How to Beat the Slider and Sun Spirit with Magic
This mod lets you damage two iconic Aether bosses, the Slider and the Sun Spirit, with spells instead of relying only on weapons. Each boss has a spell built to handle it.
Fighting the Slider with Stonebreaker Shard
1. Before entering the dungeon, put Stonebreaker Shard on your spellbook.
2. Stonebreaker Shard launches holy rocks that deal magic damage to the Slider. This gives you a reliable way to hurt it from range.
3. The shards also slow foes, so keep casting to slow the Slider's charges. Use that extra time to reposition.
4. Keep your distance between casts. The spell is a projectile, so you don't need to stand in the Slider's path.
Fighting the Sun Spirit with Frostbound Crystal
1. Add Frostbound Crystal before the fight. It hurls ice projectiles that can freeze the Sun Spirit.
2. Open with Frostbound Crystal to try to lock the boss in place.
3. While the Sun Spirit is frozen, follow up with your hardest-hitting spells. Radiant Javelin works well because it pierces and calls down a pillar of holy light.
4. If you also wear Phoenix Mage Armor, its lava immunity and cheat-death blast give you a safety net in this fiery fight.
General Tips
- A boss spellbook can hold up to twelve spells, so you can carry both boss spells plus your usual damage and utility spells.
- Bring a spellblade or staff as a backup in case you need to recover mana mid-fight.
