The King, the final boss in Saros, presents a formidable challenge that requires both strategy and patience. To emerge victorious, you must study its attack patterns and exploit key weaknesses.
Understanding the King's Attacks
The King has three primary phases. In phase one, it unleashes a sweeping claw swipe and a ground slam that creates shockwaves. Dodge these by rolling sideways or timing a jump. Phase two introduces a homing projectile and a summoning of minions. Use the environment for cover and prioritize eliminating adds to prevent being overwhelmed. In the final phase, the King channels a massive laser beam that rotates across the arena. Stay close to its back and sprint to avoid the beam.

Equip a high-damage weapon like the Plasma Rifle for ranged combat, and keep a fast-hitting melee weapon for close-quarters. Stock up on healing items and stamina boosters. Armor with shock resistance is invaluable for reducing damage from area attacks.
Phase Strategy
- Phase 1: Stay mobile, attack after dodging slams, and retreat when the King glows red.
- Phase 2: Focus on destroying summoned minions quickly, then return fire on the King. Use projectiles to interrupt its charge-up attacks.
- Phase 3: Keep distance and circle the arena. Only attack when the laser sweep ends. Watch for fake-out charges.
Patience is key. Learning the telegraphs and conserving resources will ensure victory. Good luck, and may you claim the throne.
