How to Beat Azhdaha
The following tips can help you beat Azhdaha in battle.
- Dodge Snake Bite
- Attack Azhdaha's Head
- Use Aerial Attacks
- Avoid Tail Whip
- Parry Sharp Projectiles
- Avoid Breath Attack
- Dodge Sphere Bombs
- Parry Lunging Bite
- Avoid Drill Tail
- Dodge Upgraded Snake Bite
- Use Bahman's Breath
- Use Shadow of the Simurgh
Phase 1
Dodge Snake Bite (Unstoppable Attack)
Azhdaha will perform an Unstoppable Attack where he attempts to bite you. Azhdaha's eyes glow red when it initiates the attack.
Dodge the incoming bite strike by anticipating the attack. The towering serpent will bare its fangs before executing the bite. Then, attack them while they're on the ground.
Use Aerial Attacks When Azhdaha's Head Hovers in Midair
There will be small windows of opportunity where Azhdaha is just stationary and its head is available for attacking. Jump high and use aerial attacks. You can also use your arrows and chakram to chip in some damage.
Avoid Tail Whip (Unstoppable Attack)
This atack has Azhdaha quickly whipping out its tail across the battlefield. Prepare to jump if you see them shaking its tail on the right side of the screen.
Parry Sharp Projectiles
The giant snake will conjure dagger-like projectiles in the air, and direct them towards you. Parry one, then dodge the next one. Repeat for the next pair of projectiles.
Avoid Breath Attack (Unstoppable Attack)
Azhdaha will shoot out purple energy across the entire battlefield. Jump toward the snake, leave a shadow, then move back. Then, once the beam passes the shadow and goes close to you, teleport to the shadow to dodge the attack.
Dodge Sphere Bombs (Unstoppable Attack)
Azhdaha will conjure purple spheres that descends on the ground and causes explosions when it comes into contact with the surface.
Stand under one of the spheres, hold up, and use Dimension Claw to store it. Then, you can throw it back to Azhdaha to damage them.
Phase 2
Parry Lunging Bite to Perform Vengeful Counter (Reckless Attack)
Azhdaha will initiate a Reckless Attack when you reach Phase 2 of the boss fight. The towering serpent will first attack you with a tail whip, followed by a lunging bite.
You will need to jump to dodge Azhdaha's first attack. From there, parry the bite to perform a Vengeful Counter and deal significant damage towards Azhada.
Like all Reckless Attacks, Azhdaha's eyes will glow yellow when initiating the attack.
Avoid Drill Tail and Parry the Projectiles
Azhdaha will sink its tail in the ground, then it will try honing in on your location to emerge from the soil. After the tail shows itself, it will fire projectiles from both sides of the battlefield.
You can parry all the projectiles, except the last wave. If you see a full wall of spikes followed by a trail of them, you should jump and air dash to avoid them.
Dodge Upgraded Snake Bite (Unstoppable Attack)
Similar to Phase 1, Azhdaha will try to bite you when able. During this point, the bite attack consists of two consecutive strikes.
Dodge away from its bite attacks and make sure your health lasts throughout the battle.
Use Bahman's Breath Athra Surge
If you can spare an Athra Surge Gauge, use Bahman's Breath to recover from any damage taken throughout the fight and deal explosion damage if Azhdaha comes near its area of effect.
How to Unlock All Athra Surges
Use Shadow of the Simurgh
Use the time powers in your arsenal and employ the Shadow of the Simurgh to teleport back into the mark as an alternative for dodging in midair.
This ability is ideal when avoiding Azhdaha's tail swipes or dodging the projectiles it aims at you.
