How to Beat the Foundry Freaks

How to Beat the Foundry Freaks



Use Incendiary and Corrosive Weapons

Incendiary Weapon

You'll have to kill a lot of rippers before the three bosses appear. Due to this, bringing an Incendiary weapon is highly recommended as this element is their weakness.

Once the bosses appear, they will have 2 health bars- a yellow and a red bar. To destroy their yellow health bar quickly, use a Corrossive weapon.

Elemental Weakness Chart and Damage Guide

Keep Your Distance

All three bosses use a short ranged flame attack and a series of melee attacks. Try to keep your distance by using different movement mechanics as they chase you around the arena!

Movement Guide

Focus on One Boss

While the three of them will spawn at the same time, Frank the Furnace will relatively stay far away from you. Use this advantage to focus on hitting one boss first to make the fight less chaotic!

Don't Kill All Rippers

second wind

Spare some Rippers in the area to use them for second wind. This fight is long and can be battle of attrition, so saving a weak enemy to quickly revive can help you survive!
