Where to find the Iron Viscount

• Location: Beryl District

Travel to the Hydro Archon statue in the indicated area, and then move to the hot spring located a little to the south. To cool it down, you will need to solve a complex puzzle, which we covered in separate guide. Here we present a short version. First open, and then collect in one place the crystals of intelligence of the level of humidity. Activate them with hydro-granums to create a water portal.

Enter this ring to find yourself in a secret underwater cave. Swim forward and get out on land. Solve a small puzzle here with bonfires and hydro grenades, and then activate the Hydro monument to flood the cave. Now swim a little to the west and you will find the boss you need here.

Be sure to light-attack the xenochrome armored crab floating nearby before attacking the boss. The fact is that only with his heavy Noelle: Protector ability will you be able to defeat this monster.

How to kill the Iron Viscount

In combat, this mini-boss can only perform two attacks:

• Spinning Kick – The enemy spins around and charges at the character.
• Fish projectile - the enemy throws a fish at the character.

Both attacks can deal a lot of damage to your hero, so be sure to take the most living fighter. Your regular hits won't do much damage to the viscount, so you'll have to use a special tactic. When you see an enemy preparing to throw a fish at you, press and hold the "E" key. After taking on the projectile, aim at the enemy (you should see a blue circle on his carcass) and release the button to throw his own charge at him.

Thus, you can take away from the crab about 10% of health. When his life bar drops to around 30-40%, he will begin to create a Hurdle. To destroy him, you must continue to throw his shells at him.

Keep throwing bombs at him and sooner or later you will win. If you're low on health, don't forget to swim through schools of orange fish to regenerate life and stamina. Once you kill the boss, you will be able to open the treasure chest and get the achievement.
