Everything you need to know about The First Descendant’s Magma Fortress
In The first descendantYou will have to face many Colossi on interception missions. Colossi are formidable beings that you must eliminate alone or in cooperation to unlock access to the following areas of the game. The difficulty level increases with each interception battle and many players stumble when faced with Magma Fortress (“molten fortress” in English), a colossus of Level 130 which can be unlocked after defeating Frostwalker in hard mode. Before you start, it is better to know a little more about it:
| characteristics | Values |
| level | |
| Type of vulnerability | |
| Attack Attribute | |
| Attribute Resistance |
|
| Recommended Attribute Resistance | |
| Destructible objects for parties |
|
| Tear-off parts |
In other words, the Magma Fortress Mainly uses attacks from FireIt is therefore necessary to provide fire resistance modules up to 8400 or moreConversely, it is very weak against attacks from ColdTherefore, plan to have modules of this type for your ammunition, but also modules to increase critical damage.
Equip weapons with a high rate of fire for the destructible parts of the colossus, preferably machine guns like the Tamer. Snipers are also not a bad idea, Magma Fortress It is vulnerable to crush damage and can fire destructible projectiles.
Which legacies should be preferred over the Magma Fortress?
The Magma Fortress Since it resists fire and electricity, preference must be given to legates who can exploit its weaknesses cold and poisons with their skills. Therefore, it is necessary to have export in your team to use it Cold capabilities just to weaken and slow down the colossus. The boss has no special resistance to it Toxic substanceshave Freyna in a team is also not a bad idea.
As for the rest of the teammates, the composition of the team depends on your preferences, but we strongly recommend that you preferably have at least one support legatee Ajax because of its orbital barriers and tanking capabilities, but you can also choose Jayber who can heal you and also supports you with his offensive towers during the fight.
As always, you must prefer DPS for most of your characters, and you can complete your team with it, for example Joy or another export. In all cases, we recommend having legacies from Level 40and weapons from Level 100. Regarding fire resistance modules, even if attacks from the Magma Fortress are relatively easy to avoid, it is better to improve them to reach the recommended limit. Otherwise, you can focus on everything related to defense and max HP modules, and of course the Cold Attack modules.
Normal phase
First, note that the mechanics associated with this boss fight prevent you from challenging him alone. You must play with at least 4 players to be able to defeat him.
The confrontation against Magma Fortress doesn’t play out quite the same way as a classic interception fight, and the game doesn’t necessarily explain how it works. When you start the encounter, you’ll see that Magma Fortress appear in the middle of the field.
This boss is very imposing, but above all very slow, and his weak points are quite large, so you will have no problems shooting him. Also liked Armour on the sides of his shell, which are clearly visible, can be easily torn off and cause great damage. During the normal combat phase, the Magma Fortress moves slowly on the ground while lava flows beneath his body, which you can very easily avoid by keeping your distance to a minimum.
In terms of attacks, the Magma Fortress can fire missiles from his tank, especially to flush out Legates hiding high up, but also to attack those in front of him. In the same way, he can create a flare on his back that sends projectiles around him onto the field. But you can prevent it by shooting the volcano. He is also able to shoot one Magma Laserbut it only hits characters directly in front of it, so you can avoid it by moving sideways.
And like most bosses who Magma Fortress can also summon small enemies Kulbutos These must be eliminated as a priority to avoid being pushed back, losing unnecessary HP and, above all, to regain ammunition and HP and MP bullets.
Frenzy phase
Once you remove his shield Magma Fortressthe boss will hide underground in the middle of the field and 6 pylons will appear anywhere in the arena. Then he is invulnerable and will remain so until you have Connect all pylons together thanks to the electrical wiring harness at the top of each mast.
To do this, shoot from the right side of the target visible on the pylon until the arrow points to the right. This will align the harness to the right side and allow it to reach the next mast. Note that this only works if the target is whiteTherefore, you have to wait a few seconds between each shot.
Of course, the boss will try to stop you by throwing something Meteors in the air. If you look closely at the pylons, you will see 8 blue light bars just below the target. When the meteors hit the masts, the Light strips will change color. If the boss manages to hit a pylon 8 times, the alignment of the light beam will be reset.
To avoid this, you must shoot the meteors to destroy them before they reach the masts. This part of the fight requires some synchronization with your team, and we strongly recommend that you at least 2 Legates whose goal is to destroy the meteors while the other two ensure that the beam is directed in the right direction.
You will need to repeat the process two or three times during the fight, but keep in mind that during this phase the boss can cause Magma eruptions all over the field, so pay close attention Floor markings to avoid damage while you take care of the pylons. He will also be able to use this attack once he returns to the DPS phase, so stay alert and most importantly, keep moving.
