How To Beat Alpha Boss Astegon
Alpha Boss Astegon is aDragon and DarkElemental Pal with bothstaggeringlyhigh attack and defense stats.With such a high defense stat, this fight will last you quite some time, socome prepared with multiple strong pals.
To even the oddsagainst the boss, it’s crucial for you and your pals toeat stat-boosting foods:
+ 10% Defense
Alpha Boss Astegon’s incredible attack comes at the cost of its agility;it is surprisingly unwieldy.
Alpha Boss Astegon is so slow thatyou can make it completely stop using attacksif you position yourself correctly.Stand just underneath the flying Alpha Boss Astegon, following the exact same path it takes, and continue to attack it without stopping your movement.
If you perform this correctly, Alpha Boss Astegon will beunable to get far enough out of range of you to ever start its next attack.
This lack of speed is advantageous for you and your Pals; use your stamina to run and roll to out-maneuver Alpha Boss Astegon.
The Destroyed Mineshaft is a perilous arena that Alpha Boss Astegon calls home. In this cave, there areseveral pits of lava near the walls. Watch your step as you run and tumble around this molten groundor else you will be set on fire.
Let’s explore how to effectively handle each move that Alpha Boss Astegon will throw at you so you don’t accidentally end up in the lava.
Move: Dragon Cannon
Dragon Cannon has a very low cooldown, soit will be used all the time, with Alpha Boss Astegon sometimesusing it multiple times in a row.
TheDestroyed Mineshaft is a very close-quarters space, so the projectile from Dragon Cannon has much less distance to cover and is very hard to dodge by just reaction alone.
Since this move will be used all the time, you shouldnever stop moving during this encounter. But remember that there are still lava pits near the walls.
Move: Spirit Flame
Spirit Flame is a pesky move in whichthree projectiles lock ontoa target and follow it for a short time. This homing property is further worsened by thesmall amount of room available to run in this mineshaft.
Move: Dragon Burst
Alpha Boss Astegon will onlyattempt to move closer to you before using Dragon Burst. So if you see it moving towards you,let it get just above you before dodge rollingin the opposite direction.
Move: Nightmare Ball
Nightmare Ball is a targeted ability that inflicts massive damage to whatever it touches before it vanishes.
The ball travels very fast, so the best way to avoid it is torun horizontally before it gets fired.
Move: Draconic Breath
Draconic Breath does itsdamage inclose and mid-rangesituations, so if you are far enough away, it cannot hurt you.
If you are unable to be out of range, then you mustrun either clockwise or counter-clockwiseuntil the boss has stopped using the attack. If caught in the breath,it will hit you multiple times.
Move: Dark Laser
Dark Laser has anextremely long cooldown, so it won’t be seen very often during your encounter with Alpha Boss Astegon, but if you or your Pal get caught in this beam, it is game over.
Luckily, Alpha Boss Astegon has to firstcharge up this beambefore being able to fire it. The charging animation looks like many smaller balls of energy colliding and becoming one mass. When you see this, beginrunning either left or right.
The boss turns slowly enough during this move thatyou can walk instead of run to avoid damageif you react quickly enough. This could save you precious stamina.
