Strategy

Dodge the enemies

The place is packed with many insect enemies and many times you’ll be facing swarms of them in one go. Instead of relying on brute force, simply dart past them to get by unscathed. Doing so helps you save up on recovery items.

Flamelurker

Using equipment that grants good fire resistance allows you to mitigate damage from Flamelurker’s fireblasts. Good options include the Binded Cross armor set, Purple Flame Shield, and Ring of Flame Resistance.
