Blood Simple Tips and Strategies
Fighting the Alpha Garkain
Preparation
Prepare for the fight with Black Blood Potion, Golden Oriole Potion, Moon Dust Bomb, and Samum Bomb.
Attacks
Claw attack: Slow, but can poison.
Slam attack: Has a wide area of effect, but is telegraphed by a jump.
Stun blast: Can charge up a large area of effect blast that will stun you. Telegraphed by its head glowing white.
Tactic
Consume the Black Blood Potion and Golden Oriole Potion. The Black Blood Potion can help deal damage whenever the Alpha Garkain hits you. The Golden Oriole Potion will help negate the poison on the claw attacks. Keep distance and avoid its attacks. After it attacks, go in and attack it with 3 hits. It will counter, so immediately dodge right after. Be careful when its health gets low, as it will act more aggressively and attack more frequently.
