In Last Epoch’s main campaign, numerous bosses await players, but none are as formidable as Majasa. This Gorgon deity poses a significant challenge for nearly every Last Epoch player. However, with a well-thought-out strategy and a grasp of the battle mechanics, success is within reach.
Here’s the most effective method we’ve discovered for learning (and mastering) the Majasa fight in Last Epoch, ultimately leading to her defeat.
How to defeat Majasa
For any first-time Last Epoch player, confronting Majasa will prove challenging. As the final boss in the Last Epoch main campaign, Majasa’s formidable presence demands a well-prepared strategy for victory.
Prior to engaging in this encounter, ensure you have ample physical resistance, as this stat is crucial. While your standard build may suffice initially, the encounter’s second phase will rigorously test your physical defense.
What to watch for in the Majasa Last Epoch fight
The Majasa fight consists of two distinct phases, each presenting unique challenges. Only one ability carries over between the phases: the stone vision attack. Beyond this, the phases differ significantly, with the difficulty escalating notably.
Here’s a breakdown of each phase:
Majasa Phase One
The initial phase sees Majasa in a larger, albeit slower form. In this phase, she can unleash attacks from a distance, summon elemental totems, and employ her signature stone vision attack. Here’s what to expect:
- Stone vision (cone-shaped blast)
- Falling meteors
- Dark pool/blade swipe
- Totem summon
These are Majasa’s most potent attacks. Additionally, she can create venom pools, but these pose minimal threat and are easily avoided.
Totem summoning occurs when Majasa’s health drops to 66% and 33%. Three totems representing lightning, fire, and earth are summoned, unleashing elemental attacks and cluttering the battlefield.
Majasa Phase Two
In the second phase, Majasa reduces her reliance on ranged attacks, focusing instead on devastating close-range abilities. While challenging to evade, these attacks typically miss when at a distance.
Key abilities to watch for include:
- Stone vision (cone-shaped blast)
- Blood explosion
- Healing
During the battle, Majasa will restore her health to full twice, similar to the Totem summons in phase one. This regeneration cannot be prevented.
Top tips for battling Majasa in Last Epoch
Successfully facing Majasa requires attentive listening for audio cues, which signal impending attacks. Familiarity with these cues significantly eases both phases of the encounter. Let’s explore phase one:
- “Vile insect” = Dark pool/blade slash
- “Be gone” = Meteor crash
- “This is your doom” = Totem summoning
- Hissing = Stone vision
When hearing cues for the dark pool or meteor crash, maintain movement to evade these targeted attacks. While they can be outrun, remain vigilant to avoid being ensnared.
If Totem summoning occurs, prioritize destroying one totem before targeting the others. During this phase, focus on avoiding Majasa’s simpler attacks, as eliminating the totems takes precedence over damaging the boss.
The hissing attack is easily avoidable, with its telegraphed nature providing ample time to escape. For aggressive melee builds, this ability poses minimal threat.
Phase two introduces heightened difficulty, with fewer ability attacks to contend with. Listen for just one new audio cue:
- “Blood, more blood” = Blood explosion
When this audio cue plays, swiftly move away from Majasa, as the surrounding area is about to explode. Aside from this, the stone vision cue remains consistent, making the blood explosion the primary ability to watch for.
For ranged combatants, maintaining distance is crucial in phase two, as Majasa aggressively pursues them. Melee fighters, on the other hand, require substantial physical resistance. With adequate resistance and life steal, melee fighters can withstand basic attacks while dealing damage. Once Majasa’s health has been whittled down through two healing phases, reducing it to zero marks the end of this Last Epoch encounter.
