Find and defeat Solarus the Immaculate in v rising. Learn his attacks and strategy, including crafting a Holy Resistance Potion.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate the Fortress of Light in the eastern part of the Silverlight Hills, east of Brighthaven or north of Emberleaf Grove.
- 2Enter the fortress. If you lack sufficient Holy Resistance, you will sustain Holy Radiation Damage.
- 3Engage Solarus the Immaculate. The fight has four phases:
- 4Phase 1 (100% - 50% health): Fight Solarus alone.
- 5Phase 2 (50% - 20% health): A Divine Angel spawns as Solarus' ally. Fight both until Solarus reaches 20% health.
- 6Phase 3 (Below 20% health): Solarus casts a holy barrier and regenerates health. Defeat the Divine Angel to 1 health, turning it into a Fallen Angel.
- 7Phase 4 (Fallen Angel phase): Solarus heals to 90% and removes his shield. The Fallen Angel attacks Solarus, aiding you. Avoid hitting the Fallen Angel to prevent it from attacking you.
Solarus the Immaculate Attacks:
- Light Orbs: Solarus spawns two orbs that release more orbs around the arena. Run to the back and sidestep or dodge incoming orbs.
- Holy Charge: A charge attack often followed by holy light orbs in a triangular shape. Dodge through the charge or run to the side if your dodge is on cooldown.
- Swipe Attack: A swift swipe with decent range, sometimes followed by a second swipe. Stay at a distance until the attack finishes.
- Spinning Wheels: A two-hit attack (horizontal swipe then downward slash) that unleashes spinning wheels splitting into two, moving in an X shape behind Solarus. Dodge toward Solarus and attack from behind; the wheels will miss if you are directly behind him.
- Light Rays: Solarus stabs his sword into the ground, unleashing side-to-side moving light rays. Stand at the back of the arena in line with Solarus to avoid most rays; be ready to dodge the last one or two.
- Holy Barrier - Beams of Light (Below 20% health): Solarus becomes invulnerable and regenerates health. Beams of light travel across the arena. Reduce the Divine Angel's health to 25-35% before this phase to mitigate Solarus' regeneration. Defeat the Divine Angel quickly while avoiding beams.
Divine Angel Attacks:
- Charge and Thousand Spears: The Angel charges, inflicting significant damage, and can swipe twice or stab forward.
- Light Rays: Identical to Solarus' Light Rays, but Solarus may also attack simultaneously. Stand in a corner if both cast Light Rays.
- Balls of Light: The Angel fires a set of three balls of light. Move side to side to avoid them.
- Holy Barrier/Fallen Angel: When the Angel's health is depleted, it uses a barrier, heals, and becomes a Fallen Angel that attacks Solarus.
Tips

- Maintain distance during Solarus' Swipe Attack and Spinning Wheels.
- Dodge towards Solarus during Spinning Wheels to avoid the projectiles.
- Prioritize defeating the Divine Angel during Solarus' Holy Barrier phase.
