How to beat Thorne

3 phases. Watch the tell, burrow the wind-up, punish the recovery.

1

Phase 1 — Trident Strikes

Pattern
The first major boss (Ossex Courtyard). Wields a trident with a swift blow chaining into a tracking three-hit combo, and lays a trail of bombs that explode after a short delay.
Tell
Quick trident wind-up; the three-hit combo follows your movement; bombs drop as he moves.
Counter
Never let him corner you. Keep to the arena edges to escape the delayed bombs. Attack in short bursts so you can disengage.
2

Phase 2 — Tornado Burst

Pattern
Summons a large burst of tornadoes that expand outward around the arena in a ring.
Tell
He stops to summon the swirling ring.
Counter
Use Hollowing — burrow underground to escape as the tornadoes expand.
3

Phase 3 — Escalated Dash + Tornadoes

Pattern
His dash gets longer and lasts longer; three longer hops, then tornadoes again — the earlier patterns at higher intensity.
Tell
The dash path visibly extends; three hops precede the tornado summon.
Counter
Track the longer dash and reposition early, then burrow the follow-up tornadoes. Keep attacks short, keep distance.

Quick tips

  • ·Use the Mace to deal damage from a safer distance.
  • ·Heal only once mid-fight, far from Thorne — his damage cancels healing.
  • ·Attack in small bursts so you always keep an escape window.
  • ·Burrowing (Hollowing) is the key to surviving both tornado phases.
