How to Beat Nimrod
Phase overview
Brewer of Hues finale in Fort Curlail. Use Cloudquell on the final duel to shut down lightning — then press melee with Sollos-I.
~2 phases
Low Priority
Story boss for Oryn Umbr fragment. Repeat farm Discharged Nimrod in overworld after the fable.
Tips
- First two encounters he flees — save burst cooldowns for the Fort Curlail finale
- Cloudquell clears the sky and blocks lightning — mandatory for the final fight
- Dodge fork melee after lightning volleys; Blitzel punishes from range between casts
- Interrupt self-heal channels — do not chase lightning trails across the arena
- Discharged Nimrod overworld variant uses the same kit for Oryn Umbr fragment farms
Recommended pacts
Recommended stats
Cloudquell + Sollos-I melee or Blitzel ranged; Bestone and Phantom Flock for burst.
