How to Beat Corruptor
Take out both Launchers
Corruptors aren't as challenging as they were in the previous game, but the tactic is still the same. Take out both its Launchers to remove its long-range attacks. After this you can create some distance and throw a barrage of arrows and bombs to dispose of the Corruptor.
Corruptor Map Locations

While the Corruptor doesn't have any dedicated sites in the overworld, you can encounter them in certain Main Quests as well as The Maw of the Arena.
