Chromatic Bruler Location

The Continent

Chromatic Bruler Location 2
The first instance of Chromatic Bruler is located in The Continent explored during Act 1: Gustave near Yellow Harvest and Gestral Village's exit. The boss is extremely dangerous in the early game and the player is advised to finish Act 1 first before re-engaging.

Act 1: Gustave Walkthrough

Endless Tower

Chromatic Bruler Location 3
The boss can also be encountered in Endless Tower at Stage 7, Trial 2, being more difficult than the original version as it is paired with a Chromatic Gold Chevaliere and Aberration that the player must defeat to move forward.

How to Beat Chromatic Bruler

Jump Counters

Chromatic Bruler Weakness 1
One of the most glaring advantages the player has against the Chromatic Bruler is its' own moveset. One of the easier to read moves of the boss requires the player to jump dodge three times to avoid getting hit.

Successfully countering this move paired with an Ice element weapon deals a significant amount of counter damage to the boss. Should it repeat this move, it will actually be easier for the player to just jump counter!

How to Parry and Counter

Use Ice Attacks

Chromatic Bruler Weakness 2

Aside from the boss having a glowing core that can easily chunk out its' health, this flavor of Bruler is weak to ice attacks so the player is advised to exploit the weakness.

Take Advantage of Small Move Pool

Chromatic Bruler Weakness 3
This boss is notable for only having two moves to counter that are easy to remember and take advantage of despite them being hard-hitters.

The first move, a spin-and-smash combo, has 5 attack strings that are slightly delayed to trick the player into dodging early. The second move is a Shockwave Smash that only requires the player to jump counter three times.
