Loong Claw Grove

The Red Loong赤髯龙

Hidden

Defeated

What it inflicts: Shock
Phases: 1 phase
Equipment: One set

Recommended gear

Coming back later: everything you can get in Chapter 2 without beating it.

Editor's pick Coming back later in Chapter 2: Azure Dust makes you immune to Shock for as long as the transformation lasts, and the Cloud-Patterned Stone Staff (60 Attack) beats the Wind Bear Staff. The Bronze Monkey set stays at the heart of the plan; the Galeguard Beastmaw Armor (+4 Shock Resistance) can replace its chest piece, at the cost of the 4-piece bonus.

Weapon attack: 60
Armor defense: 74
Resistance: Burn: +7

The fight

A single phase. He regularly falls to the ground, back exposed.

One set: Shock is there from start to finish.

Spells, transformation and soaks are set at a Keeper's Shrine, never mid-fight: what you bring into a fight stays until the end. Nothing reliable confirms that armor can be swapped mid-fight: a page only offers a per-phase variant when a shrine or a checkpoint separates the phases.

What it inflicts

Shock: every attack inflicts it.

Attacks to watch

Leap over you: heavy damage, and you get staggered.
Fast critical claw and tail strikes.
Explosion when he gets back up, and a lightning storm sweeping the floor.

What works

Weak spot: the pots on his back; hit them while he is down, Pillar Stance helps. Pillar Stance
Immobilize right after a knockdown. Immobilize
Shock-Quelling Powder: removes Shock and briefly raises Shock Resistance. Shock-Quelling Powder
Wandering Wight spirit. Wandering Wight

Strategy

Knock him down, then hammer the pots on his back.
Keep your distance and punish after his combos; back off when he gets up.
Use the gaps in the floor lightning.
An easier fight if you come back later in the game.

Access

Loong Claw Grove, behind a waterfall: from the Outside the Forest shrine, take the left path to the waterfall in the corner. With the Loong Scales in your inventory, interact with it to get in. Optional and hidden.

What it gives

Will: 1,382

Updates

No published update changes this boss; the loong fixes in update 1.0.13 target the Yellow Loong.

In NG+

In NG+, you keep all your gear, spells and spirits, and bosses have more health and hit harder. The new moves announced by the developers are in Challenge mode (Gauntlet of Legends), outside the scope of these pages.
