Lost Ark is a brand-new MMORPG that lets you journey to many different Islands and continents. The game has you managing your virtues alongside your gear and weapons. Also, the game features multiple classes in Lost Ark to suit every player’s playstyle. There is a lot to do in this content-packed MMORPG. World bosses are some of the most challenging and rewarding things you can fight in Lost Ark, and Proxima is one of them.
- Proxima is a world boss located in the Vernese Forest region of North Vern.
- The boss fight has two phases: the first phase is the normal attack phase, and the second phase is the shield phase.
- During the shield phase, Proxima will heal itself by 1% of its health every few seconds. It is best to save your hard-hitting attacks for this phase.
- The boss is weak to fire damage, so bring fire-based skills or attacks if possible.
- The boss is also vulnerable to stagger, so try to stagger it as much as possible to prevent it from using its powerful attacks.
- The boss drops various rewards, including gold, silver, items, and accessories.
What are World Or Field Bosses in Lost Ark?
World bosses are officially known as field bosses in Lost Ark. They are powerful enemies you will encounter while roaming the vast open world of Lost Ark. These are not restricted to the game’s many dungeons or main quests.
You will encounter each field boss in a specific location, and alongside giving you rewards, they all contribute to the progress of your Adventurer’s Tome.
These bosses have a massive health pool because they have a health multiplier of x23, which means that they will have 23 health bars, and you will have to reduce all of them to zero to defeat the boss.
Furthermore, high-level field bosses also have a recommended item level. And if the player’s item level is below the recommended one, they have a lesser chance of hitting the field boss. The worst part is that the player might not even get a reward for participating.
Who is Proxima in Lost Ark?
As mentioned earlier, Proxima is a world boss in Lost Ark. Some people have trouble tracking down and defeating Proxima. Like almost all other world bosses in Lost Ark, good teamwork is vital for defeating Proxima because of his extremely high HP and damage.
Proxima will test your skills in battle and the mastery of your class, so it is recommended to go into the fight with a class that you are very proficient with. Furthermore, defeating Proxima also has a chance to drop the Proxima Course Metal as a reward. Our guide will let you know all you need to know about finding and defeating Proxima.
