Malboro Boss Battle Guide
Stay Close and Keep Attacking
Malboro's attack pattern is rather simple, and doesn't deal so much damage in each hit. It can strike anywhere in the space surrounding itself, so move quickly to avoid its hits while staying close and laying on the damage.
Get rid of the enemies protecting it
The first thing to do is to get rid of the two enemies that will spawn in front of it. Both of them use range-based attacks, so they'll cause trouble when you're attacking Malboro, and will become even more vexing when you've eaten a Slow.
Malboro Attack Phases
Malboro uses Inhale to pull players in close, then strikes with its tentacles repeatedly. Slow is difficult to avoid after Malboro starts casting it, so it's important to move with care after you've been hit by it.
Malboro Abilities and Attack Patterns
When the players are close
| Tentacle Strike |
| Bad Breath |
| Slowga |
| Cursera (inflicts Curse) |
| Blizzaga |
When the players are far
| Inhale |
Pattern changes from Cycle 2 on
Starting in Cycle 2, it will begin to use Blizzaga after its HP has been decreased. Blizzaga has a huge range, about the same as the diameter of the Crystal Chalice's effect, so use this to estimate how wide of a distance to keep.
If you've been hit by Cursera and then suffer a Blizzaga hit, you'll take enormous damage, so when hit by Slowga or Cursera in the second phase of the fight, it's best to simply stay out of range and wait for its effects to wear off.
Malboro Rewards
Artifacts and Items Dropped
Each Boss drops a set of four Artifacts when defeated. The set of Artifacts dropped depends on the current cycle count, number of players, and the number of Bonus Points earned by the players. At high levels, non-Artifact items like rare Materials and Scrolls can also drop.
Players must earn at least the indicated number of Bonus Points for their given player count and cycle to receive a given Set.
