Belurat, Tower Settlement Walkthrough Guide - Items and Boss Tips

To get to Belurat , you ’ll want to take the left path at theThree Path Cross Site of Grace(1 ) . There ’ll be two NPCs you may chat to here , one of whom will even help you in the upcoming boss fight . There ’s also aScadutree Fragmenthere , which play as the unexampled ' levelling ' scheme .

Continue on the path , and just before you reach Belurat , there ’ll be two more Nonproliferation Center you could shoot the breeze to , theMain Gate Cross Site of Grace(2 ) , and anotherScadutree Fragment . One of the NPCs is even a merchandiser , and he has mass of resistance buffing consumables on go . I suggest break up up hisLightning - Proof Pickled Livershere , as the boss does a whole batch of lightning damage in its 2nd phase .

Continue up the stairs to enter Belurat , Tower Settlement proper . Be careful though , as there ’s some … ' spider ' on the path immediately after you enter the main gate . They ’re fast-growing and nasty , but thankfully not too tanky . keep on on until you strain a room with two sets of stairs . There ’s some of the lowly spiders here , but they go down quick enough . Carry on up the stairs and into the Settlement , being sure to grab theSite of Grace(1)on the left of the big metal doors . You ca n’t get through these yet , but they ’ll act as a shortcut later on . You ’ll want to goright from the stairs(2)to continue on , so you could ignore the way straightaway next to the Site of Grace as it ’s a dead remnant .

Continuing on you ’ll come across a Plaza with a waterfall and fountain . There ’s an item in the waterfall , but be careful as a rather large ' tincture humans ' will be laying in delay for you , and whilst slow , these guys pack a serious punch . Continue right up the stairs from the Fountain to progress . You ’ll get in a thoroughfare , and if you head aright you ’ll see a well . manoeuver down that well ( by taking the run ) will grant you a ' Messmerfire Grease ' , which is an raise rendering of the fire soil you may be conversant with from the groundwork game .

guide back out the well andcontinue down the thoroughfare(1 ) , being careful of the two very nettlesome spellcasters perched on a bridge above the road . There ’s asmall area on the right(2)of this route that holds anotherMessmerfire Grease , but has yet another large shadow guy guarding it .

Upon get through the oddment of the thoroughfare , you ’ll see an archway on the left . channelise on in and up the stair to get theSmall Private Altar Site of Grace . lie up , and head out . There ’ll be two arch in the conjoining room here , and you ’ll need to take the one on the right . The one on the left field is a dead conclusion for now , but we ’ll be coming back to this after we defeat the boss .

There ’ll be a ' horn Soldier ' enemy on the road as you continue , and these guys have in mind patronage . They have very prospicient combo chains and are difficult to lurch , so you ’ll have to get your dodge timing down . It ’s safe to play it safe and contrivance / hightail it back as much as you’re able to , taking any breaks in their combos to deal some damage .

You ’ll have two ways to go from here , with theright path(2)leading to an unfastened area with a tree and anNPC Invasion . This guy rope is n’t too terribly hard , but he does cover brawny damage and he does use a spear so be careful of his range . He ’ll drop the ' Crusade Insignia ' upon death ( a new amulet that raises your attack power upon defeat an enemy ) . Theleft path(1)is your route onward towards the area political boss .

Continue up the stairs and take a right to enter the alleyway , then a left field to enter the top of the waterfall we saw in the first place . There ’s a bunch of the big shadow bozo here , so be heedful not to get flood or back into a nook . come in the room on the right at the destruction of the waterfall basin to find a ladder , and climb up it . Once you get to the top , verify toloot the stagnant bodyas you get there , as he holds akeywe’ll necessitate once we get the better of the field boss .

Once you reach the top of the ladder and reach the next area , you ’ve drive two choices on where you may head . you’re able to head left , in which case you ’ll have to care with some very , very icky bug people , or you’re able to head right and go along the rooftop , in which type you ’ll have to deal with some very , very grumpy snort . I suggest you take theleft path , as whilst gross , the bug people are far squishier than the shuttlecock , and you could even net yourself anotherScadutree FragmentandTalismanif you take this way .

accept you head provide , continue on until you reach some more Scorpions . There ’ll be some junk on your right hand , a large way directly ahead , and ashortcut back to a Site of Grace behind you . The cutoff can be accessed by take the stairs down , heading down the elevator , and then using the lever to give the large alloy door we saw in the beginning but could n’t unfold . The magnanimous room contains two fittingly big Scorpio the Scorpion , but also aBone Bow(1 ) . One of the Scorpions is far tankier than the other , so only take this on if you really want that obeisance . In ordination to build up you ’ll need to jumpover the rubble(2)and take the arch .

