Zenon's Minion Fight Tips

Zenon's Minion is the first boss you will encounter in this quest. Defeat him to obtain the Zenon Pass.

  • Dodge horizontally to avoid thrusting attacks and vertically to avoid wide, sweeping attacks.
  • When he flashes red, get close to avoid his frontal scream attack.
  • Keep your distance when he uses his gravity orb attack.

Zenon Duplicate Unit

Defeating all three Zenon Duplicate Units will satisfy Zenon's request, in which he will upgrade the Zenon Pass that is needed to start the final encounter.

Zenon Duplicate Unit Fight Tips

  • All three variants will possess the same base moveset with minor variances.
  • Stay within range, as their varied elemental attacks will be the trickiest to avoid.
  • Position behind them when they channel their frontal AOE elemental attack.

Hero Zenon

Main Boss Insula Carcere

Hero Zenon will be the final boss of this quest. You can fight him once you have obtained Hero Zenon's pass with improved access credentials.

Hero Zenon Fight Tips

  • Hero Zenon has plenty of fast attacks with a very telegraphed windup. Dodge or parry them as they come, but be careful of the follow-up attacks.
  • In his second phase, Hero Zenon can summon persistent orbs that limit the areas where you can safely engage him. Avoid them until they disappear.
  • When Hero Zenon summons multiple rotating orbs of varying sizes, refrain from attacking him until this attack concludes.
