Easy to Hit When Not Underwater

The Water-Wood Beast is a large, hippo-like boss with a large hitbox, making it relatively easy to land attacks. However, it can dive underwater to hide and launch surprise attacks.

To counter this, use Immobilize before the boss submerges, and then follow up with additional spells while it's stunned to maximize your damage output.

How to Unlock Immobilize Spell

Has Stealth Attacks

If you allow the Water-Wood Beast to submerge, it will start performing stealth attacks from below the water.

Fortunately, you can track its movements by observing the bubbles it leaves behind. Watch for these signs to know when to dodge and avoid its attacks.
