Tips
- Golden Star has one main health bar — recognize its corner position to predict attacks
- Front left position: rock and fire attacks — keep your distance and use spears
- Back left position: drops orange-marked explosives — move away from the outlines quickly
- Right wall position: its claw is vulnerable while breathing fire — this deals the most damage
- Grab spears from the blue generators consistently for maximum damage output
- Stay mobile throughout the fight — don't get cornered by explosive attacks
- The stun phase after sustained damage is your highest damage window — unleash everything
- This is the most challenging quest in Chapter 11 — take your time learning the patterns
