The Shepherd boss awaits at the end of the Acolyte's Haven biome in Saros. To emerge victorious, you must learn to dodge its devastating attacks and exploit its weaknesses.
Understanding the Shepherd's Moves
The Shepherd attacks with powerful slams and sweeping strikes. Watch for its wind-up animations to anticipate and evade each blow.
Key Strategies
- Stay mobile – Constant movement is essential to avoid being caught by area-of-effect attacks.
- Attack during recovery – After the Shepherd finishes a combo, it will be briefly stunned, giving you a window to deal damage.
- Use the environment – Pillars and obstacles can block the boss's line-of-sight and provide temporary cover.
Phase Two
When the Shepherd's health drops to 50%, it will enter a rage phase, increasing its attack speed and unleashing new patterns. Focus on survival and chip away at its health when safe.
Recommended Loadout
Equip weapons with high stagger potential and armor that boosts mobility. Consumables that grant temporary damage reduction or health regeneration can tip the scales.
With patience and practice, the Shepherd will fall. Stay focused and learn its rhythms to claim victory.
