Recommended Weapon Element | |
---|---|
Water Weapon | Glavenus is weakest against water. |
Recommended Armor Skills | |
Fire Resistance | Once Glavenus emits a red glow and his rust tail turns into a fire tail, most of his attacks will be fire-based. |
Clutch Claw Boost | Glavenus's rust tail is extra tough. Using this skill (from the Shaver Jewel 3) will help get you extra damage on it. |
Evade Window | Evade Window is extra useful for Glavenus since his attacks are faster than most. |
Health Boost | Having more health is always beneficial! |
Rust | Fire |
---|---|
Normal | Red Glow |
Always check the throat and the tail of Glavenus to predict its attacks. If the throat and the tail is glowing red, this means that his attacks deal an additional fire attribute damage if it lands. The power and the speed of the attacks are significantly higher when they are red.
Additionally, you can only cut the tail when it is in the fire state.
State | Description |
---|---|
Red Glow | Glavenus' throat will gradually turn red as the fight goes on. This will allow him to do fire-based attacks and it can only return to normal if you manage to down him by focusing your attacks on his head or throat. |
Tail (Fire) | Glavenus can heat up its tail using the fire from his mouth to reach the fire state. |
Tail (Rust) | The tail will eventually return to its rust state overtime. During this state, the tail is a lot tougher but its attacks are less dangerous. |
It is good to focus the feet and the tail of Glavenus. However, it is still recommended that you try and aim for the head since attacking the head can take him down for a long time and it can also release the red glow from Glavenus which can weaken is attacks.
Glavenus' tailspin attack is a high damaging move that sweeps a wide area using its tail. Before Glavenus executes this attack, he will first put his tail on his mouth. Use this as the signal for you to run away as far as you can to get out of its range.
If you are continuously attacking the tail, Glavenus will eventually slam his tail on to the ground multiple times. Always be prepared to roll to the sides to avoid taking damage.
Most of Glavenus' attacks utilize the length of his tail. If you manage to cut down the tail, it will drastically reduce the range of its attack and possibly the amount of attack he can do.
Using Evade Window is extremely useful when fighting against Glavenus because most of his attacks have a short hitbox time. Having more invincible frames will make it a lot easier for you to dodge his attacks.
