Calamity Beast β€” Your First Boss

The Calamity Beast is the first real challenge in Elliot. It attacks with wide charge attacks that are easy to dodge once you learn the timing.

  • Phase 1: Charges at you β€” dodge sideways and counter with 3 longsword hits
  • Phase 2: Roars and summons adds β€” use Faie Bolt to clear small enemies
  • Phase 3: Enrages β€” switch to defensive play with Shield until it calms
  • Key drops: Magicite Shard, Ancient Weapon Fragment
  • Shadow Sovereign β€” The Final Challenge

    The Shadow Sovereign is the ultimate test in Elliot. This boss requires mastery of weapon switching, magicite builds, and Faie ability timing.

  • Phase 1: Dark orbs β€” dodge and close distance with Katana
  • Phase 2: Time manipulation β€” use Faie Shield to block delayed attacks
  • Phase 3: Shadow clones β€” identify the real Sovereign by the magicite glow
  • Recommended: Katana + Dark Magicite for maximum damage, Faie Heal on standby
  • Key drops: Sovereign Crown, Ultimate Magicite, Mythic Weapon Blueprint
