wisps.
- Charm: Featherlight Charm for fall damage reduction, Charm of Focus for critical hits.
Rewards:
Large amount of Dream Shards, Celestial Scale (crafting material), and unlocks the final chapter.
