How To Beat The Executioner Boss in The First Descendant
To beat the Executioner boss in the First Descendant, use toxic damage andFreyna Descendant, avoid electric laser attacks, and destroy mobs like King Fisher and Humming Birds. Moreover, you want to strafe and stay out of melee range to avoid a knife attack that lands on top of you, stunning you and dealing great damage. The Executioner will lock onto one target and shoot an electric beam with nasty damage over time effect, so make sure to dodge and constantly move side to side to avoid.
At the start of the battle, activate your Ecive scanner to see the Pink bar beneath the Executioner’s shield and health bar. Once filled, the boss will become immune to damage and have a distinct red canister. Players must destroy this item on the back to resume damage or wait for the phase to pass.
Additionally, kill the KingFisher mobs or they will stun you. The boss will summon Humming Birds above its head, aiding the Executioner. It’s important to target them immediately and destroy them. Also, you’ll want to shoot the shoulder until it becomes yellow. Once yellow,grappleto the boss and manually destroy the shoulder while the other players in your group do damage. This prevents the frenzy bar from progressing and will stun the boss shortly after it’s destroyed.
