Where to Find Baal
When the main quest Recalling the Past is completed, you encounter Baal for the first time. However, before we dive into the details of the fight, it’s important to remember that it’s a time-limited quest. The quest requires that you protect your NPCs and defeat all monsters in your path in a timely manner.
Baal’s Attack Patterns
Taking a closer look at Baal’s attack pattern, we’ll discover that his sweep attack is both a melee and ranged attack. He winds up 2-3 times before becoming vulnerable to direct attacks. It is possible to tank the sweep while simultaneously attacking at the same rate if you have a high HP and vitality level.
A blue flame attack is one of Baal’s flame-based attacks. The blue flames will follow you for a while before disappearing. Keep some distance from Baal as well as avoid the blue flames, as they will leave you vulnerable.
Unlike the homing blue flame attack, multi-directional flames will not require you to dodge as much. You only need to position yourself in a safe spot and attack from a distance, since Baal is vulnerable while performing this attack. The flames will go in six directions, so you do not need to dodge them as much.
The second phase of your battle with Baal will include him splitting himself into two shadow clones. Both clones will display the same attack range but are still manageable as your NPC companions will deal damage to the other one while you take care of the one. The meteor shower attack of Baal is another one to watch out for.
Fireballs will land along six red circles on the field, allowing you to dodge and time your attacks accordingly. Baal will wind up, and on the field are three red circles grouped into three different ranges.
You should avoid Baal’s shockwave attack altogether as it has a wide range and will temporarily stun you if it hits you. It’s best to stay on the move when he strikes you, so stay aware of his movements.
Secrets to Defeating Baal
If you’d like to increase your chances of succeeding, we suggest forming a party before beginning this quest. This fight can be draining, so having a backup can be a great help. When facing Baal, it’s important to strike at the right time.
As Baal prepares for his next cycle of attacks, you have a big window of opportunity to launch your attacks. Effectively, you can drag this fight until your NPC companions kill off all the mobs so that you can then deal direct damage to him.
Throughout both phases of the fight, the NPCs accompanying you will tell you repeatedly that you should finish off Baal while they take care of the monsters that spawn. By evading the mobs, you can deal much more damage directly to the boss.
In addition, if you get in trouble, you can retreat behind Tal Rasha’s barrier for protection. It is possible to dodge Baal’s flame attacks, but they can be devastating if you get hit. You can prevent unnecessary damage by running to Tal Rasha’s barrier whenever Baal is attacking you with flames.
