How to Beat Bulbous Bao Guide

[1] Don't Let it Rattle You.

BossAttack1

The Bulbous Bao's tusks can generate concussive waves that inflict Daze, limiting your vision and mobility. Many of its attacks leave behind lingering shockwaves, so avoid standing in them to prevent the status ailment from building up.

BossAttack

After shattering its right tusks, it loses the ability to generate these resonating waves and resorts to physically overpowering its targets instead.

[2] 3,2,1... Let It Rip!

BossAttack

During the second phase, the boss decides to become a living spinning top, ripping through anything in its path before crashing directly on top of its target. Don't try to block it as it will overwhelm your defenses, roll away or use the invisibility frames of your skills.

[3] The Rotund One has More Tricks Than You'd Think.
