The Abyss, Golden Star's Arena
Walkthrough
- 1Head to the quest marker in the arena to encounter Golden Star, the golden metal dragon boss
- 2Observe Golden Star's position at the start — it will sit in different corners of the arena
- 3Watch for Golden Star's attack patterns based on its position: front left (rocks then fire), back
- 4Left (explosives), right wall (claw attacks)
- 5Grab the spears from the blue glowing generators on the sides of the arena
- 6Throw spears at Golden Star when it's sitting still to damage it
- 7When Golden Star sits on the right wall and breathes fire, attack its exposed claw for heavy damage
- 8Dodge the orange floor outlines indicating explosive attacks from the back left position
- 9After sustained damage, Golden Star becomes stunned on the ground — attack with full force
- 10Repeat the pattern of observation, spear attacks, and claw hits until victory
- 11After defeating Golden Star, watch the victory cutscene and skydive to its body location
- 12Collect the power core from Golden Star's body to complete the quest
Tips
- Golden Star has one main health bar — recognize its corner position to predict attacks
- Front left position: rock and fire attacks — keep your distance and use spears
- Back left position: drops orange-marked explosives — move away from the outlines quickly
- Right wall position: its claw is vulnerable while breathing fire — this deals the most damage
- Grab spears from the blue generators consistently for maximum damage output
- Stay mobile throughout the fight — don't get cornered by explosive attacks
- The stun phase after sustained damage is your highest damage window — unleash everything
- This is the most challenging quest in Chapter 11 — take your time learning the patterns
