With so many dungeons to explore, Dungeons of Hinterberg has many challenges and obstacles to overcome. While most dungeons focus on the puzzle aspect, there are a handful of boss dungeons that prioritize combat and strategy to emerge victorious. These dungeons aren't immediately available, but as you prove to be a capable slayer, they will unlock.
One such boss dungeon is the Basilik's Roost, where you'll face off against a fearsome flying monster. This beast pulls out all the stops and will keep you on your toes. We'll help you handle the monster and become the best slayer in Hinterberg!
How To Unlock The Basilik's Roost Dungeon
The Basilisk's Roost is a difficult dungeon to complete, and it can't be unlocked until you've completed three other dungeons in Kolmstein. Below are the other dungeons in the region:
- Glacial Galaxy Dungeon
- Snowflake Slalom Dungeon
- Icicle Trail
- Snowy Summit
Since the Icicle Trail requires either sponsorship or a high Renown social stat , you don't need to complete it to unlock the boss.
Once you unlock the dungeon, make your way to the chair lifts and head through the cave past the Snowy Summit dungeon. Take the bridge across the chasm and scale the mountain to reach the peak and face the Basilisk.
Basilisk Boss Strategy
The Basilisk is a challenging foe, as you'll fight them in three rounds both up and on the hoverboard rails. This monster will also throw obstacles at you and do everything it can to crush you.
Below are the three different stages with the best tips for getting through the rough ride and fighting the massive beast.
The First Flight
The moment you hop on the rails, the Basilisk will appear. It will follow you along the hoverboard rails and attempt to stop you in your tracks. When the monster opens its mouth, get ready to use your ray beam.
Squash the eyes with your magic as they appear. The Basilisk will continue to spawn more of them as you advance, so try to keep up and strike them as they appear.
Thankfully, your magic is unlimited while riding the hoverboard rails in this dungeon!
Once you hop off the rail, you'll get up and personal with the beast. Fire at its glowing yellow eyes with your ray beam to bring it down quickly and unleash your most powerful Attack Conduits to deal devastating damage.
After you've gotten a good chunk of its health down, the Basilisk will take off. Get back on the hoverboard rail to continue.
Flying The Coop
The second wave is where the Basilisk gets serious. Recognizing you as a proper threat, the monster now obstructs your path with the goo-covered snowflakes as well as throwing eyes at you.
There will also be targets that require a steady charge of magic to destroy before they explode.
You'll need to balance using your ray beam to destroy both without taking too much damage. You need only hold out until the rail ends, at which point you engage in melee combat again. The Basilisk will take off when only a third of its health remains. Chase after it!
The Final Roost
This is the final stretch, and the Basilisk isn't taking chances anymore. Now, it will throw massive eggs in your path. You'll need to cut through them like the icicles littering Kolmstein to get past.
During this stage, it's best to keep your ray beam active the entire time.
Fire at the eyes, the goo-covered snowflakes, the explosive triangles, and the eggs while you catch up to the monster. It can be overwhelming at times, but stay focused and keep a steady hand to remove all obstacles.
Once you reach the roost, don't relent! You only need to whittle down the last section of the Basilisk's health to defeat the dungeon and obtain your prize. After the monster finally falls, head up the ramp behind it to claim your rewards and collect your stamp.
