In Duskfade, there are two boss fights along your path to break the first chain: Wrath in Howling Geode and Guayota in Prison of the Beast. This guide covers both bosses, their attacks, and how to defeat them.
Wrath
Wrath, the emotion made flesh, is the first main boss in Duskfade. This humanoid enemy fights with gear-blade arms and is far more aggressive than the regular foes you encounter on the way to Howling Geode.
This fight is the first real test of using movement during combat. Wrath's aggression makes positioning critical, so knowing when to back off is just as important as finding openings to attack.
Wrath's Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Forward Blade Lunge | Most common attack. A fast lunge forward covering a long distance. | Dodge to the side rather than backwards. |
| Blue Projectiles | Fires energy orbs individually or five at once in a cone in front of him. | A blue aura appears before this attack , keep your distance and dodge. |
| Jump Attack | Wrath leaps forward with both blade arms extended and lands in front of you. | Dodge the attack, then exploit the boss's long recovery time to punish him. |
Wrath's Pillar Phase
At 75%, 50%, and 25% health, Wrath jumps to the centre of the arena and begins charging. Pillars rise beneath him and across the arena, including along the outer edge. You must jump from pillar to pillar to reach Wrath and knock him back to the ground before he finishes charging.
Wrath's Rewards
Defeating Wrath rewards you with a chest containing 1000 Star Shards and a memory featuring Zirian, Allira, and their grandfather, Tristan. It also unlocks access to the next area, Mount Cinder.
Guayota
Guayota is the final boss of the Volcano Path, fought in the circular arena inside Prison of the Beast. Unlike the humanoid Wrath, Guayota is a much larger quadrupedal creature with a steampunk engine mounted on its back and several area-of-effect attacks.
Guayota's Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Paw Swipe | A quick forward slap. | Dodge to the side. |
| Fire Spit | Guayota spits fire in your direction. | Run around the boss. |
| Bite | Guayota briefly opens its mouth before snapping it shut. | Avoid attacking the boss's face , focus on its body. |
| Tail Sweep | A tail sweep around the boss. | Watch for the red circle that appears on the ground and move away before the attack lands. |
| Charge | Runs in a straight line toward you. | Dodge to the side. If Guayota hits the arena walls, the boss is knocked down and vulnerable for a few seconds. |
| Lava Boulders | Lava boulders rain from the sky. | Watch the landing indicators and move out of the marked areas. |
| Lava Wave Slam | Only available below 50% health. Guayota jumps and slams the ground, sending lava waves across the arena from multiple directions. | Jump and use your air mobility to stay airborne as long as possible and avoid the waves. |
Guayota's Pillar Phase
Every time Guayota loses 25% of its health, a pillar attack is triggered. The boss moves to the centre of the arena and begins jumping in place while pillars fall from above.
Before lava floods the arena, climb to the highest pillar and look up for chains around the walls. Grapple and pull all available chains to make the lava descend, allowing you to return to the ground and continue the fight.
Guayota's Rewards
Defeating Guayota unlocks a second slot for your refillable potion, allowing you to carry two potions at once. You also receive another memory featuring the three family members. Most importantly, this victory lets you break the first chain locking the tower where your sister is being held.
