How To Craft The Wind Organ Of Wildness In Core Keeper

With Azeos, Omoroth, and Ra-Akar dead in Core Keeper, and their souls imparted to you, it’s time to move forward to the next creatures that live within The Core. In each of the middle biomes, a particular Titan that embodies the land digs beneath it, and each holds another soul you need.

Druidra embodies the fury of Azeos’ Wilderness while Crydra embodies the icy depths of the Sunken Sea, and both of them must be defeated if you wish to take on the strongest Elemental Titan, Pyrdra. They won’t go down without a fight, and you’d best be prepared before calling them to you.

How To Prepare For Druidra And Crydra

Both Druidra and Crydra are similar in power to the Atlantean Worm, but unlike it, you don’t need any vehicles to fight them, as both are intended to be fought on land​​, even though Crydra roams the Sunken Sea.

Like other bosses, you’ll want to have a decent number of potions with you, around 15 to 20 between the two bosses, depending on difficulty, as the boss can do some powerful attacks that will stick to your location.

Regular Healing Potions can work, but preferably, you should have Greater Healing Potions, which are made from three Poison Slime and five Heartberries ​​​​​​at a Laboratory Table.

Make sure to use the Repair Table to Reinforce all your armor and weapons, as this doubles the durability and gives them a slight buff to their damage​​​​.

You’ll also want a decent supply of food with you that’s been made from mid-to-late-game crops and fish, such as Pinegrapples, Bloat Oats, Golden Darts, Dark Lava Eaters, or Sunrice.

Anything from the Sunken Sea, Shimmering Frontier, and Molten Quarry sub-biome, or the Desert of Beginnings, will give you the best food restoration and health-over-time regeneration for this point in the game.

Recommendations For Melee Characters

Like with other bosses at this stage in the game, Galaxite and Solarite armor are the best options for defense while being easily obtainable.

Alternate sets like Omoroth’s Armor Set, Godsent King Set, Magma Set, and Hazmat Set outperform them in terms of damage bonuses, but require more exploration or farming bosses to find.

Earlier-obtained armor sets like the Hivebone Armor can also work, but you’ll need to use an Upgrade Workbench to upgrade them several levels, which costs a lot of resources and Ancient Coins, but can still be worth it.

For weapons, you’re back to having a lot more viable options since there are no terrain challenges. Anything will work well for both Druidra and Crydra, though the Anchor Axe and Crystal Shard Club are standouts for raw damage.

The Prehistoric Crystal Spear ​​​​​​also does good if you’ve found it, while crafted weapons like the Solarite Sword offer good stats and the ability to proc boss soul skills.

Recommendations For Ranged Characters

If you’re doing Ranged Damage, you’ve got several options for armor. If you don’t mind not having armor, the Tassel Set will still give you high damage, but you could also use the Godsent King Set, Cosmos Armor for great defense and a damage boost that applies to all damage types, or even Omoroth’s Armor Set.

The Scarab Armor can be used in combination with Thorns-giving accessories to get good offense and defense, but you need to have the three-piece set bonus to have the Thorns Damage added to your Ranged Damage.

Due to the wide open spaces you’ll be fighting these two bosses in, the Galaxite Chakram isn’t as good as usual since you likely won’t have many walls it can bounce off of, but it’s still useful. The Solarite Bow, Bubble Gun, or the Phantom Spark, if you don’t mind exploring, are better choices this time.

Recommendations For Magic Characters

Since you’ll need access to the Shimmering Frontier to be able to fight these bosses, one of the best sets for this point in the game is the Arcane Monk Set, which drops from all the enemies and breakables in the Shimmering Frontier, as well as the Alien Tech Lab scenes that spawn within.

If you still have some older sets, like the Scholar Set and Lilypad Set, you can also use the Upgrade Workbench to upgrade them to be mostly on par with late-game sets like the Arcane Monk one.

For weapons, the Scholar Staff and Zealot’s Scimitar still stand out for their damage and availability, but if you’ve already found The Passage biome, Pandorium Ore, and a Rift Statue, you can also craft the Chaos Staff for better damage.

Recommendations For Summoner Characters

The Grim Set, found by breaking breakables, opening Smoldering Chests, or killing enemies or Igneous the Molten Mass in the Molten Quarry sub-biome, is still the best set for Minion Damage and Minion Count for this point in the game.

Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, offers an improved minion-related armor set, but she’s an end-game boss intended to be fought after the elemental Titans and requires much more preparation to defeat.

Since there’s no water to deal with as well, any type of Summon will work well for this fight, but the standouts for damage and availability, whether you’ve upgraded them or not, are the Tome of the Dead and Tome of the Deep.

How To Track And Summon Druidra And Crydra

Both Druidra and Crydra are roaming bosses, and the best way to locate them is to craft their Scanners at an Ancient Hologram Pod and use them so you can see and track their path in their respective biomes. Other than the ore bars, they need the same materials:

How To Craft The Hydra Altar

While the Scanners are crafted at the Ancient Hologram Pod, the summoning items needed for Druidra, Crydra, and later Pyrdra, are crafted in a separate location: the Hydra Altar.

To craft this specialized workbench, you’ll need to begin by obtaining both Solarite Ore and Gleam Wood from the Shimmering Frontier biomes, refining them in a Fury Forge and Table Saw, and then upgrading your Galaxite Workbench to a Solarite one.

The Shimmering Frontier biomes spawn along the edges of the Azeos’ Wilderness, Sunken Sea, and Desert of Beginnings, and you’ll want protection from Radiation damage to get Radiation Crystals, Solarite Ore, and Gleam Wood safely.

