Guide to defeating Tukohama, Karui God of War in Path of Exile Act 6. Learn boss stats, weaknesses, phases, and effective strategies for this challenging encounter.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Tukohama is a fire-based enemy, making cold and lightning damage more effective.
• High physical and fire resistances.
• Vulnerable to crowd control effects like stuns and slows, though resistances may increase over time.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Tukohama fights directly, utilizing powerful melee attacks and fire-based AoE abilities. He summons smaller Karui warriors to aid him.
2. Phase 2: After losing a portion of his health, Tukohama retreats and summons a large number of totems that bombard the arena with fire projectiles. He remains stationary during this phase, making him an easier target if you can avoid the projectiles.
3. Phase 3: Tukohama returns to direct combat, now empowered with increased speed and more aggressive attack patterns. He may also utilize a powerful charge attack.

Strategy:

• Phase 1: Focus on dodging Tukohama's melee swings and fire AoEs. Kill the summoned Karui warriors quickly to prevent being overwhelmed. Use your movement skills to reposition effectively.
• Phase 2: Prioritize destroying the totems as they spawn. Keep moving to avoid the barrage of fire projectiles. You can use area-of-effect skills to damage multiple totems at once.
• Phase 3: Be prepared for increased aggression. Continue to dodge and weave, focusing damage on Tukohama when openings arise. Be especially wary of his charge attack, which can deal significant damage. Consider using defensive flasks or abilities to mitigate damage during this phase.
