Abilities

• Special Attack: Finger Gun (Requires Dodge)
  • Xesht points his right hand at the player, charging up an orb of air while tracking the player. Note: This attack is best avoided by getting close to Xesht and circling around him. If this is not an option, look for when the orb of air does a screen flash and dodge roll to the side.

• Special Attack: Triple Burst (Requires Dodge)
  • Xesht points both his hands at the player, charging and shooting 3 air bursts in quick succession while tracking the player. Note: Staying close and circling Xesht is the easiest way to avoid this attack. If this is not an option, look for the screen flash and be ready to dodge 3 times.

• Special Ability: Hand Smash
  • Xesht summons a hand that hovers above the player, tracking them before slamming down. Note: Look for the outline of the hand’s shadow on the floor. When it starts glowing, dodge roll out of the slam. This ability does massive damage if not avoided.

• Special Ability: Burrow
  • Xesht burrows into the ground, chasing the player. After attempting to chase you, or if he catches you, he stops and smashes both his hands together, slicing the ground in a line.

• Special Ability: Sun Orb
  • Xesht summons a fire orb above him, throwing it at the player’s location. Note: This is a slow-moving attack that is easy to avoid.

• Special Ability: Summon Tul
  • Xesht summons a white icy hand that pulls Tul out of a portal, who shoots a barrage of ice projectiles in a cone while tracking the player. Note: This attack can freeze you if you get hit too many times by the ice projectiles. Try to circle around Tul to avoid getting hit by the ice projectiles.

• Special Ability: Summon Esh
  • Xesht summons a blue lightning hand that pulls Esh out of a portal, who charges a growing lightning explosion that travels outwards. Note: This can easily be out-ranged, but it does limit the space in the arena while happening.

When Xesht reaches 60% health, he does a transition and gains the following abilities:

• Special Ability: Arm Slams
  • Xesht channels a purple portal above him before summoning 4 arms from portals on the ground, in quick succession. Each of the arms slams at the player’s location. Note: These arms will spawn periodically throughout the rest of the fight, trying to hit the player.

• Special Ability: Combo Summon
  • Xesht summons both Tul and Esh to use their abilities at the same time. Note: This makes it hard to avoid Tul’s Barrage, but it can be out-ranged if you use the walkways of the arena.