How To Make Druidra Surface

To make Druidra surface and start the fight, you’ll need to craft the Wind Organ of the Wilderness, which can only be crafted at the Hydra Altar.

The boss summoning item then needs to be placed down while Druidra is active on the map, but you don’t have to be directly within its path or near it to summon. As long as you’re within a couple of hundred tiles of Druidra, it can be summoned and will come to you.

How To Make Crydra Surface

Summoning Crydra requires you to have beaten Druidra, as to craft the Wind Organ of Ice needed to make it surface, you’ll need to obtain and use the Pink Hydra Eye from Druidra’s reward chest.

Watch Crydra’s path on the map and select a spot along it to clear out as an arena for fighting it to give yourself plenty of room to fight, and reduce the number of enemies that can potentially bother you.

Because Crydra’s path is mostly in water, you’ll need to find a section of land within its path to place the Wind Organ of Ice onto, but it doesn’t need to be close to Crydra. As long as you’re within a couple of hundred tiles, it will be summoned and come to your location.

How To Beat Druidra The Wild Titan

Druidra is the easiest of the three Elemental Titans and introduces you to the main mechanic of their fights. Each Titan starts with a yellow Shield Bar that protects it, and you need to do damage to this bar until it’s gone, which then stuns the boss and allows you to damage it.

While it isn’t stunned, Druidra will circle the area it was summoned in, and alternate between a handful of attacks:

• Druidra charges up a yellow beam, which starts slowly and increases in speed, and tracks your movement closely.
• Druidra slams down and does AOE damage in a circular radius.
• Druidra lunges and does a quick bite.
• Druidra summons thorns around itself that do contact damage, and spawns a special Nature Worm enemy after a few seconds that roams and charges at you.
• Druidra pauses and roars, summoning a vacuum wave that begins pulling you in and dropping some blocks randomly in the area. After a few seconds, it causes a massive burst that does high damage and pushes you back.

Work to get down that Shield Bar as quickly as possible each time it comes up from the ground, and if it does the beam attack, you can continuously circle it while it’s still charging up to full power and continue damaging it, or you can use an Off-Hand like Azeos’ Feather to dodge far enough away or a Shield to block most of the damage.

When Druidra does its windstorm and starts pulling you in, use an Off-Hand item to dodge out of the range of its pull, or you can use one of the fallen blocks to hide behind, and avoid the damage wave after.

The range of the wave covers the entire area of the storm that Druidra summons, so as long as you aren’t inside that radius, you won’t get hit.

If it summons the thorns and Nature Worm, focus on and get rid of the worm first so it doesn’t cause any issues, and the thorns will despawn on their own as soon as they’re dead.

Due to the stunned phase being temporary, you’ll need to deplete the Shield Bar a minimum of four times to kill Druidra regardless of your damage output, as the damage to its actual health is capped at around 25 percent, and it’ll automatically regenerate its shield once that limit is hit.

Overall, the most dangerous attacks are their laser and the vacuum wave, but as long as you utilize the fallen blocks or an Off-Hand, you can minimize a lot of the damage they do.

Once Druidra is dead, you’ll be rewarded with Druidra’s Soul, and a chest will spawn, guaranteed to give you three Pink Hydra Eyes and two Jungle Emeralds, and then the chance for drops such as the Hydra Bone Shins, Hydra Tooth, Druidra’s Ring, and other Azeos’ Wilderness loot.

How To Beat Crydra The Ice Titan

Crydra fights very similarly to Druidra and is the second strongest of the Elemental Titans, only behind Pydra in terms of power and abilities. It has the same mechanic of having a Shield Bar you need to damage first, and upon being depleted, it causes Crydra to be stunned for several seconds, allowing you to damage its Health Bar.

They also share several attacks: the small AOE slam, quick bite, player-tracking laser beam, and the vacuum wave that causes blocks to drop and will charge briefly before sending out a blast. Crydra introduces a new attack and a new mechanic for its fight:

• Crydra spits an ice blast that summons a stationary Ice Crystal that begins shooting two lines of ice shards that rotate clockwise, doing a lot of damage if you’re caught in it, and they last for several seconds.
• During the entire fight, Crydra will also have a clone of itself that performs the same attacks as backup, but is immune to damage, meaning you’ll essentially be fighting two Crydra at one time.

Because of the secondary Crydra in the fight, an Off-Hand that either allows you to teleport or dodge like Azeos’ Dash Feather, or a Shield that blocks incoming damage, such as the Scorching Aegis or Octarine Shield, is pretty much mandatory unless you’re going to rely on high movement speed or high dodge.

Take this fight the same way as you did Druidra, but this time you’ll need to watch for the clone’s attacks the entire fight, but you’ll ultimately need to focus on Crydra only.

If you see Crydra summon the Ice Crystal somewhere, you need to take it out immediately, as getting caught in it can chew through even late-game armor, especially if you get hit by a main attack at the same time.

Whenever either of them does the laser, try to line the lasers’ paths up so you don’t need to split your attention between both of them and can dodge both at once.

Fortunately, the clone doesn’t summon the Ice Crystal, so all it does is the laser beam and the vacuum wave, and they cannot use the vacuum wave at the same time, so you have a chance to take cover from it, no matter who uses it.

Like with Druidra, you’ll need a minimum of four phases to beat the Crydra, as the damage done while it’s stunned is capped at around 25 percent, no matter your damage output.

Once Crydra is defeated, the clone will disappear, and you’ll receive Crydra’s Soul as a reward, along with a guaranteed drop of three White Hydra Eyes and two Ocean Sapphire, as well as the chance to get the Hydra Bone Shield, Hydra Bone Breastplate, Crydra’s Ring, and some regular Sunken Sea loot.
