Best Strategies
Strategy 1—Ranged
Range Combat: Keep your distance from Igneous. There are two primary styles of ranged attacks: summoning orbs of flames and firing fireballs.
Movement: Keep moving to avoid his fiery and bounce attacks. Be prepared, as his speed increases when below 50% health.
Strategy 2—Melee
Melee Combat: Close-range fighting's pretty tough because of Igneous's ranged attacks. Use the best armour and healing potions, dealing as much damage as possible.
Survival: Be prepared for stomping attacks and take care with your positioning, lest you be overwhelmed.
