• Special Attack: Finger Gun (Requires Dodge)
  • Xesht points his right hand at the player charging up an orb of air while tracking the player. Note: This attack is best avoided by getting close to Xesht and circle around him. If this is not an option, look for when orb of air does a screen flash and dodge roll to the side.

  • Xesht points both his hands at the player, charging and shooting 3 air burst in quick succession while tracking the player. Note: Staying close and circling Xesht is the easiest way to avoid this attack, if this is not an option look for the screen flash and be ready to dodge 3 times.

• Special Ability: Hand Smash
  • Xesht summons a hand that hovers above the player, tracking them before slamming down. Note: Look for the hand’s shadow outline on the floor. When it starts glowing, dodge roll out of the slam. This ability does massive damage, if not avoided.

• Special Ability: Summon Tul
  • Xesht summons a white icy hand that pulls Tul out of a portal, who shoots a barrage of ice projectiles in a cone while tracking the player. Note: This attack can freeze you if you get hit to many times by the ice projectiles, try to circle around Tul to avoid getting hit by the ice projectiles.

• Special Ability: Summon Esh
  • Xesht summons a blue lightning hand that pulls Esh out of a portal, who charges a growing lightning explosion that travels outwards. Note: This can easily be out-ranged but does limit the space in the arena while happening.

• Special Ability: Arm Slams
  • Xesht channels a purple portal above him before summoning 4 arms from portals on the ground, in quick succession. Each of the arms slams at the player’s location. Note: These arms will spawn periodically throughout the rest of the fight, trying to hit the player.

• Special Ability: Combo Summon
  • Xesht summons both Tul and Esh to do their abilities at the same time. Note: This makes it hard to avoid Tul’s Barrage, but it can be out-ranged if you use the walkways of the arena.
