General Combat Tips for Gnoster, Wisdom of Night
| How to Beat Gnoster, Wisdom of Night |
|---|
 Bring Neutralizing Boluses Against Poison Split Up the Moth and Scorpion Both Bodies Merge at Half HP |
Bring Neutralizing Boluses Against Poison
Gnoster uses attacks that can poison the player so before you face him on the third day, make sure to stock up on Neutralizing Boluses. These are essential to alleviating poison build up and curing poison during the battle.
Split Up the Moth and Scorpion
Gnoster starts the fight as two separate beings, a Moth and a Scorpion. Split your team into two to fight them separately away from each other.
If your team composition is two melee and one ranged, the two melee attackers should focus on the scorpion while the lone ranged attacker should distract the moth.
If your team composition instead has two ranged attackers, both should attack the Moth while the remaining melee attacker focuses on distracting the scorpion.
Fights Together at Half HP
When Gnoster is at about 50% HP, the Moth and Scorpion starts fighting together as one. After merging, Gnoster will charge at a targeted player indicated by a red mark on their character.
As soon as you see them start to merge, get as far away as you can from the boss and prepare to dodge sideways if you are targeted by its charge.
Combat Tips for the Moth
| How to Beat Gnoster, Wisdom of Night |
|---|
| Run Away When It Soars Into the Sky Get Out of the Poison Mist Immediately Watch Out for the Grabs |
Prepare to Dodge When it Soars Into The Sky
When the Moth starts flying up into the sky and charges up a sorcery barrage, prepare to dodge when it fires to avoid damage.
Get Out of the Poison Mist Immediately
The Moth can spread poisonous mist in an area in front of it by flapping its wings. If you’re targeted by this move, dodge roll immediately out of the mist to avoid getting poisoned which will damage you over time.
Watch Out for the Grabs
If you see the Moth start fluttering its wings to the left and then to the right, it will lunge towards you and attempt to grab you for an attack.
Be sure to watch out for this move specifically as it can be hard to react to compared to its other attacks.
Combat Tips for the Scorpion
| How to Beat Gnoster, Wisdom of Night |
|---|
| Watch the Sand to Dodge the Burrow Attack Use Forward Dodges Into the Scorpion Anticipate the Stomps When Next to the Legs |
Watch the Sand to Dodge the Burrow Attack
The Scorpion has a move where it dives into the ground before emerging onto a targeted player to hit them. When he does this, spread out away from your team and watch the ground for any movement.
If you’re the target, sand will start to roll up from under you. Time your dodge a bit after you see the rolling sand to avoid the burrowing attack from underground.
Use Forward Dodges Into the Scorpion
Most of the Scorpion’s slam attacks are aimed directly in front of it. You should be able to dodge roll forward into the Scorpion to get under it and avoid the attack completely if you see it getting ready to slam.
Anticipate the Stomps When Next to the Legs
If you’re attacking the Scorpion right next to the legs, it will respond with a stomping attack where it raises its legs to hit the ground. Anticipate this and avoid getting locked into long animations preventing you from dodging.
Combat Tips for Gnoster Final Phase
| How to Beat Gnoster, Wisdom of Night |
|---|
| Run Away from the Pillar of Light Dodge Sideways When It Charges At You |
Run Away from the Pillar of Light
After both the Moth and Scorpion start fighting together, its ranged attacks are indicated by a pillar of light where it shoots a laser from the sky that follows you.
Stay on the move and roll away from the pillar of light if it gets too close.
Dodge Sideways When It Charges At You
Gnoster will charge at a player at regular intervals once they fight together as one. To dodge this, repeatedly roll sideways to get out of its path.
Gnoster will usually do this charge around three times before switching to another attack so be sure to look out for consecutive charges.
Sentient Pest Locust Swarm Raid Guide
Avoid the Locust Swarm
A plague of locusts event will randomly occur in an expedition where a swarm of locusts will follow players. The swarm will periodically explode and absorb a level from players caught in the explosion.
If this event occurs in your run, we recommend you split up and run in different directions from each other to avoid the plague of locust explosions from overlapping.
Raid Events Guide
The Locust Swarm Can Absorb Multiple Levels
The locust swarm can absorb multiple levels if you get caught in an explosion multiple times, so make sure to split up and run away from the swarm once the event begins.
Follow the Locust Swarm to the Sentient Pest
Unlocked After Beating Gladius
Gnoster, Wisdom of Night is one of the Nightlords you’ll be able to face after defeating Gladius in the Tricephalos expedition. As a Nightlord, Gnoster is fought on the third day of the Sentient Pest expedition.
