How to Counter Fire-Themed Mobs in Combat

Fire-themed enemies found in structures like the Emberbound Cathedral employ aggressive movement, projectile reflection, and rhythm-based shockwaves.

Breaking Effigy Stances and Dodging Rollers

• Ember Effigy: When an Ember Effigy enters its sturdy defensive stance, it absorbs incoming hits and reflects player projectiles back at you. Do not shoot arrows or throw projectiles at it during this stance. Instead, close the distance and strike it with heavy attacks to shatter its guard.
• Iron Roller: The Iron Roller leaps into the air every four seconds to emit an expanding fire shockwave across the floor. Track the four-second cadence and jump over the shockwave to avoid taking damage.

Evading Flame Imps and Fire Gargoyles

• Flame Imp: Flame Imps sprint rapidly around the combat space, laying down burning trails of fire. Keep moving laterally and avoid walking into the flaming paths left in their wake.
• Fire Gargoyle: Fire Gargoyles shift between flight patterns and ground moves. Watch for their visual telegraphs to evade straight-line magma beams and move away from targeted areas to avoid incoming meteor rains.
