Charybdis the Devouring Fight Strategy
Best Boon: Soot Sprint is an ideal boon that can be used for this fight. It destroys most ranged shots near Melinoe and inflicts Scorch on foes that fired.
Charybdis the Devouring is a huge boss found on the surface of Olympus. It uses its massive tentacles to launch its attacks that spawn from underground. The fight against Charybdis begins with the Call of the Devourer, where it summons 5 tentacles to attack Melinoe. Players cannot hit the monster directly but will apply damage by attacking the summons. The tentacles will swing themselves and smash the ground, creating a tremor on contact. This can damage a small AoE and can be dodged by dashing behind it.
As Charybdis' health drops to about 70%, the tentacles will start firing pink arrows. These arrows go in a straight line and can be dodged by going to either side of their trajectory. The movement is pretty slow so there's enough time to decide before it hits you. Take note that the arrows have a long range that will reach the entire arena.
When Charybdis calls back the tentacles, it will prepare for its next move called Orb of Fury. The boss will send out red orbs that will track Melinoe's movement throughout the map which explodes in contact. These orbs can be dodged by creating a distance between you and the orbs by running away and then dashing at the last second. It takes some time to practice the perfect timing but it is manageable. As Charbydis' health drops further below 30%, the red orbs will have a variation where it explodes into smaller orbs that will detonate once more.
After a while, the tentacles will also get an additional attack pattern called Tentacle Bladespin where it spins in place to damage everything in its path. This attack can be dodged by dashing right before the tentacle launches itself for a spin. Charybdis is one of the manageable bosses that you will encounter once you know its attack pattern. Ideally, you want to begin eliminating tentacles from either corner so you can focus on dealing as much damage as you can.
