Strategy

  • Move laterally when targeted areas mark incoming Shroud spray.
  • Leave the line in front of the boss when it prepares Shroud breath.
  • Do not brush against every calcified statue in the arena: some can produce Fell Berserkers.
  • If an add appears, create space and remove it before returning to the boss.
  • Save burst damage for a clean window instead of casting while the arena becomes crowded.

Before the fight

This encounter is tied to Alchemist progression as well as the Flame, so complete nearby Alchemist quests first if you want both rewards in one trip. See the full boss preparation checklist.
