How to Beat Thane Wulfric and Lady Elswyth

Tips to Beat Thane Wulfric and Lady Elswyth
Destroy Lady Elswyth’s Spikes Eliminate One at a Time Keep the Arena Clear

Destroy Lady Elswyth’s Spikes

The bone walls Lady Elswyth traps you with can be destroyed. Breaking them allows you to escape the large explosion she targets at that area, giving you a safe window to reposition and continue the fight.

Eliminate One at a Time

Target one boss at a time based on which poses the greatest danger to your playstyle and your build. Eliminating a single threat first reduces overlapping mechanics and makes the fight more manageable.

Keep the Arena Clear

Hazards from both bosses can clutter the arena, including bone walls, blood pools, and glyphs. Stay mobile, avoid dangerous zones, and reposition frequently to reduce incoming pressure.

Thane Wulfric and Lady Elswyth Moves and Mechanics

Thane Wulfric and Lady Elswyth
Lady Elswyth	Thane Wulfric

Lady Elswyth

Move or Mechanic	Details & How to Dodge
Cone of Ruin	Lady Elswyth flings a small projectile of dark flame ahead of her. Upon impact with the ground, it bursts into a sweeping cone of corrupted fire, releasing a surge of chaos and searing heat that engulfs anything in its path.
Bone Prison	Lady Elswyth raises jagged, burning walls of bone in a ring around you, sealing off escape. She then channels dark power, culminating in a devastating rain of shadowfire that crashes down within the prison. Players must quickly break through the bone walls before the cast completes, or use a teleport to escape the prison.
Infernal Glyphs	Lady Elswyth chants as glyphs flare beneath you. After a short delay each rune detonates in shadowfire, while the largest sigil erupts into a tornado of chaos and flame. Quickly leave the marked zones, or use a dash or teleport to evade just before the blast.
Bloodfall	Lady Elswyth spins in place, calling down blood pillars that splatter into pools on impact. After a short delay, each pool detonates in a violent eruption, punishing anyone caught within. Stay clear of the blood pools before they detonate.
Blink Slash	Lady Elswyth blinks through the shadows to your position, unleashing a relentless flurry of strikes with her burning blade. Keep moving sideways or use a quick dash to dodge her attack.
Chaosfire Barrage	Lady Elswyth gathers dark power, then unleashes a barrage of chaosfire projectiles in all directions. Stay clear of her vicinity to avoid being overwhelmed.

Thane Wulfric

Move or Mechanic	Details & How to Dodge
Bloodfan	Thane Wulfric executes a broad sweep, flinging a fan of blood-made projectiles in a semi-circle. When you see Wulfric wind up for the sweep, sidestep out of the arc or roll through a gap in the fan.
Bloodcleave	Thane Wulfric summons a row of jagged bone spires, then raises his blade overhead and brings it down with crushing force. The spikes rupture in a savage eruption of blood. Move out immediately.
Blood Frenzy	Thane Wulfric drenches himself in blood, entering a frenzied state that sharply increases his movement and attack speed. Keep your distance and avoid getting cornered!
