The Dead Bride is one of the most challenging Colossi bosses in The First Descendant. She can one-shot teams with her ‘Dome’ attack, teleport to different positions to surprise players, and throw icicles that are difficult to spot. Breaking her armor requires constant hits from a high-damage sniper to her exposed areas such as her shoulders and knees.
5 Important Tips For Defeating The First Descendant Dead Bride
The recommended Chill Resistance for the First Descendant Dead Bride Colossus is 1600. However, that won’t stop the Level-scaled boss from dealing immense damage. Even Level 40 players can struggle to defeat the Colossus unless they are familiar with this Dead Bride guide.
Follow these tips to ensure that you have the last laugh against the Colossus boss:-
Equip Fire Mods On Your Weapon
The First Descendant Dead Bride Colossus is weak to fire damage. Consider equipping mods that boost the ‘fire-power’ of your weapon. Moreover, you can choose characters who specialize in dealing Fire Elemental Damage with their Skills such as Blair. Slot mods such as Fire Specialist and Focus on Fire to reduce the character’s cooldown and increase his damage output.
Keep A Reasonable Distance From The Colossus
The closer one is to the Dead Bride Colossus, the higher the chance that they will be hit by the boss’ projectiles. Maintain distance from the target and pay attention to her teleportations as she can close the gap between the two of you. The icicle attacks of Dead Bride are usually slow and can be evaded by strafe firing, only if there is enough time to react for the player.
Destroy Kingfishers To Regain HP and Ammo
Kingfishers can chip away at your character’s health as well as that of your teammates. Destroy them as soon as they spawn. Kingfishers provide health, ammo, and Mana Points, the latter of which are consumed after using Skills. A reasonable tactic is to ignore the constructs until one’s health and mana are low after which they can divert their attention from the Dead Bride to destroying Kingfishers.
Use The Grapple Hook To Avoid Touching Lava or Escaping The White Dome
The effectiveness of Character positioning cannot be stressed enough in this Dead Bride guide. Players must only focus on dishing damage to the boss but also be aware of where they stand. The Colossus’ attacks appear as a circle on the ground during which players must be quick on their feet. Moreover, she can turn the ground into lava, leaving only a few areas.
Apart from running away from the AoE attacks, Grapple Hook can be used to swiftly change position. The item is most crucial for evading the Dome attack of The First Descendant Dead Bride Colossus. When a white-colored Dome appears on the Map, escape from the area because it deals massive DoT. Also, avoid stepping into the lava while using the Grapple Hook.
Play Solo To Negate The Dead Bride’s HP & Attack Scaling
An HP- and Defense-scaled Dead Bride boss can be problematic in The First Descendant. The Matchmaking can also be unfair, pitting a Level 30 player with Level 40 teammates to deal with the scaled boss. Thus, most players can choose to play solo instead of tagging along with a squad. The Bride Colossus has fewer hitpoints and shield in a solo fight.
While trying to solo the boss Elden Ring-style, choose the best weapons in The First Descendant such as Perforator, Python, and Thunder Cage.
