How to Beat Zicoatl, Warden of the Core

Tips on Beating Zicoatl, Warden of the Core


Stay in Front of the Red Triangle's Vertices to Stay Safe

Zicoatl Attack
Zicoatl has a lot of telegraphed laser attacks that you can Dodge Roll or reposition to dodge. The red triangle wave, however, is a bit deceptively hard to assess where to reposition to avoid damage. Always remember to stay in front of the triangle's vertices or points to stay out of trouble!

Most Attacks Can Be Dodged to the Side

Zicoatl Attack
Most of Zicoatl's attacks go only forward, along with a reasonably long start-up animation. This window gives you more than enough time to dodge to the side and avoid taking damage.

Focus on Dodging the Laser Grid

Zicoatl Laser Attack
One of Zicoatl's biggest AoE attacks would be a grid of lasers that shoot out after some time. Once you see glowing lines across the ground, look for open spaces you can stay in during the attack.
