Tips to Beat Jamanra, the Risen King
Get to the Center of the Unblockable Attack Survive the Wind Storm Handle the Lightning Bolt Attack Use Cold Damage If You Can

Get to the Center of the Unblockable Attack After the Explosion

Jamanra, the Risen King Unblocable attack

Jamanra's unblockable attack creates an explosion in front of him, which becomes the safe zone for the follow-up explosion. Once Jamanra flashes light red, prepare for an unblockable attack, stay away from the initial blast, then stay in the small circle in the middle to avoid the next one.

Fight at Medium Range

For the best positioning, fight Jamanra at a medium distance - not too far away, nor too close. This will allow you to avoid his dash attacks while still being close enough to get into the safe circle for his unblockable attack.

Survive the Wind Storm

Jamanra Wind Storm

When players get Jamanra's health to half of one-fourth, the latter will summon a wind storm, and minions will continuously spawn. Make sure to survive this attack by all means, as once it is over, the fight will also be over.

Handle the Lightning Bolt Attack

Jamanra also has a quick lightning bolt attack that is tricky to dodge. It’s not overly fatal, so you should be able to survive it and adjust as the fight goes on. Watch out for when he pulls his free hand back, as he fires the bolt quickly.

Use Cold Damage If You Can

If your build allows it, try to use cold damage, as Jamanra is vulnerable to it. However, don’t change your build just for this — it’s more of a bonus if you’re already running cold damage in your setup.
