While the Mighty Silverfist is an optional boss, beating it will reward you with two Weapon Set Passive Skill Points, so it’s definitely worth the effort. Below, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about this boss, including tips for avoiding each of its attacks.
Where To Find Mighty Silverfist
The Mighty Silverfist is found in the Jungle Ruins map in Act 3, near the center of the map in a place called Temple Ruins. There is a checkpoint nearby that will let you quickly retry the fight if you die.
How To Beat Mighty Silverfist
Here are each of the attacks Mighty Silverfist will use, as well as how to avoid them.
|
Attack |
Description |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Pillar Crash |
Mighty Silverfist will slam its pillar down, creating a wave of damage that crashes forward. |
When you see the boss raise its pillar above its head, get ready to dodge to the left or right. |
|
Swing |
Mighty Silverfist will swing its pillar in an arc. |
This is the main attack that the Silverfist will use. There’s no trick to it, just get the timing of the attack down and dodge roll to avoid it. |
|
Roll |
Mighty Silverfist will roll forward, dealing massive damage. |
This is the attack that is most likely to kill you, because there is next to no telegraph to warn you that it’s coming. If you’re playing a ranged character, staying far from the boss will let you see this attack coming more easily. If you’re playing a melee character, have enough health and armor to survive the hit, then heal up. |
|
Whirlwind |
Mighty Silverfist will perform two sweeping attacks with its pillar before slamming it down, creating a crashing wave of damage. |
The boss will pound its chest with its free hands before performing this attack. When you see this animation, get ready to dodge through all three hits. |
Besides the Silverfist’s Roll, its attacks are relatively easy to avoid with a bit of practice. Timing your dodges is key to this fight. In fact, this fight will play out almost like a turn-based battle, where Mighty Silverfist attacks, you dodge and attack, then the boss attacks again.
Staying behind the boss as much as possible can make it easier to see each of its attacks coming, as it will have to turn toward you to use them, giving you an extra second to get out of the way.
Defeating Mighty Silverfist will reward you with two Weapon Set Passive Skill Points that you can allocate where you please, giving you a bit of added strength for the next few bosses in Act 3.
