How to Beat Retainer of Idris

Checkmark Focus on Attacking the Tentacles

Focus on Attacking the Tentacles

Focus on Attacking the Tentacles

The best way to deal damage to Retainer of Idris is by aiming for the yellow tentacles on its back. We recommend using jump attacks and ranged formae such as Bolt Blast and Blazing Roar to maximize your damage output during the fight.

Additionally, you can also make use of the Statesman's Longbow to aim for its tentacles from a safe distance. Keep in mind that the Statesman's Longbow costs 1 Ichor per use, so try to perform drain attacks in between to help maintain your Ichor.

Jump to Avoid The Ground Attacks

Retainer of Idris has various stomp attacks that can reach a wide AoE around them. Make sure to jump every time it performs the Double Stomp and Fire Stomp to avoid the attack while still aiming for its tentacles.

Take note that the ground spikes that emerge from his Club attacks can be difficult to avoid through jumping, so we suggest dodging to the side instead to avoid his club attacks.

Destroy the Golden Trees During 2nd Phase

Destroy the Golden Trees During 2nd Phase

Once Retainer of Idris reaches 50% health, its head will start glowing and summon various golden trees throughout the field that can inflict Slow around them. We highly suggest destroying the golden trees as early as you can since you can cover more ground to dodge from Idris's attacks.

Keep in mind that Retainer of Idris' 2nd phase gives it new fire attacks that can linger on the ground for a few seconds. You can easily die from the fire attacks if you are Slowed from the golden trees, so make sure to destroy the trees to make the fight easier to deal with.
