Crust King Khann Boss Fight Tips
Checkmark Avoid the Spiked-Column Attacks
Checkmark Use Pale Nails to Damage Crust King Khann
Checkmark Use Cogflies to Maximize Long Range Attacks
Checkmark Employ Voltvessels to Shoot Out Thunder

Avoid the Spiked-Column Attacks

Crust King Khann mostly summons spiked columns to attack you during the fight. These columns could easily be avoided by checking where the reddish smoke appears, as the smoke can indicate where the column will be summoned.

Use Pale Nails to Damage Crust King Khann

Crust King Khann puts a lot of distance between you and him during this fight, so it is recommended that you use Pale Nails as a long-range attack should you be able to land some melee attacks against him.

Use Cogflies to Maximize Long Range Attacks

Cogflies can be abundantly helpful if you want to be able to deal damage while dodging the onslaught of attacks from Crust King Khann.

Employ Voltvessels to Shoot Out Thunder Strikes

You can also employ Voltvessels against Crust King Khann, as the boss seems to pause whenever he directs his column attacks against you. Use these openings to plant Voltvessels around the area to strike him.
