How to Beat Lydusa in Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom DLC
Learn how to defeat Lydusa with this Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom DLC boss guide.
In the Forgotten Kingdom DLC for Remnant 2, players face a formidable challenge with the boss battle against Lydusa. This colossal entity proves to be one of the game’s most daunting encounters, surpassing even the Nightmare from the base game and the One True King from The Awakened King DLC. This guide aims to help you beat Lydusa in Remnant 2.
How to Beat Lydusa in The Forgotten Kingdom DLC
While Lydusa presents a significant obstacle, there are strategies to overcome her and emerge victorious in the Forgotten Kingdom’s climactic showdown. You can encounter Lydusa early in the DLC after the latest update.
The primary method involves progressing through the new main story dungeon introduced in the Forgotten Kingdom DLC. Alternatively, you can complete a quest for Lydusa, which, although not influencing her favorability, allows for further exploration of the dungeon before initiating the boss fight upon your return.
The Three-Phase Battle
The battle against Lydusa unfolds in three distinct phases, each introducing new attacks to her arsenal. Despite not summoning additional enemies as the One True King did, Lydusa employs homing projectiles that cause AOE blasts upon impact, capable of inflicting intense damage and leaving players staggered.
However, with well-timed attacks and precise aim at Lydusa’s weak spots, her health bar can be gradually depleted.
Here are some essential tips to beat Lydusa:
Phase One
Lydusa initiates the battle by hurling sand projectiles at the ground, triggering AOE effects. Dodge-rolling sideways or simply running away can evade these attacks.
Subsequently, she summons four sand orbs that fire volleys of homing projectiles until destroyed. Prioritize destroying the glowing yellow orb, as it can unleash a devastating AOE blast.
Phase Two (75% Health)
In this phase, a blue face emerges from Lydusa’s stone-covered shell, accompanied by new attacks that can be easily dodged. However, you must be cautious of the platform’s edges to avoid falling to death.
This phase presents an opportunity to inflict huge damage by targeting Lydusa’s exposed face.
Phase Three (30% Health)
Lydusa summons a series of moving stone walls that you must destroy before it pushes you, kinda like a game from Takeshi’s Castle. Her face will appear on one of the three walls, and destroying it five consecutive times will transition the battle to the final phase.
Final Phase
This phase replicates the moveset from the second phase, with the addition of more sand projectiles.
Consistently dealing damage with a ranged weapon, preferably an AR with elemental affinity, is crucial. Maintaining distance while navigating Lydusa’s constant movement across the arena is key.
Conclusion
In the treacherous realm of the Forgotten Kingdom, where Lydusa reigns supreme, only the most skilled and determined survivors will emerge victorious. Stay vigilant, adapt to her ever-evolving attacks, and you can beat Lydusa easily in Remnant 2.
