How To Defeat The Arbiter of the Worthy: To Of

Learn how to defeat the Arbiter of the Worthy in Outriders: Worldslayer. This guide covers axe swings, shadow clones, tributes, and Dark Armaments attacks.

The Arbiter of the Worthy is the first boss you'll encounter in the Trial of Tarya Gratar, specifically in the Plaza of the Worthy. While it's the easiest of the Arbiters, its attacks can still one-shot you if you're not careful. Let's break down how to handle its moves so you can get through this fight smoothly.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Arbiter of the Worthy has attacks that can easily one-shot players.
• Shadow clones cannot be damaged or slowed.
• Tributes should generally be killed quickly, but ignored during Dark Armaments.

Phases:

1. Axe Swings & Shadow Clones: The boss will leap and swing its axe. Keeping distance is key. It can also pull you in for a close-range hit that's unavoidable. Simultaneously, shadow clones will spawn and move across the arena, swinging their own axes. These clones leave behind dark circles on the floor that drain health and slow you. Avoid these circles at all costs.
2. Tributes: Tributes will periodically spawn. Your priority is to eliminate them quickly, as they also contribute to spawning the dangerous dark circles on the ground. However, if the Arbiter is actively using its 'Dark Armaments' skill, ignore the Tributes and focus solely on dodging the AoE attacks.
3. Dark Armaments: This is the boss's signature AoE attack. It will summon multiple damaging zones across the arena. During this phase, ignore everything else – the boss, the Tributes, the clones – and just focus on running in one direction until the attack concludes.

Strategy:

• Maintain Distance: For the Arbiter's direct axe swings, creating and maintaining a large gap between you and the boss is your best defense. Dodge roll away if it leaps towards you.
• Unavoidable Pull-in: Be prepared for the boss to pull you in. When this happens, you'll need to react quickly to get back out of its immediate range and start recovering health.
• Shadow Clone Awareness: Always be aware of your surroundings. The shadow clones are a constant threat, and their lingering ground effects are just as dangerous. Don't get caught by them, and definitely don't stand in the dark circles they leave behind.
• Tribute Prioritization: Generally, Tributes are a high-priority target. Taking them out prevents more hazardous zones from appearing. But remember the exception: if Dark Armaments is active, survival from the AoEs takes precedence.
• Dark Armaments Evasion: This is a pure survival phase. Pick a direction and commit to running. Don't try to attack or reposition; just keep moving until the AoEs dissipate.
