Windrose Charons Obols Guide

You have successfully made your way to the third major hurdle in the game, and it is completely understandable if you are looking for a Windrose third boss guide! It can be a very challenging encounter. The main mission will thankfully guide you to this boss, explicitly pointing out the location, but please note it requires you to be at least level 13. Because the entire map is randomly generated, you might find it located in the southeast side, depending on your world. If you want to defeat the swamp boss smoothly, here are some helpful details to keep in mind.

Preparation: Gearing Up for Success

If you enter the fight unprepared, it can be quite difficult. A gear level 12 setup is the absolute minimum recommendation for this encounter. You will also want to utilize the Windrose rested buff strategy, meaning you should rest at your base to stack up your buffs, including a specific ranged weapon buff, before heading out.

Combat Execution: Do Not Choke

This boss has both ranged and close-quarters attacks, meaning you will need to stay on your toes! Your primary objective is to target the floating sphere. If you are wondering how to break the boss's bubble, you can use the shotgun you prepared earlier. Shattering it grants you a critical chance and knocks the beast to the ground for a few precious seconds.

• Keep moving around the arena as best as you can to avoid incoming damage.
• Once the creature is knocked down, swap to your blade and safely hack away at it.
• Target the Charon's Obols weakness. Specifically, focus your attacks on the bright red flower on its body.

You will want to aim for a Red flower critical hit to maximize your damage output. Many players ask about the best ranged weapon Windrose has to offer for this encounter, and while a high-damage pistol works well, a properly upgraded shotgun is generally considered superior. Try to stay at a safe distance whenever the boss is upright to avoid taking heavy damage.
