The Voidwastes dungeon in Throne and Liberty has a main boss and two minibosses. The main boss Shakarux is a massive scorpion-like monster that can easily wipe your team if you don’t know how to deal with it. Meanwhile, the minibosses, Blatras, and Belkros may not be as terrifying or lethal as Shakarux but are quite challenging to kill.

In this guide, we have shared everything you need to know about defeating Shakarux and the other mini-bosses in the Voidwastes dungeon in Throne and Liberty.

Shakarux’s arena has three purple-beam-emitting columns that stack a deadly debuff when they hit players or the boss. If Shakarux reaches 30 stacks, it causes a party wipe, and if any player hits 30 stacks, they die. To counter this, divide the party into three teams of two, with each team managing one column. Players must alternate intercepting the beams to prevent the stacks from building up on either Shakarux or themselves.

Throughout the fight, Shakarux will spawn purple circles beneath random players. These circles deal significant damage, so players must spread out and avoid overlapping to mitigate risk. Additionally, the boss also has several deadly attack patterns that players need to deal with.

For Yellow Haze, dodge using a block skill and directional input when the diamond icon telegraphs this attack. Meanwhile, during Yellow Breath, the three purple columns stop emitting beams, and the arena fills with glowing floor sections. Shakarux then targets one player with a golden marker, and that player must align the breath attack to hit all three glowing columns by running clockwise or counterclockwise. Yellow Zones require players to immediately vacate the marked circular areas, as standing in them results in heavy damage.

Moving on, Red Sinkhole marks two players with red orbs, reducing their movement and creating damaging sinkholes where the marks vanish. So, marked players should move away from the group until the effect ends.

At 50% and 30% HP, Shakarux summons Yellow Eyes, who use unavoidable damage. Healers should preemptively cast Blessed Barrier with Targets Expanded, and tanks can use DaVinci’s Courage to mitigate damage during this phase. Use all of these strategies to effectively defeat the boss.

How to beat Miniboss Blatras in the Voidwastes dungeon in Throne and Liberty

Blatras primarily uses AoE attacks that are easy to dodge. However, at 50% HP, the miniboss will start using a gimmick. It pulls all players to the center and disappears, leaving the arena covered in glowing floor tiles. To survive, players must navigate out of the circular arena without stepping on the glowing tiles, as doing so stuns them and guarantees death from Blatras’ follow-up attack.

Once the attack ends, Blatras reappears in the center of the arena, and the battle resumes as normal. Keep these mechanics in mind and keep dodging its attacks to kill it.

How to beat miniboss Belkros in the Voidwastes dungeon in Throne and Liberty

Belkros is a balanced boss with melee and ranged attacks that are manageable if you have a good tank. The boss also has a few Fury attacks, but their timing is forgiving and can be blocked easily. Like Blatras, Belkros has a unique gimmick triggered at 50% HP.

When Belkros’ health drops to 50%, the boss pulls all players to the center of the arena, trapping them inside a square surrounded by glowing floor tiles. To escape, players must interact with glowing orbs inside the square to remove the tiles and open up a path. Once the first orb is activated, players can interact with a second orb outside the square to get out.

Apart from this attack, this boss doesn’t have a lot of unique moves, so keep dodging and hitting it until it falls.
