Tips & Strategies for Beating Greags the Ear-lopper and Ploobo Bonesucker
| ★ Strategy Checklist ★ |
||
|---|---|---|
 Kill the Minions First.Focus on Greags the Earlopper.Don't Lose Sight of Ploobo Bonesucker.Stay on the Move. |
Kill the Minions First
Take out the minions first so you can focus on the bosses. They will be an issue during combat since they can interrupt your combos and deal damage if they surround you. Their healthpool is low so a few basic attacks will be enough. Isolate them from the two bosses. Once you clear the first wave, a second wave will spawn after some time.
Focus on Greags the Earlopper
Once you've killed the minions, prioritize finishing Greags off. He's easier to deal with since you can perma-lock him with a combo and constantly knock him down. Try to pin him into a corner and slash away and he won't be able to defend himself..
Don't Lose Sight of Ploobo Bonesucker
When doing the first two Tips, make sure you still have vision of Ploobo. Even if you keep your distance from him, he can still drag you back with his spear so be aware when he's preparing to do so. You need to know where he is at all times since he'll deal heavy damage once near you.
Stay on the Move
Once Ploobo is the only one left, your strategy will be to quicky go in and out of his attack range. When you're within attack range, hit him as many times as possible. But when you see he's winding up an attack or is outlined red, immediately dodge away from him.