When you lead into the arch , be very measured , as one of the bug people will straight off rush out to try and take hold of you . This can do some nasty damage if you ’re lower on Vigor , and in a flash vote out you if you ’re already wound . Either way , manage with the bug people , and press on . You ’ll come across the aforementionedScadutree fragmentin the next room , and then theDried Bouquet Talisman(1)(which resurrect your fire power once your summon feel fail ) directly on the leftfield as you die that way . To continue on you ’ll need todrop down from the shelf you ’re on(2 ) , but do n’t chafe : it ’s not high-pitched enough to do any drop damage .

Head allow when you drop down , dealing with any bug masses in your way . You ’ll find an arch at the end which has a ladder back up , but be careful as there ’s yet another ambush bug expect behind the big stone pillar in the elbow room with the run .

go forward on , being careful of all the vestige cat nearby and heading for the elbow room with the large volute staircase ahead . There ’s another nasty enemy on these steps , theCurseblade , which is also highly mobile and belligerent . Killing it has a chance of give you itsCirquethough , which might be fun for all you Dex actor out there .

Continue up the stairs to be face with thegate to the sphere boss . There’ll be an NPC summon sign here for anyone toy solo ( Redmane Freyja , the NPC we saw at the Three - Path Cross earlier ) . Please note that any process willincrease the amount of HP the boss has , but Redmane Freyja ( and a mess of the summons in the DLC ) have substantially higher stats than any in the base secret plan , so the decision is yours .

Divine Beast Boss Guide - Tips & Tricks

And here we have it , the first boss of the DLC . To say this sheer nut is a ' skill chip ' is putting it far too lightly , as frankly it ’s near incomprehensible your first few attempts . This abhorrence will twist , spin , feint , bite , summon lightning , and summon icing . Finding a moment to get a safe hit in is half the battle , and its tremendous health legal profession is the other .

Your best bet for this one is go to be to forge on until you get most of the dodge timing for its onset down , and using either a eminent bleed , or gamey poise damage weapon . I found theBackhand Bladefrom the DLC with a blood affinity to be quite good , as the speedy onset mean I did n’t have to take chances my pelt every time I wanted to set down a exclusive strike , and the bleed procs ( although infrequent ) did gravid ball off his gargantuan health cake .

ThoseLightning Proof Liverswe nonplus from that merchandiser in the beginning do in really handy in the 2d phase , in which the angry blackguard will come up plenty of lightning ( almost the same was as Lichdragon Fortissax does ) to keep you on your toes . fight back on , cry a moment , and work like hell until it last keels over and dies .

The big sweeping dust attack ( 1:39 in the video above ) is one to be very mistrustful of ; you ’ll see it cast this out in its first phase . Note itcan be dodged through . If you ’ve got some distance you’re able to melt down forth from this , but if you ’re up close you should rolltowardthe boss . Getting the timing down is tricky , especially since it ’ll throw out multiple waves at once .

As you ’ll see in the telecasting ( 1:54 ) , adhere to thesides of the bossis crucial for being able to do damage , and being able to invalidate a mickle of fire . As a upright bulk of the attack get along from the psyche of the gaffer , have it off where it is at all time is utterly crucial to being able to learn telegraphy of upcoming attacks . stick to the sides and behind gives you a good view , whilst also keep the flanks open for attack .

This chief penalise a less aggressive playstyle , as its range and speed will cut you down if you endeavor to go anywhere other than directly next to it . In the second form , you ’ve perplex to be wary of its lightning and frost attack . When it goes up in the air and volute in on itself ( 2:58 ) , it ’s commove up for one of these elemental burst attacks . length is your friend in these situations , especiallyif it ’s coiling up for a Robert Lee Frost attack . However , you ’ll require to close that aloofness as soon as the flare-up is over , and it’llveryaggressively penalise you if you remain away for too long .

Belurat, Tower Settlement - Where to Use the Storeroom Key

Once the dust has settled , catch one’s breath at the new Site of Grace that ’ll have pop up in the bowl , and snap up the item it dropped . This item is the head of the unearthly hombre you just vote out , which can be equipped and used to get a hidden NPC fundamental interaction in the area and nett yourself a dainty novel turn ( Watchful Spirit , which muster up a shielder spirit over your head ) .

To get this interaction , head back to the Small individual Altar Site of Grace , and take the left arch as you snuff it which you saw earlier . Kill those spellcasters on the bridge , and head for thedoor at the far death . Use theStoreroom keythat you picked up off that corpse to begin with , and head on in . Equip theDivine Beast Headyou picked up , and talk to the NPC on the right of the room . Being blind , she ’ll assume the what I can only imagine is ill-scented smell come from you mean you must be one of the Divine Beasts , and she ’ll be more than happy to talk to you and lavish you with kudos . She ’ll ask that you take her son with you to dispense some hard fought judge , and she ’ll grant you theWatchful Spiritspell .

And with that , you ’ve completed Belurat , taken out your first major boss , and likely realized the DLC is going to be far hard than you first thought by now .
