How to Beat the Golden Wolflord

Attack Rifthound Skulls to Bring it Down

When the Golden Wolflord loses a certain amount of HP (70%-50%), they will summon three Rifthound Skulls and shield themselves. You need to destroy the separated Rifthound Skulls with Geo attacks which will bring the boss down. While the boss is down you can inflict damage until you defeat them!

Rifthound Skull Attacks Cause Corrosion

The separated Rifthound Skulls will attack with dark blue energy balls which will cause corrosion. The energy balls will also home on your characters so you need to outrun it and dodge it!

Geo Attacks are More Effective

While you can destroy the Rifthound Skulls with other Elemental attacks, Geo is by far, more effective in destroying the skulls faster.

As soon as you notice the Wolflord spinning around, run to the opposite direction then to the side to counter it!

Ground Dash

The Golden Wolflord will land on the ground and swim around the field to charge at characters. To avoid this, you need to get as far as possible away from them. Once it's done, the boss will not move for a short period of time giving you a chance to deal damage!

Rifhound Skull Homing Attack

The Rifthound Skulls in its golden state will home on the characters and explode upon contact. You need to outrun these until it's not homing on your character.

Shielded State with Blue Rifthound Skulls

The Golden Wolflord will enter a shielded state and the Rifthound Skulls will be in a blue state. The skulls go to different sides of the arena to attack the players with dark blue energy balls that will home on your characters.

Destroy the Skulls to Bring Down the Boss

Destroying all three Rifthound Skills will bring down the Golden Wolflord allowing you to deal damage to them.
