Ogham Interlude Boss Guide

In Path of Exile 2, there is a greater focus on boss fights that feel engaging and difficult, even while playing through the acts. This guide will go over boss damage types, boss attacks, and how to deal with them in the Interlude campaign after Act 4.

When progressing through PoE2, certain attacks must be dodged, indicated by the boss flashing red and an accompanying sound cue. These attacks and abilities are highlighted in bold with the text (Requires Dodge) throughout this guide.

Isolde of the White Shroud and Heldra of the Black Pyre

Zone: Scorched Farmlands.

Damage Type: Physical, Cold, and Fire.

Isolde and Heldra are a mini version of Biera of the Rotten Pack and Ignagduk, the Bog Witch.

Throughout the entire fight, Isolde and Heldra will have a baseline for the attacks they use on the player. At specific health thresholds, they will begin using new attacks; however, the following will remain the same until she has been killed.

Isolde

• Attack with her sickle when in melee range.
• Fires five ice shards in a row; she tracks the player doing this attack.
• Fires ice shards in a 180-degree arc in front of her.
• Special Ability: Detonate Dead

• Special Ability: Summon Wolves
  • Isolde will unearth five wolves and resurrect them to fight for her.
• Special Ability: Frost Sigils
  • Isolde will cover the arena in small, circular cold area-of-effect telegraphs. After a short period of time, these will erupt into ice spikes, damaging the player if they’re hit. Note: These ice spikes have the ability to also damage her wolf summons, and can be used to the player’s advantage.
• Special Ability: Ice Nova
  • Isolde summons small ice spikes around her after a few seconds. Upon casting Ice Nova, the ice spikes will travel in straight lines from the boss. Note: Look for gaps in the circle of spikes around Isolde; those areas mark the safe zone for the player once the spikes begin to shoot out.

Heldra

• Throws a fireball at the player.
• Special Ability: Infernal Corridor
• Heldra summons two walls beside the player before sending a wall of fire through the corridor that splits in a V-shaped pattern when it gets to Heldra.

• Special Ability: Flame Dash
  • Heldra will dash around the arena.
• Special Ability: Flamethrower
  • Heldra charges up and channels a beam of fire from her hands.

It is best to focus on killing one of them first instead of splitting your damage among them.

Godwin and Sigbert

Zone: Holten.

Damage Type: Physical, Cold, and Fire.

When you kill one of them, the other one will consume the other’s power, and after a short delay, be at full health again. If you die after killing one of them, that one stays dead even after respawning.
The best strategy is to get both of them low and kill one of them, then burst the other down while they are consuming the other’s power, thereby avoiding the empowered stage of the fight.

• Special Attack: Fiery Stomp (Requires Dodge)
  • Godwin stomps the ground, sending out three walls of fire that grow the further they get from Godwin. Note: There is a gap between the two outer walls and the middle one that gets bigger the further they travel from Godwin.

If you kill Sigbert first, Godwin gains the following ability:

• Special Ability: Supernova
  • Godwin channels and creates a large circle around himself. After a short time, he explodes and deals damage in that large circle.

Sigbert

• Slams his hammer at the player
• Special Attack: Ice Crash (Requires Dodge)
  • Sigbert holds his hammer in the air, freezing before slamming it down, releasing a burst of ice spikes in the area around the slam.
• Special Attack: Ice Spikes
  • Sigbert taps his mace on the ground, creating minor sigils that erupt in spikes of ice when he slams the ground.

If you kill Godwin first, Sigbert gains the following ability:
