Recommended Level for Divine Beast Dancing Lion

Recommended Level Level 12

We recommend fighting Divine Beast Dancing Lion at Level 12 for a standard difficulty experience. If you wish for a greater challenge, you may fight this boss at lower levels.

Target the Boss' Back

Dancing Lion Back

The Divine Beast Dancing Lion appears to be a giant human wearing a lion garb, with a large back that you can target to chip away its HP.

The boss mainly attacks from the front, so have a player, preferably a ranged user, draw aggro while melee players focus on hitting the back. Just back away whenever the Dancing Lion does a backflip attack, as it can also strike players behind it.

Focus on Dodging During Lightning Strikes

Dancing Lion Lightning Strikes

One of the Dancing Lion’s attacks triggers lightning strikes across the arena. During this time, it's best to focus on dodging and wait for it to be over before going back on the offensive. Avoid the lightning forming on the ground, as those spots mark where the strikes will land.

The boss will also shoot lightning from its mouth and then do a full spin around the arena. Perform a dodge roll at the last second before the hit connects to avoid taking damage.
