Tips & Strategies for Beating Nameless One

Strategy Checklist



Hide Behind the Pedestals

Pedestals.jpg

The Nameless One does not move around while attacking. Hide behind the pedestals to protect yourself from his projectiles while dealing with the skeleton guards that come close.

Use the Totem of Shielding

If you already have the Totem of Shielding, you can use this against his projectiles. Remember to use it a few blocks away from him where you can safely reach him with your melee attacks while still being inside the shield.

Charged Attacks

Watch out when the Nameless One starts charging his staff. He will either summon a row of skeleton guards or attack with mirror images. Either way, you should stay away from him to avoid getting caught off guard.

Do Not Panic

This battle is actually easier than it looks, you just need to concentrate and be patient.

To deal with the skeleton guards, move to a safe position like behind the pedestals and defeat them one by one from there or simply use your ranged attacks.

The spectral orbs from the mirror image attack is kinda slow and you are not completely surrounded. Simply roll toward an opening or use the Totem of Shielding if it is ready.
