Anchor Imbue & Barrels

The Lord of the Void Sea's attacks revolve around his Combat-Anchor and emplaced Barrels. The Anchor can be Imbued with eldritch power, modifying the Pirate Lord's direct attacks against you. Many of his abilities can generate Barrels that detonate after a delay when struck by the Anchor or by another exploding Barrel.

No Imbue

The Lord of the Void Sea begins the fight with this. This lack of Imbue causes direct attacks with the anchor to deal mediocre damage with no added special properties.

Barrels struck by the Anchor explode after a short delay, these explosions can initiate a cataclysmic chain reaction.

Rolling Barrels struck by the Anchor begin bouncing, dealing mediocre damage when impacting the ground. Bouncing Barrels' impact causes emplaced Barrels to also begin bouncing. After 2 bounces, the Barrel explodes on it's next impact dealing high damage in a small radius.

No Imbue

Purple Imbue

Purple Imbue

The Lord of the Void Sea can Imbue his Anchor with Purple Energy, massively increasing the lethality of all Anchor and Barrel abilities and causes them to deal Erosion damage. With this Imbue, direct attacks with the Anchor apply a cataclysmic damage over time debuff. Do not get hit.

Barrels struck by the Anchor explode after a short delay, dealing cataclysmic damage in a small radius and leaving behind a Purple Pool. Explosions can initiate a chain reaction, and Purple Pools deal lingering and cataclysmic damage over time when stepped on.

Rolling Barrels struck by the Anchor begin bouncing, dealing high damage when impacting the ground. Bouncing Barrels' impact causes emplaced Barrels to also begin bouncing. After 2 bounces, the Barrel explodes on it's next impact dealing cataclysmic damage in a small radius before leaving a Purple Pool behind.

Red Imbue

The Lord of the Void Sea can Imbue his Anchor with Red Energy, modifying his Anchor and Barrel abilities and causes them to deal Fire damage.

Barrels struck by the Anchor explode after a short delay, these explosions can initiate a cataclysmic chain reaction.

Rolling Barrels struck by the Anchor change course and begin tracking you, turning slowly. They detonate on impact, dealing cataclysmic damage.

Green Imbue

Green Imbue

The Lord of the Void Sea can Imbue his Anchor with Green Energy, modifying his Anchor and Barrel abilities and causes them to deal Erosion damage.

Barrels struck by the Anchor explode after a short delay, dealing poor damage but leaving behind a Green Pool. These explosions can initiate a cataclysmic chain reaction, and Green Pools deal lingering and potent damage over time.

Rolling Barrels struck by the Anchor change course and begin tracking you, turning slowly. They detonate on impact, dealing cataclysmic damage and leaving behind a Green Pool.

Barrels

Throughout the fight, the Lord of the Void Sea spawns Barrels in various formations. These Barrels are harmless until the Pirate Lord tampers with them. When any of his attacks connect with a Barrel, it changes color and explodes after a short delay. Damage dealt is dependent on the current Anchor Imbue.

Once you study and understand the Barrel formations (we highly recommend watching the videos below) it becomes easier to plan a safe path to areas that won't explode. Remember that Brown Barrels are inactive and harmless.

The Barrels can act as a distraction for parts of the fight where mechanics begin to overlap each other. Do your best to predict the patterns and find shelter far away from the cataclysmic chain reactions.

Brown Barrels

Skills Breakdown

The Lord of the Void Sea tosses 5 activated Barrels in rapid succession at your current location. Barrels explode on impact, dealing lethal damage with additional effects based on the current Anchor Imbue. Avoid this ability with perpetual movement, rotate around him or run away.

The Lord of the Void Sea's Mechanics

The Lord of the Void Sea employs many overlapping abilities in an attempt to overwhelm you. Do not get overwhelmed. The Pirate Lord can emplace Barrels that are harmless unless made to explode when primed with another ability, and attacks with his powerful Combat-Anchor. He can also Imbue his Anchor, modifying the mechanics and damage types dealt by his Anchor and Barrel abilities. We recommend having maxed out Erosion, Fire, and Lightning resistances. ALL of the Lord of the Void Sea's abilities deal partial Physical damage, so seek sources of Physical mitigation. In addition to his normal abilities, the Pirate Lord may occasionally leap through the Arena. Fear not, this does no damage.

This fight does not change between the 4 Phases. Instead, a Phase Transition occurs at 75%, 50%, and 25% HP remaining, where the Pirate Lord gains temporary invulnerability and casts one of the following abilities:

  • Cannon Firing Range - escape it by navigating to the top of the Arena, by the tentacle blockade.
  • Barrels: Mass Emplacement - escape the cataclysmic chain reaction by navigating to the top of the Arena, by the tentacle blockade.
  • Cannon Clusters - do not lose focus, concentrate on avoiding the highly telegraphed cannonball projectiles.

Enrage Timer

At 50% HP remaining, the Lord of the Void Sea initiates a Phase transition, and also creates a Cannon Bunker. After this concludes, his enrage timer starts. If still fighting after 9 minutes, The Ghost Sea Bride joins the fight and can use all of the abilities employed within her encounter, except now scaled to deal cataclysmic damage. If this occurs, the fight may as well be over.
