Siege Breaker

Act: I

Location: Corrupted Chamber in the Highland Keep

Attack Phases
This boss has a shield just like the corrupted sentinel, except he will not be as easily stunned, as well as his stuns won't last as long. He also has a lot more health than the previous boss. His different attack phases are just like the Slayers, in that the main difference between the two is the attack speed.

This boss is a bit more complicated, with roughly four types of attacks (re-occur in this order):
 * 1) Regular Attacks (1-2) - These are when he strikes the ground with his hook
 * 2) Regular Shield Attacks (2-3) - These are wen he strikes the ground with his shield
 * 3) Flaming Shield Attacks (1) - Same as above but instead it is a "special attack" so his eyes will glow red, and he will lift his shield up slowly. It will also catch fire. When he strikes the ground, he will set a large amount of ground to his right and left on fire.
 * 4) Hook Attacks (1) - He will give no warning, but throw his hook in your direction. It will fly past you (or hit and pull you in) very fast and then come back in very fast, so make sure to watch for both.

Strategies
It is very important to note that every single one of his attacks only effects the side he is facing, except for the flaming shield attack. Make sure to run away when this attack is about to happen, just like the striking attack from the Slayer.

The Hook Attack is an interesting mechanic, because it is very deadly, and you have to be looking carefully to even see it clearly. It also has no real warning, other than the fact that it comes after the flaming shield attack. You will already be farther away from the boss because of the fire, so you can use this to your advantage and have more time to make sure you time your jumps and double jumps well to avoid it. Also, if you are just that good, you can attempt to blip back and forth through the moving hook. This is a difficult way to do it, but its very helpful if you can.

If you get caught in his hook, or his fire, or any of his attacks unexpectedly, use your new mending flask when you get the chance. It will help a ton.

Rewards
Your reward will be a fragment, which is a part of the nexus gate, which will signify that you have finished Act I and allow you to move on to Act II. Congratulations!
