Bosses(Tier 1-3)
Windcaller Kielda will summon tornadoes, and use knockback effects. Stun break her, and use stability
Halmi Hammerfell has strong attacks, like a big wind-up attack that he uses in front of him, which is easy to see but can get you down if you don't dodge. Dodge or get behind him
Doobroosh will get stacks of Hormonal Imbalance, increasing his size and damage dealt every time he is attacked. Loses stacks after being alone for several seconds
Suriel the Blazing Light will summon shadowy pools, and has a buff that makes her immune to damage. Get her to enter one of the shadow pools to do damage. Also, move into a shadow to gain immunity so you don't get knocked down to her special ability Solar Flare, but don't stand in this otherwise or it'll eat your health
Tyre Ragemaw deals more damage as his health drops. Using ranged skills will help
Masticus has high amount of health. Collect orbs that spawn to get stacks of Bloodlust, which will increase your damage
Salazan will throw fire projectiles, and use fire rings. Keep moving around to avoid the flame cones, and stay inside a flame circle. If you have the invulnerability ability you can leave the flame circle
The Crew of the Ravenous is a fight against multiple enemies. Captain Barricus gives swiftness, might and fury. First Mate Gaets does high damage. Master Gunner Adil calls on cannon strikes, and gives the others pistols. And, Stitches heals allies. One strategy that has worked is killing Stitches - Captain barricus - Master Gunner Adil - First Mate Gaets
Subject 7 separates into oozes that can heal Subject while being attacked. Use range attacks and distance the oozes from Subject 7, so walk around the arena in a circle
Deadeye Dunwell teleports, drops mines and has increased damage at long range. Use stun break, knockbacks and whatever else to make sure he doesn't use his headshot skill. Dodge any mines
Strugar and Chomper, Struger will throw meat for Chomper to give increased damage and movement speed. Chomper will eat mat gaining increased damage and movement speed. Kill Chomper first, by making sure you grab the meat instead of Chomper, after 3 meats are thrown he will die. You can finish off Strugar pretty easy afterwards by big DPS
Liadri the Concealing Darkness has two phases. Phase one, she will be protected by 3 stacks of an effect that make her invulnerable while she periodically summons an AoE attack that covers a 4th of the arena and inflicts massive damage. Cosmic Rifts also spawn, these rifts can be destroyed. Liadri also summons slow-moving dark clones of herself called 'Vision of Mortality' they will not attack but will down the player if they get close. The Visions can be killed instantly by leading them into whirlpools of light that appear on the floor When a Vision enters a whirlpool, both disappear and an Orb of Light appears at the same location. Picking up the orb and targeting Liadri with the skill it gives will remove a stack of her invulnerability. After Liadri's protection is gone she will take damage, but her AoE attack covers twice the area and she becomes mobile and uses more attacks, which cripple and weaken the player
Bonus Bosses
Turai Ossa is a pretty tough boss. But, you can fight him by avoiding combat for 35 seconds. After those 35 seconds, he will teleport to the middle and throw his shield. If you avoid getting hit by the shield, he will get 5 seconds of protection, then a defiance bar will appear. Deplete the defiance bar, as it will stun him and make him lose his sword, as well as Eternal Blade effect, reducing his damage
Master of Lightning is immune to CC while charging, and has a whirlwind skill that pulls you to her. Stay ranged when she is charging, break her stun, and then unload all your DPS
Pallia the Errant summons big orbs that float around and damages you if they hit you. Avoid the orbs, use CC to keep her at a distance, and stand in the orange circle and use the special skill
Champion Gladiator Waine does a big frontal attack. Dodge, or run around. CC when you can, and stay ranged and react fast to dodging
Suriel the Radiant Light summons bows. If they are up, she is immune to damage. Kill one of the bows, as if there is 3 it will immobilize you. She will also become vulnerable. Stay ranged, and CC her so she takes more damage
