Fell Wyrm (Springlands) — Level 15
Location: Open-world boss arena in southeastern Springlands, near the Ancient Spire.
Recommended Gear: Level 12+ weapons, Scavenger or Soldier armor set.
Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Breath | 180-degree cone, 3-second wind-up | Dodge behind or to the side |
| Tail Sweep | Ground-level 360-degree spin | Jump over it |
| Stomp | Front paw slam, small AoE | Roll backward |
| Charge | Rushes forward 20 meters | Side-step at the last moment |
Phase Breakdown
Phase 1 (100%–60% HP): Slow attacks with clear wind-ups. Fire breath has a 3-second tell — the Wyrm rears its head back and inhales audibly. Use this window to get behind it and land 3–4 hits.
Phase 2 (60%–30% HP): Adds a tail sweep and charge. The tail sweep hits hard (70+ damage) but is easy to jump over. During charge, the Wyrm stops briefly before charging — side-step don't roll backward.
Phase 3 (30%–0% HP): Enrages. Attack speed doubles. Fire breath now has a 1.5-second wind-up only. Pop a health potion at 30% and go aggressive. This phase is a DPS race.
Strategy
Melee: Stay at the flanks (between front and back legs). This avoids both fire breath and tail sweep. Two heavy attacks then roll out.
Ranged: Keep 15+ meters distance. Headshots do 2x damage. Fire breath can't reach you at max range. Watch for the charge.
Magic: Frost wand + frost staff. Ice damage is 50% more effective against Wyrms. Frost staff's AoE blast can stagger the Wyrm out of its fire breath wind-up.

