Thundering Mephis Location
The Thundering Mephis is found in theWithering Frontlinearea of theDesorock Highlandregion, near the north part of the map. There’s aResonance Beacon nearbythat can be used to quicklyglide down to the boss’s battlefield.
How To Beat The Thundering Mephis
As expected of a TD that embodies Electro, the Thundering Mephis useshigh-speed attacksthat can be difficult to consistently avoid. However, if you are able to get the timing down, all of this boss’s attacks can be dodged, and most of them can also beparried.
Parrying the Thundering Mephis’s attacks is a surefire path to victory, enabling you to remain on the offensive while negating the boss’s attacks. For this reason, you’ll definitely want to use amelee Resonator as your main DPS.
The Thundering Mephis will also occasionally teleport around,reappearing behind youor elsewhereoutside your field of vision. There are two methods for dealing with this. First, you’re able to try to quickly move the camera around and find where the boss has moved to, then get ready to dodge its incoming charge attack.
These teleport-dash attacks can also be parried, but have a much shorter window than the Thundering Mephis’s other parryable attacks.
Alternatively, with a bit more practice, you cantime out the duration between teleport and attack, and instinctivelydodge at the right moment. This strategy will involve quite a bit of practice, but will ensure you’re always able to avoid the Thundering Mephis’s attacks.
