Phase Guide
Phase 1 (100% - 50% HP)
Attacks: Melee only
Mechanic: Summons minions
- Protect from Melee negates all damage from Araxxor AND minions
- Minions lose 5 HP per second and explode on death dealing massive damage
- Explosions create venom pools where minions die

Let minions explode near Araxxor to deal bonus damage to the boss!

- Move away from venom pools immediately
- Consider Aranea Boots to ignore web energy drain
- Position minions to explode on Araxxor for bonus damage
