Where you fight it

  • Dimension: Aeolia.
  • Floor: Howling Harbor.
  • Phases: 3.
  • Achievement: Sweet Petrichor.

Attack patterns and phases

  • Electric-arrow lunges, expanding shock waves fired three times in a row, and rain-soaked arena hazards.
  • Patch 1 fixed his broken interphase cinematic and added a shield bar.

How to beat it

Widely rated the hardest and most dynamic boss of the Early Access build.

Aeolia bosses reward mobility: a spear with a kiting build lets you poke between hazards while staying on the move.

Learn the telegraphs first — every attack has a wind-up you can dodge — and make sure your weapon is upgraded before you commit a farming run.

Drops

Defeating Monte drops Boss material + 2 chests (drop name not documented).
