Preparation for Beastfly Encounters
Confronting the Savage Beastfly in Pharloom requires strategic preparation. Key to your success are the essential traversal and combat upgrades such as the Drifter's Cloak to access the Chapel of the Beast, and Silk Storm for managing spawns efficiently. Additionally, the Reaper Crest will help with silk generation and extend your strikes. For those entering the Far Fields battle, unlocking Clawline is crucial for increased mobility. Utilizing tools and charms like Sting Shard, Flea Brew, Pollip Pouch, Magma Bell, and Magnetite Dice enhances your ability to combat this formidable foe.
Tactics in Hunter's March
The initial encounter with the Beastfly in Hunter's March requires attentive movement and well-timed strikes. The variable charge height makes mid-jump positioning a risk during its wind-up phase. Practicing runs focused on dodging can enhance your understanding of its attack patterns. The use of Silk Storm and tools is vital for swiftly dealing with minions, reserving silk for necessary healing actions. Utilizing the Reaper Crest for passive silk regeneration is beneficial.
Optimal combat strategies include pogo striking the Beastfly during its floor dashes and upslashes during high charges. Timing your strikes carefully when the Beastfly lands from a downward smash creates significant DPS opportunities. Positioning two Hornets away before a smash helps in exploiting these windows.
Overcoming Far Fields Challenges
In the Far Fields, the presence of destructible blocks and magma necessitates careful platform management. The Beastfly's behavior of shattering blocks can be manipulated to maintain safe platforms. Mastery of Clawline, double jumps, and floating maneuvers will assist in evading challenges posed by vanishing blocks.
Later phases intensify with the introduction of Tarflies that spread fire. Immediate elimination of Tarflies is critical, using tools like Sting Shard and Flea Brew for enhanced effectiveness. Capitalizing on enhanced poison damage from Pollip Pouch is advantageous.
Despite the Beastfly’s destructive power, the downward smash can occasionally eliminate Tarflies; however, reliance on this method is not recommended. Upon victory, collecting the Beastfly's drop and making a wish at the Bellhart board rewards players with a valuable mask shard.
Overall Strategy and Tips
Practicing dodge timing during charges enhances maneuvering strategies significantly. Silk Storm is indispensable for dealing with swarm management, and combining tools with poison maximizes damage output. The Reaper Crest plays a pivotal role in silk regeneration and extending reach, while mobility upgrades such as Clawline and Drifter's Cloak streamline movement and arena navigation. With thorough preparation and understanding of its attacks, both Savage Beastfly encounters can be tackled with confidence.
