You can’t allow the Sky Scorcher to nest in the forest, so follow the lead you got to the Totem Shrine, where you fought the WereOwl duringA Farmer for the Keep.
Fast travel to the Totem Shrine and restock at the merchant outside the entrance if you’re missing any items, especially ammo – it will be essential to this fight.

Dodge underneath the Sky Scorcher’s deadly tail whips,aiming to get behind it and fire from afar with your ranged weapon to whittle down its HP.

Pursue the Sky Scorcherto the marker, andexamine the deceased owlin the center of the arena before the Sky Scorcher attacks.
As always,initiate combat as soon as you canby firing a few shots of your ranged weapon at the Sky Scorcher.
Once it lowers its tail, swipe at it with your melee weapon to preserve ammo and continue depleting its HP to the next threshold.
Avoid the fiery breath attacksand continue your onslaught of ranged and melee attacks, depending on whether the Sky Scorcher’s tail is within reach.
When only 33 percent of the monster’s HP remains,it will flee for the last time,retreating to a familiar arena:the Underoot Ditch.

With the Cultists defeated,the Sky Scorcherlurking in the backgroundwill join the fight,so swap back to your best electric and poison weapons.
We found the most success with electric weapons if you’re struggling to decide between them.
Avoid the red glow on the floorthat indicates the Sky Scorcher’s powerful attack, and look out for itsfiery breath attacks that can explode and hit you from range.
This Sky Scorcher follows the same patterns as the others you’ve fought, so keep an eye on its tail and thered or yellow markingsthat appear around its mouth, which telegraphs whether you must dodge or parry the oncoming attack.
Ranged shots are your best friend in this final phase, and will help to do major damage with minimal risk, defeating the Sky Scorcher.
