How to Beat Clay Dunestrider

Master the Clay Dunestrider boss fight in Risk of Rain 2 with this comprehensive guide. Learn its stats, weaknesses, and effective strategies to emerge victorious.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weak Points: The Clay Dunestrider has two large, glowing weak points on its back. These take significantly more damage than the rest of its body.
• Movement: Very slow, making it easy to outmaneuver.
• Attacks: Fires large, slow-moving projectiles that explode on impact, leaving damaging pools. It can also perform a ground slam that creates a shockwave.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Dunestrider moves slowly and primarily uses its projectile attack. Focus fire on its weak points.
2. Phase 2: The Dunestrider may begin to use its ground slam attack in addition to projectiles. Continue to target weak points and dodge its attacks.

Strategy:

• Target Weak Points: Always aim for the glowing weak points on its back. This is crucial for dealing significant damage.
• Kite and Dodge: Its projectiles are slow and leave damaging pools. Keep moving to avoid them and create distance.
• Utilize Mobility: Characters with high mobility can easily outrun its attacks and reposition to target its weak points.
• AoE Damage: While focusing weak points is key, area-of-effect attacks can help clear out the damaging pools it leaves behind.
• Environmental Hazards: Be mindful of the environment, as the damaging pools can quickly fill up areas, limiting your movement.
