How To Beat Augur in Elden Ring Nightreign

In Elden Ring Nightreign, Nightlords serve as the formidable final bosses of their respective expeditions. Among them is Maris, Fathom of Night, the central adversary of the Augur expedition. Fortunately, Maris is generally considered less challenging than some other Nightlords, largely due to her less aggressive combat style in her initial phase. This guide provides comprehensive information to help you effectively defeat Maris, Fathom of Night, in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Elden Ring Nightreign: How To Beat Augur

Overview of Augur (Maris, Fathom of Night) in Elden Ring Nightreign

Maris, Fathom of Night, is predominantly an aerial boss, which inherently favors ranged damage-dealing classes. Therefore, incorporating a character like Ironeye into your team is highly recommended for this encounter. Maris has two distinct phases, with the second phase triggering once her health drops to 50%.

• Phase 1: Maris exhibits lower aggression, allowing for more consistent ranged damage.
• Phase 2: At 50% health, Maris undergoes a significant shift:
  • She spawns numerous tentacles across the arena. These tentacles act as environmental hazards, attacking players who venture too close. They can generally be ignored if you maintain your distance.
  • Crucially, her aggression increases considerably in this phase, mitigating her primary weakness from Phase 1.

A vital mechanic to remember is that staggering Maris will cause all spawned tentacles to disappear. This means your primary focus throughout the entire fight should always remain on dealing damage to Maris herself.

Weaknesses of Augur (Maris, Fathom of Night)

Maris, Fathom of Night, possesses a singular, but exploitable, elemental weakness: Lightning. This limited weakness likely serves to balance her otherwise lower aggression in her first phase. Leveraging Lightning-based attacks will significantly ease the challenge of this boss fight.

• Recommended Classes: Both Ironeye and Recluse are excellent choices for this encounter due to their ranged capabilities, which are crucial given Maris's aerial nature and tendency to move out of melee reach.
• Expedition Preparation: During the Augur expedition, prioritize raiding camps marked with lightning icons. This will help you acquire Lightning-infused weapons, abilities, or items necessary to exploit Maris's weakness effectively.

Tips to Easily Defeat Augur (Maris, Fathom of Night)

Success against Maris relies on smart preparation and execution during the fight. Here are some key tips:

Save Ultimate Attacks for Phase 2: Reserve your powerful Ultimate abilities for when Maris transitions into her second phase.

• In Phase 2, Maris will descend to the ground and begin emitting an AoE (area of effect) sleep aura. This signals preparation for a potentially devastating attack that could one-shot your entire team.
• During this vulnerability, unleash Lightning attacks and your Ultimate attacks to quickly stagger her and interrupt this deadly ability.

Utilize Ranged Classes (Ironeye & Recluse): As an aerial boss, Maris is inherently susceptible to ranged damage.Ironeye and Recluse's projectile-based attacks are highly effective forconsistent damage output, regardless of Maris's position.

Exploit Melee Windows: While ranged characters excel, melee players will still find windows to land hits, especially when Maris descends or is staggered. Be ready toclose the distance and strike during these opportunities.

Interrupt Ultimate Attacks: Maris has another critical Ultimate attack where she creates teardrops that fall to the ground.

• Ranged units are essential here: They must focus fire and destroy these teardrops before they hit theground and unleash their effect. Failure to do so can lead tosignificant team damage or debuffs.

Manage Tentacle Hazards: For the most part, maintaining distance from the spawned tentacles will allow you to deal uninterrupted damage to Maris.

Watch for Dive Attacks: While generally predictable, Maris does perform a dive attack. Keep a close watch on her movements to anticipate and dodge this maneuver, even while focusing on her core weaknesses.

By focusing on ranged combat, prioritizing Lightning damage, savingUltimates for crucial moments, and managing her secondary hazards, youcan effectively defeat Maris, Fathom of Night, and successfully complete the Augur expedition.
