Ancheladus Lost Ark World Boss Strategy, Loot & Location

Location

You can easily spot Ancheladus at the top area of Red Moonshade, a region in Feiton. To track the boss, you will need to check the calendar in-game. Click on the date and go to the ‘Field Boss’ tab. This will help you get spawn times of all Field Bosses on your server. However, if you are in Feiton, you can go to Red Moonshade and observe the spawn time countdown of the boss.

Boss Strategy

While Ancheladus sounds scary, beating him is not a very complicated task in Lost Ark. Players just need to keep a note of few things. He spawns Bloody Moon Shards on the north, east, south, and west directions relative to his position. Players need to destroy these Shards first to expose Ancheladus. He will probably change position suddenly. This should indicate the right moment to attack. Save your damage increase bonuses for this moment and use it at one go.

A few other mechanics which Ancheladus features are:

  • Wide slam – Ancheladus will slam a wide area. It’s best to avoid this attack or dodge it at the right moment.
  • Rupture – Ancheladus will make a 360-degree ring around himself surrounded by rock spikes. He will then channel a spell and unleash the spikes. It’s best to move at a safe distance before the explosion.
  • Expanding Rings – The boss will invoke rings of rocks splattering at players. These rings will expand and give rise to more rings from the center. We recommend dodging these rings, but keep in mind that it’s tricky to get around them.
  • Suckerpunch – Ancheladus will create red circles on the ground, which burst to spawn small golems who will try to hit you.
  • Mid-range ring – Similar to Rupture, but a little shorter. This one is easier to dodge and ranged characters can dodge it effortlessly.
