How To Defeat Jamanra, The Abomination
There are two distinct phases to this fight. Jamanra will use different attacks in each phase, and you can find details on both below.
Phase 1
Here are each of the attacks he will use during the first phase.
Spear Throw
Jamanra will throw a spear of lightning at his target.
Watch the lightning spear anddodge at the last secondto avoid taking damage. Jamanra will use this attack repeatedly throughout the fight, so keep an eye out.
Thunder Spires
Jamanra will float two of his spears toward you, which will then create anexplosionon the ground, causing high damage in the area.
When you see the spears begin to float over, move far away to avoid getting hit. The area of this attack isdeceptively big, so give yourselfmore space than you think you need.
Spire Chain
Jamanra will float his spears in a direction, which will thenchain lightning to each otherbefore sending off an additional chain of lightning.
Similar to Thunder Spires,get clear of the spearswhen they start moving.
Spire Rails
Jamanra’s spears will move around theinner and outer circlesin the center of the arena, unleashing a continuous chain of lightning between the two.
One spear will moveclockwisearound the inner circle, while the other will movecounterclockwisearound the outer circle, all while lightning constantly chains between them. Do your best to stay outside of the range of both spears.
Lightning Wave
Jamanra will send out a wave of lightning from both hands, moving them to his sides in a sweeping motion.
This attack will begin at the front of the boss; attempt to quicklymove behind Jamanrato avoid the attack.
Sandstorm/King’s Attendants
A sandstorm will begin blowing from one side of the arena while King’s Attendant enemies continuously appear.
Asala will create a barrier to protect you from the sand. Stay behind the barrier as you kill all of the adds that appear.
Tracking Spires
Jamanra’s spears will fly around at random intervals, moving toward you while chaining lightning between the two when they are close to each other.
Stay on the move during this attack, as stopping for even a second will guarantee you get hit. This attack can be difficult to avoid even if you’re constantly dodging, so keep a flask charge ready.
During this phase, Jamanra mainly attacks using his lightning spears. The animations for a few of his attacks can look the same at the start, but in most cases, the method for survival is toget as far from them as you can, no matter which attack Jamanra is using.
Don’t skimp on using your potions throughout this phase. Once the fight transitions to phase two,all of your potion charges will be refilled, giving you a clean slate.
Jamanra will repeat the attacks detailed above until he reaches around65 percent health remaining, at which point he will become untargetable and destroy the arena, transitioning the fight into phase two.
Phase 2
Phase two takes place in a slightly larger arena, where he will use an entirely new set of attacks.
Notes
Tornado
Jamanra will summon a tornado that moves around the arena, dealing damage in its path.
Jamanra can createtwo to threeof these at a time, so keep an eye on them as they move to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
Lightning Sword
Jamanra will conjure a sword above his head before infusing it with lightning, then slam it on the ground in front of him, dealing high damage.
Jamanra willtrack your movement slightlybefore slamming the sword down, so wait for the last moment to safely dodge.
Spear Sweep
Jamanra will conjure a spear before sweeping it in a wide arc to his front.
Getbehind or away from Jamanrawhen the spear comes out to avoid getting hit.
Jamanra will throw a spear of lightning at you that explodes on impact.
This attack is animproved version of the one from the first phase. It will nowexplode where it lands, dealing damage in a larger area. Avoid it in the same way—bydodging at the last second.
Lightning Rocks
Black rocks will appear around the arena that chain lightning between each other.
Unlike the spires from the first phase, these rocks do not move, so simplyavoid walking through the chain lightning. These persist on the arena for a long time, and Jamanra can summonmultiple at a time.
Spear Barrage
Jamanra will summon several spears above his head before rapidly firing them toward you.
These spears can be avoided by dodging and then running when the first is fired.
Lightning Surge
Several small black rocks will appear around the arena that willperiodically be struck by lightning, dealing damage in the area.
Stay away from these small rocks while they are on the arena.
Lightning Orbs
Lightning will strike several parts of the arena, creatingorbs of lightningthat move in a straight line.
Watch the trajectory of the lightning orbs andmove to a gap between two of themto avoid taking damage.
Spear Gate
A portal will appear at the edge of the arena that will continuously launch projectiles in a straight line.
Jamanra can createmultiple of these gates at a time. They will greatly reduce your moveable area, so be extra careful. Sometimes, there may be enough space behind the portal to move to the other side of it if you’re careful.
This phase can get very hectic, with projectiles flying all over the screen. Luckily,each individual projectile is relatively harmless, and are mainly there to distract you fromJamanra’s sword smash attack, which will chunk your health in an instant if you don’t dodge it.
Keep the projectiles in your peripheral, butfocus most of your attention on what Jamanra is doing. That said, you definitely don’t want to linger in the spear portals or black rock lightning strike zones more than absolutely necessary.
As you may imagine, Jamanra deals a lot oflightning damage, so pumping this resistance as high as you can get it will greatly improve your survivability.Topaz Charmsandrings with lightning resistancewill be the most accessible options currently, but any piece of armor that you can get this stat on will be welcome.
Jamanra will repeat the attacks detailed above until you defeat him. Once Asala cuts off his head, the fight will be over.
