Shattered lineage, third biome in SarosCharacteristics of an aggressive animal as its owner. Rhabdom might remind you of the Apex you can find in the first biome, who likes to jump around the arena. However, this boss has more tools up its sleeve.
The good part is that Rhabdom only has one health bar, so it can be a bit easier, or at least faster, than the rest of the boss fights. On the other hand, this creature loves violence. In this guide, we'll go over everything you need to know about Rhabdom and tips for beating the boss in Saros.
How to Beat Rhabdom
As you enter the arena, you'll see Rhabdom making his entrance. You will have a few seconds So first of all, you have to use your grapple to reach the higher platforms on the right and left side, before the boss actually starts moving. Pick up the ether there.
There will be four ethers to pick up if you need them. If you're already at full health, you can drop them when you take damage.
Rhabdom may be one of the first attacks The creation of dozens of yellow projectiles and rings on the ground. You should be shooting the boss from one of the higher platforms as this is happening, and keep this in mind The projectiles will go up later. Fortunately, these aren't homing, so you'll be fine as long as you stay on the platform.
Following this trick, the creature can be (Now yes) Spit a group of blue homing projectiles. You should take advantage of this and absorb every single projectile with your shield. This way, you'll have your power weapon ready to deal with chunks of damage.
Once you drain more than half of Rhabdom's health bar, the blue homing projectiles will turn yellow. You can still absorb them if you have a certain Armor Matrix upgrade, but if not, dash them.
Rhabdom is a repetitive motion most of the time A series of jumps at your location, exploding with nova projectiles (red ones). Each time the owner touches the ground. You can't block or dash through nova projectiles, therefore Get as far away as you can From Rhabdom when it starts jump.
The boss jumps three times in a row, so it can quickly approach you. However, there is a little strategy you can play here: Get close to grappling points. When you use them, You are invulnerable for a few secondsAnd you also get away from danger quickly.
I shoot Rhabdom as much as I can in other moves, and when the jumps start, I start moving between grappling points one after the other. Remember that a triangle icon must be below the point to use it.
Your newly unlocked Overdrive will give you a big hand in this fight, so use it as soon as possible. This time will be slow, so don't worry about missing your shot.
Rhabdom is the last trick from the repertoire A series of yellow projectiles in straight lines that go forward. The boss will shoot pretty much anything in quick succession, and you can either dash to the side or run past them. Since they are wide, I cross each line to be sure.
And it is much more. When Rhabdom's health bar is below half of it, It can start adding more projectiles to its movesBut there are no significant differences other than what we mentioned with homing projectiles.
Unlock a second chance in your Armor Matrix skill tree, so you can die and respawn once during battle.
