Just how do you fight King Boreas?

[Whiskeyjack]

He's resistant to everything!I quitted the fight as soon as i saw his resistanc
es.I thought an ice creature would be vulnerable to fire based spells but no!He has 120%resistance to it,he has also high resistance to melee attacks so, how the hell do you fight him?Same story with the guardian

There is a door to the left of his room that has an area suitable to fight him at (if you can lure him there) where he can't do his summons and changing terrain shennanigins. Other than that make sure your party has good gear that is current with your level and have lots of ways to heal yourself. It will also be helpful if you have ways to boost your damage to counteract his reisistances. You are basically going to have to out tank him. You can also try using spells that lower his resistances, but you might want to use other abilities that lower his grit and willpower defences first before you do that...

If I remember right I just beat the snot out of him with a Crossbow, 1h and shield Madora and four summons while my two mages kept everyone alive.

Did the same with the guardian, freaking 20 minute fight...

If you destroy the four statues in his chamber his resistances drop accordingly. For exampla: destroy the fire statue and his fire resistance drops so you can use fire spells on him. Search for Boreas on here and there is a thread with several ways others have killed him.

If you have Bairdotr in your party she can use the Shambling Oak Death Wand that drops when you kill the group with the pet shambler to one shot the Guardian. Equip the wand and a skill/spell is placed in your hotbar. Click on the skill/spell in the hotbar to end his life.

I killed him.I lured him in a corner of the room,i destroyed one of the statues,attacked him in air and melee and it worked.Still trying to figure out the guardian though

King Boreas has no resistance to poison damage nor is he immune. I bested him with Magical Poison Dart on my Geomancer. Hell, even his own poison mists that he summons when he charges to earth state does damage to him.

Managed to kill the guardian.It was a work of patience,not too difficult but long

Not working with shambling removal, can't even target him nor the spawns. The statue too you can't destroy it, as soon as you attack one he can aggro even though youre on stealth. Don't follow this

You are doing quite the necro there my man.

Fight is quite easy if you follow some basic engage tactics and tricks.

Unchain your party and leave them behind the door. Spawn Jake or someone similar in middle of the room to trigger boss and die from first super strong fire aoe.

Retreat character that summoned back to the door , wait for npc's to come to you one by one , waste them.
Engage boss with main tank, move everyone else to those resistance totems , preferably rangers/casters and deactivate them(shoot them/hit them/cast spells). Keep them there and deactivate again on second phase.

Fight was super easy
