How To Beat Bellerian In The First Berserker: Khazan
Bellerian is a magic caster who players will have a relatively easy time fighting against until she starts summoning undead assassins and powerful specters to aid her. Similar toTrokka’s boss fight,players must stay on the offense and keep close to herat all times to prevent her from using most of her long-range projectiles.Her spellcasting can also be interrupted by constantly attacking her, which staggers her quite often. Try to stay aggressive and force her into the Exhausted state, allowing you to land a Brutal Attack.
Most of her attacks cause Heft, increasing the amount of damage you take, while some attacks may also cause you to temporarily lose vision, making her attacks harder to dodge.The only way to avoid these effects is by trying not to get hit by her attacks consecutively. She can also inflictElectrocutionorFlamebuildup with most of her attacks, somake sure to bring potions and resistance accessoriesfor the fight.
If you’re low on potions, you’re able to alwayscraft more at the Blacksmithor buy some from theBard, who sells them at a reasonable price. He can be found in several locations, and it’s hard to miss him, thanks to the alluring tune he plays, which seems to draw players in from afar.
Most of her summons are easy to deal with and should not pose much of a threat. However, theSoul Harvester can change the outcome of the fight. Its attacks hit like a truck, and it has multiple combos where it hits you with a 6+ strike sequencethat you must Brink Guard. Even if Bellerian is just 2-3 hits away from defeat, you won’t be able to damage her while the Soul Harvester is alive, as she remains in the air.
