How to Beat Rex Chimaerus
Rex Chimaerus Overview
- Type: Demon
- Passive: Dusk Madness (Night: Increases both Damage Dealt and Damage Taken)
Rex Chimaerus is a powerful boss with several deadly mechanics. To successfully defeat him, your team must understand his special abilities and patterns.
Rex Chimaerus Mechanics
The Four Pillars
The arena is surrounded by four (4) pillars chained to a platform in the middle. During the fight, Rex Chimaerus will charge a massive fire attack, triggering the appearance of Air Pitons around the arena. One or more party members must use the Air Pitons to grapple to the center platform and pull a lever to activate the pillars. Once activated, the chains connected to the pillars become interactable. Each party member stationed near a pillar must interact with the chains to prevent Rex Chimaerus from unleashing a devastating AoE attack.
Tactics
- Pre-positioning: Before the fight begins, assign one party member (preferably ranged DPS) to each of the four pillars to ensure a quick reaction once the mechanic starts.
- Lever Activation: When the boss begins to charge his attack, one or two party members should use the Air Pitons to reach the platform and activate the lever.
- Chain Interaction: Once the chains become interactable, each designated party member should quickly interact with their assigned chain to avoid the massive AoE damage.
Rex Chimaerus Attack Patterns
Normal Attacks
Basic claw swipes. These are not very damaging and can be tanked easily.
Acid Puddles
Rex fires acid projectiles from its tail, targeting three of the farthest players and leaving acid puddles. Simply avoid standing in these areas.
Paralyzing Venom
Rex spits venom at a target, paralyzing them after a short delay. The affected player should move away from the group.
Fireballs
After the Paralyzing Venom attack, Rex will shoot three fireballs at the paralyzed player, causing massive damage. Tanks should intercept these fireballs with the support of healers.
AoE Attack
This devastating attack can only be avoided by successfully completing the pillar chain mechanic.
Recommended Weapon Combos
| Weapon Combo | Recommended Role | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Greatsword / Sword and Shield | Tank | Provides strong defense and is vital for soaking damage, especially during Rex Chimaerus’ fireball attack. |
| Longbow / Crossbow | DPS | Ideal for ranged damage, and for players stationed at the pillars for the special mechanic. |
| Staff / Crossbow | DPS | Offers magical ranged damage and allows players to remain positioned at pillars while attacking. |
| Wand / Staff | Support | Excellent for healing the tank and providing consistent support to the group, with some offensive capabilities. |
