Nameless Maiden before fight

The Nameless Maiden is the fourth boss of the game.

She is found inside Goldvine Park, at the end of the Sunglade section of the main quest. The player must confront the Nameless Maiden as part of the Quest: "Goldvine Park."

Once the player crosses the bridge into Goldvine Park, the fight will begin. This boss has 3 phases so get ready for a long fight!

The Nameless Maiden drops the Elder Key on death.

After some back and forth, you convinced your new friend Ashley to help clear the overgrown vines blocking the entrance to Goldvine Park. Nothing can ever be easy, can it? As you crossed the narrow bridge leading into the park, you saw her. A towering woman of thorns. You ready your weapon as the vines reseal your only exit. She doesn't look happy to see you...

## Arena

The boss arena is split between two halves: The lower half, where the player starts, and the upper half, where the Maiden is. Between the two is a narrow gap that the player cannot cross on their own.

The Nameless Maiden stays in the same position on the upper half of the arena through the entire fight. She makes up for this lack of mobility with a large variety of different attacks she can use.

## Phase 1

For the first 2 phases of this fight, the Maiden's body is defended by a ring of small vines, preventing any attacks from damaging her directly. The player will need to wear down her defenses before she can be defeated.

The boss has 3 attacks during this phase:

* **Root**:
Roughly every 10 seconds a thin green root will push up from the ground underneath the player. These roots come up slowly and are easy to dodge, however, a root can hit the player multiple times in a row, dealing between 12-15 damage per hit. Roots also act as obstacles preventing players from walking through them. Roots will stay up for about 2 second before pulling back into the ground. In multiplayer 1 root will spawn underneath each player every time this attack happens.
* **Vine**:
Whenever a player gets close, The two large thorn covered vines in front of the Nameless Maiden will slam the ground attempting to crush the player. These vines deal between 15-30 damage. After a vine attacks it will lay on the ground for about 1 second before sitting back up. While on the ground the vines are vulnerable to attack.
* **Bomb**:
As soon as the fight starts a pulsing red spot will appear on the ground and will follow the player as they move around the arena. Every 5 seconds, this spot will stop moving, and the little bush creature standing beside the Maiden will throw a bomb at the red spot. These bombs deal between 20-30 damage to players, and about 80-100 damage to the Maiden's vines.

The goal of the first phase is to disable the Maiden's large vines.

The player is able to attack and damage the vines normally with their weapons and Skills, but the damage the player deals to them is almost nothing.

At the end of phase 1, the Nameless Maiden will only have lost a sliver of her health bar.

## Phase 2

The boss only has 1 attack this phase, but it will keep you just as busy as phase 1.

The little bush creature that was throwing bombs at you is now a spinning top of death. It's movement speed is the same as the player's sprinting speed. It can deal 15-30 damage per hit, and it can hit multiple times in a row, potentially stun-locking the player. After about 10 seconds of spinning it will slow down and stop, entering a stunned animation for about 5 seconds. This is your chance to damage it.

* **Block** You can just block almost the whole duration it is spinning, then once it's stunned, you're already close and able to damage it right away. Do that 3-4 times and its onto the next phase. This will only work if you have put points into the skill Shield Mastery, however.
* **Kite** Draw the spinner's attention around the vines like a merry go round (this is best for **ranged players**). Keep it as far away as possible and try to mirror his position on the other side of the vines that way it will never catch up to you.
* **Alice**  As Alice you can use the level 6 Rogue Skill "Flash of Speed" to distract the enemy, making kiting it a breeze.

By the end of phase 2, the Nameless Maiden will be at **half health**.

## Phase 3 (FINAL PHASE)

The Nameless Maiden can now be attacked directly.

She has 3 new attacks this phase.

* **Melee Attack**:
If a player moves into melee range of the maiden, she will use her claws to attack any players standing directly in front of her. This attack deals between 20-40 damage, but is fairly easy to block with a Shield, or Dash away from. The Maiden takes about 4 seconds between melee attacks.
* **Thorns**:
Her second attack is similar to her root attack from Phase 1. She will summon a line of sharp thorns that shoot up from the ground. The line of thorns starts from the Maiden and ends in the position where the target player was when this attack started. This attack moves fairly slowly making it easy to avoid this attack simply by sprinting or Dashing away. However, this attack can deal between 50-70 damage.
* **Cactus Bombs**:
Her third attack in this phase is to spawn several cacti all around the boss arena that will explode after about 5 seconds, dealing around 50-80 damage (even if blocking). Multiple cactus bombs can hit the same player, usually killing them in only 2 hits. This attack also spawns a yellow dome in the lower part of the arena. Players standing inside this dome are immune to the cactus bombs.

* For **melee players** it is a bit harder, you need to get in range to hit her and block her melee attack, but also save stamina to sprint and dash to the yellow dome when she uses cactus bombs.

Other than the cactus bombs this is actually the easiest phase.

## Tips

* During all phases of this boss fight, having a Cloud on hand can make avoiding damage much easier, As Clouds boost movement speed, and make it so sprinting does not require stamina. Players will benefit the most from a Cloud during phases 2 and 3.
