To beat the second phase of the Yellowbrow boss fight, you will encounter the Macaque Chief mini-boss. Here are the detailed steps to help you navigate this phase:
### Second Phase: Macaque Chief
**1.** **Understand the Mechanics**:
– The Macaque Chief is a mini-boss that appears in the second phase of the Yellowbrow fight. It is slightly more challenging than the initial phase but still manageable with the right strategies.
**2.** **Identify Key Attacks**:
– **Thunder Stomp and Follow-Up Pulse**: The Macaque Chief will perform a thunder stomp followed by a pulse attack if you get too close. These attacks are slow and telegraphed, making them easy to dodge.
– **Lightning Projectiles**: He will fire lightning projectiles that can be dodged by walking around them or using a dodge roll.
– **Mace Swing and Lightning**: When he swings his mace in the air, he will summon lightning orbs that will fire at you in three waves. Three consecutive dodges are usually enough to avoid these projectiles.
– **Ground Slam with Lightning**: He will slam his mace to the ground, causing a quick wave of lightning. You need to jump or dodge this attack. There is also a variation where he swings the mace around first before sending out the lightning.
– **AOE Attack**: When the room is filled with lightning orbs, he will perform a big AOE attack. You need to get away from him and wait it out to avoid taking damage.
**3.** **Combat Strategy**:
– **Aggressive Play**: You can play this phase quite aggressively. The Macaque Chief’s attacks are slow and not particularly difficult to avoid, especially if you’re familiar with his patterns.
– **Rolls and Backing Up**: If he performs a series of slashes, you can back up with two or three rolls and wait for the next gap to attack again. Be aware of his ability to disappear and then blink back in to perform a powerful slash.
– **Lightning Ring**: He may put a ring of lightning around himself, which you can avoid by moving to one side of the circle and then dodging side to side as the lightning orbs come down.
**4.** **Focus Points and Heavy Attacks**:
– If you have Focus Points stored up, you can use them to briefly stagger the Macaque Chief. This can create an opening for heavy attacks, which are more effective against his golden protection form.
– Try to save your Mana and health until you get through at least one of the phases where he will automatically hurt you. This will help you manage your resources better during the fight.
By following these steps and strategies, you should be able to navigate the second phase of the Yellowbrow boss fight effectively and move on to the final phase.
