| Magnus the Beast Claw Boss Tips |
|---|
| Kite and dodge him |
| Keep your distance so he doesn't heal |
Magnus wields the Great Stars, which is a large weapon, making his attacks slow. Take advantage of this by kiting and dodging him with arrows and spells. Avoid using a channeled spell like Comet Azur since he can easily knock you out of the cast animation if he reaches you.
Great Stars provides a small amount of HP recovery whenever Magnus lands a hit, so make sure to keep your distance.
| Magnus the Beast Claw Boss Tips |
|---|
| Punish his slow attacks or inflict status effects |
| Dodge so he doesn't heal |
Magnus has rather slow attacks, so try to wait for a move with a slow recovery frame and then punish him.
If you're using Dexterity weapons, he is difficult to Poise break, but he is very vulnerable to status effects, so have a weapon that inflicts Bleed, Frost, or Scarlet Rot.
Great Stars heals Magnus for a small amount of HP if he lands a hit, so make sure to dodge his attacks whenever he swings.
