Shactuka Patterns
Shactukais a straightforward,heavy-handed bossand has a sizable delay between his attacks. Save yourBrink Guardsfor the very last second when his arms come down to attack, and prioritize his head. After most of his attacks,Shactukawill lose his balance and slide onto his back or side. Instead of hitting his back, aim for his head with your stronger combos and charged attacks.
Shactukausually follows up with a back kick to players who try and get around him. You’ll know he’s about to kick when his crowned head is lowered, dodged backwards, or blocked. Rely on your dodging and punish the easy-to-hit openings whenever the boss hits the ground, and useBrutal Blowwhen you exhaust his stamina to progress toPhase 2.

Phase 2begins whenShactukadrops to 50% of his health. He’ll let out a mighty bellow and power up. His plague build-up will be twice as potent in this phase, so take aPlague Resistance Potionimmediately while he’s transitioning betweenPhases.His delays remain the same, but the majority of his moves will now be infused with plague, so ensure you consumePlague Cleansing Potionswhenever the plague build-up hits half if you happen to be blocking more than dodging.
Shactukawill begin getting reckless with his moves, almost always following up with a lunge and falling onto his back or side more often. However, he also deals higher damage to compensate, so don’t let your guard down. Keep exhausting him and dodging his plague-infused claws, and bring him down.
