Guide The only thing that makes Imaru any hard is this dude
Bro camps in some corner and spawns one skeleton every 0.2 seconds that takes 2 hits to die and takes out half your endurance bar. During a boss fight.

Air enchant a mele weapon, use a whetstone, wear your salve amulet, and focus ads. It's not too bad if you keep this focus!

Also, you can enchant before you enter the tower, I enchanted my staff and mace before I entered. Shot at him when he flew around, switched to melee when he got to the ground. Air runes for magic too.

TBH I found it to be a cakewalk. The main only thing that took me way too long to realize at the end of the fight you have to fight in spectral form to deal damage admittedly it took 10 minutes to figure out, after I ran out of food lol. But i was successful on my first try

That and the glitch that launches you into orbit.

Wait that’s a glitch? It happened to me & I thought it was a FEATURE

u/Onasixx 1h ago
Aside from the fact that it is a feature, there is literally a glowing red schism or mark on the floor for about 3-4 seconds which is a telegraph, the amount of people who have just stood on that been sent about 40 foot into the air and then go "stupid game, stupid glitch" is actually beyond me. Not only that, but the schism follows another move where you HAVE to dodge, so you should never be stood on it anyways. People either tank it or dodge and then run back onto the mark lol
Did none of you play World of warcraft ever?
Most simple, "stay out of the bad" mechanic there is.

If you hide behind one of the braziers when Imaru goes spirit mode then it skips the phase and this dude doesn't spawn.

u/scratchy_mcballsy 8h ago
Does imaru only do a partial heal if you skip this phase? Or to max health?
1
u/piximeat 8h ago
I didn't notice any healing.
1
u/scratchy_mcballsy 7h ago
I’m pretty sure I read that the point of the phase is so imaru self heals. Maybe I didn’t notice it in the fight because I was locked in.

u/Sputnikss 8h ago
just tried this on hard. I couldn't hide behind the braziers without getting knocked back, but managed to tank the hit with tempest shield. It does skip the first spawns but you get more later, so you still need to learn to deal with him

When you are inside looking at gate, you can jump on rock to the right and just glitch this fight with crossbow, but make sure u have legendary one with cd reduction. You still need to make final phase but it is way easier.

this worked nicely, died at the last part but I am ready to finally beat this guy, thanks

u/Old_Diggy 8h ago
He's so much weaker than the ones you run into in the wild. He was easy to kill during the fight but the wild ones just nuke your health bar and the skeletons he summons are even worse

u/Iron_cow2 4h ago
I just give him a good smack over the head with my mace. This is what mace is good for.

u/pm8938 11h ago
Kill adds. Dodge. Heal. That’s how you kill imaru.
1
u/Ionenschatten 7h ago
Don't need to kill the adds tho, need to single out this mofu, kill him, then kill the adds. Otherwise you galways are surrounded by 6+ adds.

u/Hefty-Security-4465 8h ago
Wait.. This guy was in the fight? Why do I not remember that, maybe I bum rushed Imaru so quick I didn't even get to notice other mobs but I stg I never saw a single other mob besides Imaru and the ghost people when she went ghost mode like my ex on friday nights

u/Ryzedfate 9h ago
Indeed!
Run any mage kit with a steel/iron 2-hand. Thralls and summons are 2-3 hits and no more than that.

u/Coresant 8h ago
I've only attempted Imaru once so far.. got her down pretty low, and the skeletons would spawn on top of the wells and I would just run to the next one and kill them at a distance.. not even sure what got me at the end. The floor spikes/stones weren't coming through the wells. Some knock back effect knocked me off the platform.. I've yet to retry.

u/Necronam 8h ago
Either cast Confuse on him or charge him with an Air-enchanted Zombie Axe. I died on this fight (hard mode) probably five times using magic before I tried melee and killed her easily first try.
1
u/Ionenschatten 7h ago
I didn't know this fight had one of them. I thought it just regularily spawned up to 6 thralls and would replenish them at will until reddit said there's a necromancer to kill. Suddely I had like 2 thralls spawning every 25% HP threshhold- which i 2hit.

So the first time I tried yes I agree. I got destroyed. Second time I literally just stood on one of the fountains and used my fire rune staff ability. The floor and fire attacks can’t hit you. Only thing that hits is the wither rot shots and blasts but they barely take any health. For some reason these guys didn’t even spawn lol.

u/riten91 4h ago
There is better spot on rock to the right, u can left click imaru until last phase

u/cat5ecrimpin 4h ago
I feel like a lot of these boss fights, harder enemies, or large groups require doing a strat like this when your playing solo lol.

The first time I did this fight, I didn't even realize you were supposed to wither and attack in the spirit realm, so I just kinda stood around every time she started blastin and ate afterwards. Never had any adds spawn and just whacked her to death when I could. Only when I ran her more on my friend's world did we figure this out, and (obviously) going in to beat her down instead of tanking was much faster. Never had any problems with the skeledudes really, just dodged or beat them to death expeditiously.

My 3rd attempt i got lucky and he only spawned once with 2 skeletons. Never spawned again during the fight made winning super easy

u/Ok_Comedian_6471 2h ago
Using melee most in this fight fixes this problem. I only use magic when the dragon is flying or in spectral form

Just treat the time you are supposed to phase as a time to clean these guys up and eat. You only have to actually phase at the very end for the final few blows
1
u/ThexMarauder 1h ago
My advice? Just skip the phase sections entirely. If your ranged or magic just swap go your melee weapon and block with Tempest shield. Absorbs all of the damage a d doesn't summon the skelly mobs until like ¾ health.
