How to Beat Apep

1st Phase: Warden of the Last Oasis

The first phase of the boss is the simplest phase to finish. Simply dish out your strongest attacks and avoid Apep's attacks that can hit on a wide range.

2nd Phase: Heart of Oasis

Fill Up Meter by Defeating Enemies

After defeating the boss in the first phase, you will be tasked to defeat monsters in the area to fill up the Heart of Oasis.

The Heart of Oasis will lose its stored up energy when attacked, so do your best to defend it.

Prioritize Larger Enemies

Some of the larger monsters will defend the smaller ones by providing them with shields or healing. Focus on taking out the larger enemies first to destroy the monsters' defenses.

Larger enemies will provide a larger amount to fill up the Heart of Oasis when defeated.

3rd Phase: Warden of Oasis Prime

Avoid Aftershocks using Shields of Revival's Hymn

When Apep is about to summon Aftershocks of the Apocalypse, hide under the Shields of Revival's Hymn to avoid taking massive damage.
