False Son attacks and how to dodge them.

Fissure Slam

Slams his club and opens 5 columns that move outwards for 7 s.

How to dodge it: Sprint sideways: almost all his close-range moves are dodged by sprinting.

Corrupted Paths

He dashes at you and follows up with the slam.

How to dodge it: Do not get cornered at the edge.

Tainted Offering

Throws 9 projectiles in a diamond that inflict Lunar Ruin.

How to dodge it: From far away most of them miss.

Lunar Rain

Phase 2: 7 pillars fall that work as cover, but after 21 s they glow and explode.

How to dodge it: Use them as cover and step away when they start to glow.

Laser Gaze

Phases 2 and 3: he leaps, and the giant statue in the background tracks you with a laser for 9 s.

How to dodge it: Get behind a pillar or wall: it is the only thing that stops it.

Prime Devastator

Phase 3: he leaps with the club and sends a lightning bolt that disables your skills for 420 s, plus 4 orbs that spin out and explode.

How to dodge it: If it hits you, go to an Aurelionite Geode: it removes it. Save them for this (they take 30 s to come back).
