The Mega-Dracon in168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Hades 2 is not the only dangerous miniboss to find on your ascent to Olympus. Harder to find but also exceptionally harder to fight, Talos will put everything you know about the automatons of Mount Olympus into real combat practice🐬.

Complete with flying projectiles, wide melee attacks, and devastating damage output, Talos is everything you'd expect to see from a miniboss leading up to the ever-di🌠fficult Prom♏etheus. With the Titan of Foresight around the corner, you'll want to master this miniboss to ensure you're walking into that boss fight healthy and armed.

Talos Move Descriptions And Counters

Talos's moves are punishing not because they're new to the eye (they aren't; they're just combined automaton moves with extra pizzazz). They're difficult because of the arena.

A strangely-shaped, narrow hourglass room, you'll need to study the table above if you want to ensure that his wide-reaching moves in such a confined space don't take much-needed health fro💯m your run.

Attack	Wind-Up Tells And Attack Description	Suggested Counters
Automated Vacuum	Talos creates a vacuum cone directly in front of him. While in this cone, Melinoe is pulled closer to Talos. It deals no damage but often is used to set-up into other attacks as a combo-opener. The cone moves to face the same direction Talos is facing.	Sprint out of the cone's reach and continue moving out of range until it ends.
Charged Uppercut	Taking on a white flash, Talos raises his right arm into the air as he shakes. After a long windup, he releases a devastating uppercut with his left arm. Chains from Automated Vacuum.	Keep space from Talos, using ranged attacks until the charged uppercut has completed. Dash-strike in for close-ranged combat after if using a close-range build.
Bomb Charge	Pulling both arms back, Talos leans forward and begins to drop fire bombs under and behind him. The bombs dropping are indicated by a red sigil on the ground that has a delayed explosion. Talos will follow the player for several seconds, curving to track their movements. The Fire Bombs do not directly fall behind him, rather staggering to the sides to better spread the explosions. They leave lingering flames for several seconds after the attack completes.	Drop a Cast on the ground to slow Talos's movements and follow with ranged attacks where possible.
Double Disc Throw	With both shields on his arms spinning, he raises his arms and thrusts them forward. This releases two spinning, yellow discs that bounce around the room up to twice before returning to Talos.	As the discs are released from Talos's arms, ensure you're standing directly in front of him (in the middle of the discs' paths). Stay in melee, dodging only when necessary during the extent of the animation.
Solo Disc Throw	Raising and pulling his left arm back as his shield begins to spin, Talos releases his shield as a spinning disc projectile in a quick shot. It returns straight to Talos after being thrown.	Dodge forward through the disc throw and begin to attack. Stay on the far side of Talos to avoid the disc's return.
Spin Cycle	Both shields spin and rise into the air to overlap one another directly above Talos's head. After, Talos will begin to spin wildly, tracking the player for several seconds.	Begin sprinting and leave a Cast to hold Talos back and away from you. Do not attack until there is sufficient distance or until he has completed his attack.

How To Beat Talos

Talos shares a lot in common with the other automatons on Mount Olympus. The dangerous creations are enough to be wary of on their own, but Talos takes all of their abilities for itself and has a few more things to add as well.

1. His spin attack can cover up to 20 percent of the arena at any time, and it's difficult to avoid if it surprises you.
2. He doesn't shoot lasers, but he does shoot discs that bounce off of walls.
3. While other automatons zone by closing down and firing circling projectiles, Talos zones by dropping firebombs that leave short-lasting fires.

While you shouldn't be making any preparations specifically for a miniboss, there are a few boons that show increased effectiveness against Talos:

Boons from Hermes are also always appreciated. The extra chance to dodge, increased speed, and ignored instances of damage are all very effective for Talos 💮in what is meant to be a short, but potentially dangerous fight.

As you can tell from above, Casts are extremely effective against Talᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚos. The reason Casts work so well is because of the small area, meaning Talos is very likely to be stuck in a Cast.4

Additionally, it serves you as the most dangerous aspect about Talos is his spin attack. His spin can easily block o🅠ut a fifth of the map, and it tracks Melinoe quickly.

If you are hit by his spin attack, you can take several instances of punishing damage. Trapped in a Cast during this attack, Talos becomes f💮ar less of a threat.

The advice to trap Talos in a Cast goes double, if not triple, when fighting Talos with the Vow of Shadows active. With two of these dangers on the field, the need for keeping them zoned is very high.

Generally, we recommend trying to keep them together at all times. When separated, they pose a huge threat as their spin attack can reduce your field of play by extraordinary percentagesꦏ (up to 70 percent of the arena). Damage will, at tim🔥es, become impossible to avoid.

The best part about this fight is that it is meant to be short. With a lower health than you'd expect ಞfor a miniboss, you'll likely 🃏chunk through him quickly.

However, this also means he can do the same. To avoid being the reason the fight ends quicker than you'd scheduled, focus on these key openings:

• Double Disc Throw - Staying in the middle of his throw will leave him completely open during this attack as he cannot move or make another attack until his discs return. Just watch out for the rebounds.
• Single Disc Throw - By simply dodging through the disc and side-stepping behind him, you'll have the entire length of the animation to punish Talos for his folly.

With your openings secure and a good handle on his moves, your only other concern is his fire zoning. Thankfully, you can control where his fire spreads fairly easi🐽ly.

Remember to use your Cast to limit his speed and spread area, and keep to one side of the room to prevent the fire from spreading into the open.

If you have Hestia's Legendary ability (which is also useful for Prometheus's fight), you won't n🥂eed to worry about this zoning as much. In fact, it becomes almost n♉egligible if you don't have Apollo's No-Damage boon or Artemis's White Antler keepsake.

Now that you have everything accounted for, go forth and 🥂put that bag of bolts where he belongs.

When he's packed up and ready for shipping back to Hephaestus, claim your prize and mentally prepare yourself for the real boss to come: Prometheus.
