How to beat Chaotic Chuo in Lost Ark
As the creature’s description says, the Chaotic Chuo is simply the demonic iteration of the age-old guardian after it was consumed by the dark energy it sought to protect Arkesia from. Hiding itself away from the world in order to protect it, the Field Boss incorporates the abilities of the original Chuo but with an ominous twist.
Below are the abilities for the Chaotic Chuo, and how to counter them:
Attack | What it does | Counter |
Portal AoE | The Chuo will rear up and create purple portals on the ground, which explode when he returns to all fours | When the Chuo rears up, avoid the circular AoE markers on the ground to avoid taking massive damage |
Slam | The Chuo will jump, dropping down whilst dealing moderate damage and pushing players away | When the Chuo jumps, get out of the slam radius |
Energy Balls | The Chuo charges up, throwing out six energy balls that deal moderate damage | Either try to stagger the boss as it charges, or simply avoid the energy balls |
Energy Blast | The Chuo charges up, dealing three separate AoE attacks in three progressive rings. If you are caught in a ring, you will be pushed into the next one, dealing constant damage | Either try to stagger the boss as it charges, or move out of the radius of the attack |
Spikes | The Chuo jumps off of the battlefield, then pushes spikes up from the ground, instantly killing anyone close to him | As soon as you see the Chuo jump out of vision, move as far away from him as you can |
Breath | The Chuo creates a conical area in front of him, breathing an energy blast at players | Move out of the conical area |
Charge | A straight line will appear in front of the Chuo, which it will then charge in line with, doing damage to anything in its way | Avoid the rectangular area and reposition behind the boss to attack it |
