The attack’s range is narrow, and it can be dodged or avoided if you are not too close to the boss. Once the attack ends, move towards the boss and counterattack.

Shadow-Spiller Boss Attacks Strategy and Counters

Defeat the monster with tentacles before engaging Shadow-Spiller. Its tentacle strikes are predictable, with a set pause between attacks, making them easy to dodge.

Once it has attacked, close in and deliver a sequence of attacks to deal damage.

Shadow-Spiller

The main strategy against this mini-boss is to counterattack each time you avoid the attack patterns mentioned above. In particular, when it slams its tail on the ground, it becomes vulnerable to significant damage. Watch out for Shadow-Spiller’s attack indications, and retreat if you see one.
