How to defeat Salissa
| Life bar | Weakness |
|---|---|
| Blue Shield Bar | Weak against Lightning Damage |
| Red Health Bar | Weak against Fire Damage |
When you elevate to Salissa’s platform, she will avoid your initial attacks and create multiple water geysers to attack you. Then the boss battle really begins as she will summon 3 Coiled enemies to assist her in the fight.
Defeat the coiled enemies as they can perform magic spells at a distance which really raises the difficulty of this encounter. As long as you keep moving around you can basically avoid most of Salissa’s attacks. Some of her spells have a wide range therefore it’s best not to slow down.
| Trigger | Attack | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Swing With Staff | Lobs a Lightning Orb at you | Strafe to the side |
| Raises Staff up into the air and creates an upwards spark | Summons a Lightning Strike at your location | Move away |
| Raises Staff and Slams it into the ground | Summons a rock spike underneath you (Known as a Fang) | Move away and destroy the rock |
| Rotates Staff upside down and taps the ground | Summons water geysers around you | Move away |
When you manage to drain the Blue Shield Bar, Salissa will move into the center of the arena and will become immune to all damage as her life bar is locked away.
2 Landsharks will spawn when the boss is in her protective bubble. This barrier will disappear once you eliminate the Landshark. Coiled Enemies will continue to spawn and Salissa will also attack you. Therefore, you must prioritize the Landshark so that you can defeat the boss.
The Coiled Enemies will receive an AoE around them during this second phase of the boss battle. It was always advised to keep your distance from them but close encounters can really drain your Ward and therefore your health bar.
The Boss will continue to cycle through her available attacks. So create breathing room by taking out the Coiled enemies and then focus fire on the boss.
