Tactics For Defeating Griefbound Rowena

Here are the strategies and tactics for this Griefbound Rowena boss guide that you need to employ to defeat her easily:

• When it comes to damage, there is nothing that damages Griefbound Rowena more than the Inferno Spells. So if are able to use them on your character, make sure to buff up your Inferno stat as much as you can before the fight. Any other type of burning damage also does the job.
• Just like in the previous fight with Kinrangr Guardian Folard, Griefbound Rowena will start the fight with s screech that awakens undead mobs that you will need to deal with. Only this time there won’t be any Umbral Entity empowering it.
• In Griefbound Rowena’s case, these mobs are designed to keep you at a distance from her as she is not that strong defensively. These mobs are a constant appearance in this fight as she will summon more if you kill them. It’s best to avoid and go around them and focus on Rowena. Only kill them when you are surrounded by them with no escape.

• Be careful of her ice shard traps as it is easy to get cornered into one due to the small space in her boss fight arena.
• Griefbound Rowena uses a lot of ranged attacks. This boss fight will test your awareness to the max as you will need to dodge these ranged attacks while managing the constant cornering from the Umbral undead entities that she summons.
• Make use of the arena as much as you can for this fight. Stalling yourself in an area too much will result in a lot of ice attacks lingering there, as well as the constant approach of the Umbral enemies towards that area.
• Keeping in line with the previous point, you should also make use of the several walls and corners you can use as cover from a lot of the attacks Rowena does.
• Rowena can teleport around the area at will, so make sure you stay aware of your surroundings if you see her disappear. It is crucial that you know where she is popping up next so you can avoid the attack.
• When you attack her, it’s best to only get a few hits in and then dodge away quickly before she does her AoE blast attack. It will hurt you if you are close to her. Doing a few attacks at a time works because she is fragile and loses a lot of health per hit.

• Also, be cautious of the Ice Breath attack as staying in and around the breath can build Frostbite on your character very quickly. If it’s any assurance, she will drop a Frostbite cure when defeated. So, you don’t have to worry about it after the fight.
