Wrath Boss Fight Guide
Arena: Howling Geode · Location: Starstone Mines
The first major boss encounter of Duskfade, fought inside the crystalline cavern of Howling Geode between Starstone Mines and Mount Cinder. Wrath serves as the foundational test of telegraph recognition, double-jump avoidance, and combo punishment.
"Wrath represents the pent-up volcanic rage of the clockwork mountain. Trapped within geode crystals, its chassis is fueled by molten ore and fractured time gears that ignite upon contact with air."
