General Tips

Strategy

When Encountered Indoors

If you lot're struggling to defeat the Fallingstar Fauna, consider using a 100% Physical Defence shield and focus on blocking/rolling until you lot're able to survive for a decent corporeality of fourth dimension against the boss. Only once you're comfy dodging and blocking its attacks should you start attacking yourself . Note that you'll only exist able to cake ane of the dominate's attacks before running out of stamina, so let get of block afterwards blocking a large hit to let your stamina regen (you'll have to curl if the boss attacks again).

You lot can block all of the single-strike attacks, only y'all'll need to dodge the rest with positioning/rolling . Every bit with virtually big enemies, rolling diagonally past the boss is more often than not safer than rolling backwards .

When Encountered Outdoors

You'll desire to exist mounted for this fight (unless you really hate riding Torrent). Summon your spirit(s) before you arroyo the crater the boss spawns in, and then stand near the praying enemy so that the dominate's starting time charge takes him out. This accuse attack is the dominate's opener every time, and is also the most dangerous move. To avoid it, simply continue riding horizontally until the boss'southward first accuse misses, and so switch horizontal directions while the boss turns around to charge again. Information technology'll charge 3 times, with the third charge including an attempt at flipping its target into the air.

The rest of the boss's attacks are best avoided past tapping the sprint button (to make Torrent gallop) when the dominate starts an assault animation. If y'all're certain it'southward a melee/tail set on, ride straight away. Otherwise, ride diagonally (to avoid a potential Rock Fling ) until y'all're out of range, and then in a circle (all the dominate's ranged attacks can exist avoided past riding in a circle around the dominate).

For ranged characters, this fight is pretty like shooting fish in a barrel. The boss volition often idle between attacks, giving y'all ample opportunity to attack from max range. Don't be greedy, and only attack when the boss is idle, or while it's finishing an attack and you're safely out of range.

Melee characters volition have information technology a little tougher, just once y'all learn the boss's various attacks and combos, you'll be able to find enough of openings to practice damage. By and large , stay just out of range of the boss'southward tail and ride in a circle. Get close plenty for it to start an assail, and so ride out of range, so quickly go in as soon equally the attack is ending and get some impairment in earlier riding away .

If you've got enough HP and flasks, exist greedy and become a few hits in, otherwise assault in one case and so immediately ride away. A notable attack window is during the boss's Lighting Strike : you can freely attack the boss while riding in a circle for the first few strikes, then tap dart and ride away from the dominate as information technology begins the fourth attack, then get dorsum in for more damage while information technology roars.

If you lot really find yourself struggling on Torrent, try the fight a few times on human foot — you may find it easier!