Hollow Lord (Springlands Vault) — Level 18
Location: Inside the Springlands Sun Temple Vault. Requires a Vault Stone (found at the pillar leading to the temple).
Recommended Gear: Level 16+, fire weapon recommended. Bring lockpicks.
Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Soul Bolt | 3-projectile magic spread | Side-step between bolts |
| Shield Charge | Rushes with shield up (blocking frontal damage) | Dodge to side, attack from behind |
| Seal Phase | Creates 4 Seal Crystals at 75% HP | Destroy all 4 within 60 seconds |
| Shadow Burst | AoE around boss (75%+ mana cost for you) | Move 10m+ away |
Phase Breakdown
Phase 1 (100%–75% HP): Slow melee combos and Soul Bolts. Easy. Use fire weapons for 40% extra damage.
Phase 2 (75%–40% HP — Seal Phase): The boss becomes invulnerable and spawns 4 Seal Crystals around the arena. You have 60 seconds to destroy all 4. Each crystal has 500 HP. If you fail, the boss heals 20% and resummons them. Priority: Destroy crystals immediately. Use AoE spells or explosives for quick clears.
Phase 3 (40%–0% HP): Boss drops the shield and goes berserk. Spams Shadow Burst and Shield Charge in rapid succession. Keep moving. Attack after dodging a charge — the boss is stunned for 2 seconds after missing.
Guaranteed Drops
| Item | Use |
|---|---|
| Hollow Core x1 | Tier 4 crafting material |
| Soul Crystal x1–2 | Mana potion ingredient |
| Vault Key Fragment | Combine 3 for Vault Key |
| Hollow Lord's Helm blueprint | Heavy helmet, 28 defense |
Rare Drop (20%): Soul Reaper Staff — fires homing soul projectiles.
Fell Wyrm (Revelwood) — Level 25
Location: Deep within Revelwood forest, near the Pink Apple Grove.
Differences from Springlands Wyrm: Same base moveset but adds poison pools, 50% more HP, and faster attack speed. Bring anti-poot.
| New Attack | Description | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Poison Pool | Vomits poison puddle (lingers 30s, 15 damage/tick) | Stay mobile, never stand still |
| Toxic Roar | AoE poison + stagger | Block or dodge through it |
| Add Spawn | Summons 2 Fell Spitters every 45 seconds in Phase 2+ | Kill adds immediately |
Strategy
Key Difference: Don't stand in one place for more than 3 seconds — poison pools will accumulate under you. Kite the Wyrm around the arena. When adds spawn, switch to them immediately. A single Spitter can poison you for 50% of your HP.
Recommended Weapon: Ice damage is best. The Fell Stinger (bow, dropped by this boss on rare proc) is ideal for ranged.
Hollow Lord (Kindlewastes) — Level 28
Location: Kindlewastes Obsidian Vault. Requires Obsidian Vault Stone.
Changes from Springlands version: Triple seal crystals (1,200 HP each), add spawns every 30 seconds in Phase 2+, and the boss moves 40% faster.
| New Mechanic | Description |
|---|---|
| Triple Seals | 3 crystals must be destroyed simultaneously (within 5 seconds of each other) or they all respawn |
| Add Waves | 3 Fell Warriors spawn every 30 seconds in Phase 2 |
| Lava Floor | Floor tiles glow red before erupting — move off them within 2 seconds |
Strategy
Phase 2 (Seal Phase): This is the hardest mechanic. Damage all 3 crystals evenly until they're all at ~10% HP, then destroy them in quick succession. Use AoE to damage multiple at once. Clear adds before focusing crystals.
Phase 3: Kite around the arena avoiding lava tiles. The boss's Shadow Burst now covers a 15m radius — much larger than the Springlands version.
Fell Dragon (Albaneve Summits) — Level 30+
Location: Dragon's Peak, the highest point in Albaneve Summits. Requires Dragon Key (drops from both Hollow Lords and both Wyrms).
Recommended Gear: Level 30+ with legendary weapons. Full Radiant Paladin or Fell Nightmare set. Bring 20+ bandages and 5+ health potions.
Phase Breakdown
Phase 1 — Ground (100%–70% HP) | Attack | Counter | |--------|---------| | Bite (frontal cone) | Dodge sideways | | Wing Sweep (wide arc) | Block (heavy damage reduction) | | Tail Slam (behind) | Don't stand behind — massive damage | | Fire Breath (cone) | Run to the side, not backward |
Phase 2 — Flight (70%–40% HP) The dragon takes off and rains fireballs from above. Use the grapple points around the arena edges to reach floating platforms. On platforms, you can melee the dragon's wings.
| Attack | Counter |
|---|---|
| Fireball Barrage (10 orbs) | Grapple to a different platform |
| Wing Gust (knockback) | Face into the gust to reduce push |
| Dive Bomb (instant kill) | Grapple hook to a platform LAST SECOND |
Phase 3 — Enrage (40%–0% HP) Dragon returns to ground but moves at double speed. All cooldowns halved. This is a pure DPS check.
Strategy: Pop all cooldowns at 40% and go ham. Use healing potions on cooldown. The dragon's fire breath during enrage is a 360-degree AoE — you can't outrun it, only outheal it or block it.
Save your stamina for dodging. Don't waste it on sprint attacks.

Shroud Beast — Level 32+

Mechanics: The boss is immune to all damage until you destroy 3 Shroud Orbs in the arena. Orbs regenerate after 45 seconds. You must deal 20% of the boss's HP per orb phase.
Weakness: Radiant (light) damage. Hollow weapons deal reduced damage.

Boss Preparation Checklist
- Check elemental weakness — equip the right weapon type before entering the arena
- Repair all gear — broken armor mid-fight is a death sentence
- Craft potions — 5 health, 3 mana, 1 anti-poison/anti-fire as needed
- Clear inventory — you'll get valuable drops and don't want to leave them behind
- Set your respawn point — place a bedroll outside the boss arena
- Eat a full meal — food buffs last 25+ minutes and provide stat bonuses
- Bring a friend — bosses scale for multiplayer but having a healer makes every fight easier
- Study the arena — know where the grapple points, cover, and hazards are before engaging
- Stock arrows/potions — running out of ammo mid-fight is a common mistake
- Use a Vault Stone — marks the vault so you can return after death
