- Boss Location: Crumbling Farum Azula
This optional boss is found at the end of Crumbling Farum Azula, and guards the entrance to the fight with Maliketh. However, you can run past him and enter the boss fight with Maliketh, so he clearly isn’t a very good guard. This can be a challenging fight, as you cannot summon and the boss does lots of damage with almost all of its attacks. However, we’ve got some tips and tricks for you, plus an easy (albeit slow) method to cheese this boss.
General Tips
- Armor with high Lightning and Fire defense can help you avoid dying to the boss’s ranged attacks.
- The boss is fairly resistant to every damage type, but is especially resistant to Fire and Lightning.
- While you’ll often end up staggered, bringing a shield to this fight can help melee characters learn the dodge timings without dying so quickly.

This boss goes all the way to the bottom now. I didn’t realize how far back he was pushing me down the hill until I dodged back and did a Polish skydive off the edge.
Thank you for reporting that… kind of strange, I tested using ranged attacks on him just a few days ago and the boss would leash back to the start. Is it possible you were attacking him constantly and therefore preventing him from leashing? Either way, I’ll make a note in the guide that sometimes he doesn’t leash and you’ll need to start kiting back the other direction.
I think From may have patched this. I tried and I could only get him down to about 1400 health before his health bar would reset
