All methods to defeat Imurah in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2

Here is a quick guide that players can follow to beat Imurah in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 without breaking a sweat:

• As soon as the cinematics end and the battle begins, Imurah will float away and try to attack you from multiple directions with energy projectiles. It is best to hide the pillars in the arena as cover. Keep an eye out for any of these projectiles swerving around the covers and shoot them down to protect yourself.
• Dodge and weave through this phase and make sure to land a few shots on the main boss regularly. This will keep poking Imurah and slowly pile up damage to eat away at his massive health pool.
• As you build up more damage on this sorcerer, he will start heading over to the center of the arena. At this time he will summon a few fallen corrupt infantry. While most of the units are easy to deal with, the Marines arrive with heavy-duty flamethrowers and do not shy away from using them.
• You should avoid sticking to close combat for too long as these enemies will quickly group up on you and knock you down. It is best to shoot them down and keep directing some shots on Imurah as well for chip damage.
• After losing quite a bit of health, Imurah starts heading back to the center and charges for a big area-based attack. You can easily spot this as the boss charges up a red energy. This explodes and dissipates around the arena. However, you can simply dodge it by hiding behind any one of the pillars.
• Imurah is quite slippery and tends to teleport from one point to another. This makes it difficult to consistently deal damage so it is best to keep checking where he is at almost all the time. This is because he will try to fly in and deal melee damage whenever possible.
• Prepare to launch counters and parries when he tries to swoop in on you. This can also provide you with a few openings that would eat away at the last sliver of Imurah’s health pool.

It is important to note that you will not be able to eliminate Imurah in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 in this mission. The boss quickly realizes that he is outclassed in the fight and opts to run away to contest another day.

The next time you fight Imurah in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 will be at the end of the campaign missions. The fight will begin with the boss unleashing Phase 2 attacks and abilities. You will need to exercise greater caution in this stage to dodge as many abilities as possible and slaughter all reinforcements.

• Keep an eye out for the greater Daemon summon. This creature should be dealt with as quickly as possible with a combination of ranged and melee attacks. A barrage of explosives can also help in disorienting the enemy forces.
• Make sure to stay alert when Imurah hits you with the Void attack and robs you of your visibility. You will need to survive this ability by adapting to the attack cues of the boss monster.
