Tips for defeating Beloth
He’s not very complicated from a mechanical standpoint. He doesn’t have very many attacks, he just hits like a truck and has a ton of HP.
Ignore the Torches
There are a whole bunch of unlit torches around Hoenmark Ruins. They do provide protection from the blizzard, but you have to be standing right next to them, and none are inside the actual boss arena.
More importantly, each lit torch summons a flying wraith enemy that blasts you from the sky. You can defeat them quickly with Blinding Flash, but when you get a lot of them, they can overwhelm you.
We aren’t sure if something happens if you light all the torches, but there’s no quest objective associated with them and there are so many that it would be difficult to tell if you truly got them all.
How to Stop Getting Constantly Frozen
The only real tricky thing about Beloth, the Darksworn is the surrounding blizzard, which reduces visibility, freezes you in place, and makes you take damage over time.
You can completely prevent these negative effects and make yourself completely immune to cold weather by getting Lv 15 Ice Resistance.
You could just stack an Ice Resistance Food buff with Frostward III and a Cloth Cloak, but you’ll take more damage with Cloth Armor, have to manage a buff that probably won’t last the whole fight, and sacrifice combat proficiency by using a bunch of Abyss Gears.
The best way to do make yourself immune to Ice is by wearing the Frostcursed Plate set, or at least the Kuku Ice-Resistant Armor and Froscursed Plate Cloak, which give you that combined Lv 15 Ice Resistance.
Make Proper Preparations
Aside from getting Lv 15 Ice Resistance, we recommend making the following preparations before fighting Beloth, the Darksworn:
- Refine and use a full set of tier 9 or 10 equipment (at least second to last upgrade)
- Repair your gear at an Anvil and Grindstone
- Level up at least enough Spirit, Stamina, and HP to when you would have to start using 5 Artifacts and 5 Materials for 1 level
- 11 Health
- 10 Stamina
- 8 Spirit
- Spend at least ~150 Abyss Artifacts on Skills
- This is the number required to unlock most or all Skills and satisfy the previous requirements
- Use the following Greater Elixirs right before the fight starts
- Freya’s Greater Elixir (+30 Defense)
- Apollina’s Greater Elixir (+10 Attack)
- Meliara’s Greater Elixir (+225 Max HP, +3 Attack Speed)
- Use a full set of combat-oriented Tier III or Unique Abyss Gears and swap out a couple for relevant Greater Abyss Gears
- Example 1: Swap out a Destruction III for a Greater Destruction
- Example 2: Don’t use Abyss Gears like Ascent I or Haste II
The idea with Greater Abyss Gears is that they’re rare and have durability, so you want to save them for special occasions
