Key Mechanics

x260 Saws

Heart pylons spawn in cardinal positions and saws spawning around the map. The saws will dash following their red indicator.

Destroy the pylons. Afterwards rotating beams will spawn, destroy the middle heart as fast as possible. During this Aegir will perform a Perfect Block, press "G" when he's at the highest point of his jump.

Hard Mode changes the way you destroy the heart pylons.

The saws become counterable at the red indicator. Following the counter an area will appear, your position within this area changes the direction of the red indicator, meaning that it will point to the opposite direction you are in the area. You should aim this towards the heart pylon you wish to destroy.

Afterwards, a stagger bar will appear begin, successfully completing the stagger will launch the saw in the previously specified direction. Each pylon requires 4 saws to destroy.

Each wave of saws will be followed by a Perfect Block.

Side Room

  1. Kick
  2. Spears
  3. Repeat

Kick

A large orange indicator will appear in the middle, spawning a leg which then swings towards the wall and kicks down.

Hug the wall on the top left to avoid getting hit by the swing, make sure to not stand in the middle otherwise you'll get stunned.

Spears

Three spinning spears will spawn, each with its own red indicator. They will then be counterable.

Hand (Hard Mode)

The player furthest away from Aegir will get marked, then a large hand spawns in that location. Make sure to keep this away from the party.

If you move past the edge of the battlefield, you will be teleported to the opposite side. If this happens 7 times you will die.

During this phase you will be exposed to new mechanics.

Stagger Check

Aegir disappears into the ground, then reappears at an ordinal position and commences a Stagger Check. Dodge the red telegraph and stagger him.

Wall

Aegir will teleport to the middle and spawn a wall that moves from one side to the other. Use Avele to destroy the wall.

Ground Explosions

Aegir raises his hands and spawns several explosions across the battlefield.

There are two variations, in the variation where only two large explosions spawn make sure to not stack the explosions on top of eachother and spread out.

Aegir floats up and slows down time, he will then cast several attacks. Get behind his as soon as possible to avoid the attacks.

Slash

Aegir's weapon becomes longer and glows red, he will then slash 3 times, each leaving a trail of explosions.

The initial slash shows you where the explosions will be.

Aegir points his gun forward, creating rotating pizza attacks.

Orbs

Multiple large orbs spawn, Aegir will then stab one of them. The position where he stabs is the safe spot.

Aegir spins his pole and pulls in a targeted player, make sure to stay far away from him. His following attacks are all back safe.

x165 DPS Check

Aegir stands on top of a heart again, firing lasers in cardinal positions and commencing a stagger check.

After staggering him, he will start a DPS check in the form of a shield. Break his shield, then the heart within the time limit.

Every 15 seconds, as seen on his buff bar, he will execute a Perfect Block. Press "G" when he starts slamming his spear down.

After the first perfect block you should use Ealyn. When you DPS away his shield, use the follow-up to destroy the heart and deal damage to Aegir. If you do this successfully, you will skip the next mechanic, if not you will have to go through the Side Room and Dimension mechanics again.

A cutscene will play. When Thirain speaks, use Ealyn for a special interaction.

If you don't use Ealyn, you will simply have to complete a stagger check whilst dodging a laser and root.

Last Phase
