Sneaking the paint out of the Builder's hideout

	Cross the room by climbing up the pillar and walk on the ropes to get to the statue on the other side.
	Slowly make your way down the statue and proceed to one of the crates. WARNING: Do NOT jump straight down to the ground from the top of the statue! Doing so will alert the shapeshifter nearby.
	Carry one of the crates and sneak through the middle of the sleeping shapeshifters. TIP: Be mindful of the sleeping shapeshifters' positions. Being too close to one will alert the entire room.

Boss Strategies: How To Beat The Builder

• Most of The Builder's attacks are unblockable. Prepare to dodge throughout the fight.
• The Builder's stomp and specific hammer attacks create shockwaves, causing you to get knocked back or down. Anticipate these throughout the fight.
• The Builder occassionaly sends shockwaves towards you if you stay out-of-range for too long.
• The Builder can send an Energy Burst underneath your feet. Getting hit by this energy burst will send you up in the air, inflicting Fall Damage once you hit the ground.
• The Breakfall skill does NOT negate the Fall Damage.
• The Builder's stun bar can only be depeleted by attacking the top of his head with arrows.
• A white orb will spawn everytime The Builder performs an overhead hammer slam. Absorbing this white orb will cause the your next attack to stagger The Builder. You can shoot the top of his head when staggered.
• You can also use The Builder's Energy Burst attack to shoot arrows towards the top of his head in mid-air. Use this sparingly as players will still suffer fall damage once they hit the ground.
• The Builder will start to charge up at around 50% HP. His damage is increased for the remainder of the fight and will perform more charged attacks with his hammer.
• The Builder will start performing Energy Bursts in quick succession in his charged state.
• During The Builder's charged state, He will have the ability to confine you in a small area. Dodge out of the telegraph before he finishes conjuring the confined space.
