Tips on Beating Zalmarath, the Colossus |
---|
|
When Zalamarth slams and leaves its sword in the center of the arena, it will follow up with a beam that covers the whole area that deals a lot of damage. Use the sword as cover to avoid this attack.
Zalmarath, the Colossus has a set of very powerful physical attacks. The Sword Slash specifically, can bring down many characters with a single hit. Always look out for these attacks and dodge them to the best of your abilities.
Check out the later section of this guide to see videos of these high-threat moves and how to dodge them.
When the Colossus is at low health, additional enemies will spawn periodically which will get close to you and detonate dealing a good amount of Cold damage. If a lot these drones detonate near you at quick succession, it can deal a lethal amount of damage in an instant. Prioritize getting rid of these additional enemies as soon as possible.

Moves | Details & How to Dodge |

Sword Slash | Slams and drags its sword forward. While its hard trying to react and avoid the first hit, you can easily Dodge Roll the second hit sideways. |
Sword Stab | Slams the sword near the center and drags it back. Dodge Roll forwards or away from the Colossus to avoid the first hit, and dodge sideways for the second. |
Sword Upheaval | Prepares the sword with two hands and slams it to the side. The Colossus does this move only when your close to it and near its right side. Move close to its left side to dodge this attack. |
Upheaval | Slams its arm that causes a wave. As it brings its arms lose to its face to prepare this attack, move to its right-arm side of the arena as soon as you can. |
Forehand Swipe | Swipes its arm from left to right and follows it up with a stab at the end. If you were hit by the swipe or if you are close to it, be careful of the follow up stab. |
Backhand Swipe | Swipes its arm from right to left and follows it up with a slash to the same direction. Always wait for the follow up attack before you get close as it can deal a lot of damage. |
Giga Laser | Slams and keeps its sword in the middle of the arena and fires a beam that cover the whole screen. Stay behind the sword to survive this attack. |
Summon Drones | At around 1/3rd of its Life, packs of drones that detonate on impact will start to be summoned periodically. You can kill these with attacks or get close to them to trigger the detonate and move away to avoid damage. |
Falling Stalactites | The Colossus fires a beam to the ceiling causing rocks to fall on the arena. This is good time to do deal damage, but keep and eye on the ground to check for falling rocks. |
Switch Sides | Switches sides while firing multiple Lightning projectiles. If you stay far from the Colossus, it will be easier to avoid the projectiles. |
Spiral Laser | Fires a beam that goes forward. Sometimes, the beam stays in the middle while smaller laser beams rotate around the arena. Stay to the sides to easily dodge this attack. |
Magma Fissure | Fiery fissures spread randomly into the arena. Watch out and Dodge Roll across the fissure to keep you out of a bad spot. |
Triple Stab | Does a series of three stabs from left to right. Stay away until the Colossus does the third hit. |
Hammer Fist | When you're really close, the Colossus clenches it fist and slams it right in front of it. Make sure to Dodge Roll away to avoid this Slam attack. |
