What it teaches

  • Timing 7/7Stagger Xarpus stare-phase attacks across quadrants, keep P2 tick-walks around the pools and beat the target time
  • Movement 6/7Dodge Bloat's limbs for the whole fight, rotate between Verzik P2's poison pools and run pillar to pillar from P1's debris
  • Gear switching 6/7Hit every Nylocas with exactly its own style, since a wrong-style hit reflects damage back at you
  • Extra enemies 6/7Freeze all eight of Maiden's Nylocas each wave, kill the Prinkipas fast and clear Verzik's persistent Nylocas
  • Prayer 5/7Read Vasilias's next style and spread or stack for it, and pray through Verzik P3's triple yellow shots
  • Resources 5/7Make fewer supply-chest points cover far more damage across six longer rooms
