Objectives
- 1The Whereabouts of the New Lord
- 2The Lord Who Hid in the Manor
Walkthrough
- 1Travel to the Hexe Sanctuary in Demeniss where Hexe Marie awaits
- 2Approach the boss to trigger the first phase of combat
- 3Dodge the crows she fires at you by moving sideways instead of retreating
- 4When she pauses, dodge her initial attack to position behind her
- 5Land 4 heavy attacks followed by light attacks during openings
- 6Eliminate any summoned minions with single hits before they crowd you
- 7Expect teleportation — be patient and wait for the next attack window
- 8Continue aggressive combat through Phase 1 until her first health bar depletes
- 9Enter Phase 2 where minion summoning becomes frequent and relentless
- 10Maintain the same aggressive strategy — eliminate minions and attack Hexe Marie
- 11Defeat Hexe Marie completely to finish the quest and restore balance
Tips
- Tank strategy is more effective than excessive dodging — heal while attacking instead of constantly defending
- Crows travel in straight lines — dodge sideways rather than away to maintain offensive positioning
- Phase 1 is less aggressive; Phase 2 spawns minions relentlessly — adapt by clearing them quickly
- Minions die in single hits — don't waste time on them; clear and refocus on Hexe Marie
- Expect frequent teleportation; maintain patience and watch for opening patterns
- 4 heavy attacks + light combos per opening window maximizes damage and minimizes her repositioning
- Healing on-the-fly is crucial — don't wait for critical health to use potions
NPCs Involved
- Hexe Marie
