Prepare for the fight against the Prophet

The Prophet is a boss you find in the Shattered Ascent. This fight unfolds over several phases, and to win, it's essential to properly learn its attack patterns, and dodge or counterattack accordingly.

Even before starting the fight, make sure you've properly equipped your character. Wear the weapons and armor that give you the best tactical options, and bring back as many potions and healing items as possible. Also familiarize yourself with the terrain to anticipate the Prophet's movements.

Phase 1

At the start of the fight, the Prophet is only protected by a small group of enemies. Attack the creatures around him, focusing your efforts to weaken him. Once the small enemies are defeated, the Prophet will reveal himself, and you'll see his heart. This is the ideal moment to attack him and deal heavy damage.

Note

He will throw projectiles, use dodges whenever possible to avoid damage.

Phase 2: The fight intensifies

Once you've dealt enough damage to him, phase 2 begins, more complex and requiring greater attention. The Prophet will call in creatures as reinforcements, and you need to get rid of them as quickly as possible so you aren't overwhelmed by their numbers.

Tips

Some enemies drop aether, useful for strengthening your abilities. The Prophet unleashes waves of projectiles, learn to anticipate them to dodge properly.

Phase 3: The final battle

The last phase of the fight is obviously the hardest, and the Prophet himself becomes more aggressive. He will close off the arena, so your room to maneuver will be reduced. It's essential to stay mobile to avoid his attacks, and gradually learn to handle them with confidence.

Tip

A perfect reload lets you increase your firepower, so systematically aim for a perfect reload every time to deal maximum damage to him.
