Bikke may be a single phase fight, but that doesn’t mean he is a total pushover. The captain hits incredibly hard, which is great motivation tokeep some distance from him, and he also spawns a ton of adds to aid his efforts throughout the battle. The adds are the trickiest mechanic to manage during this fight, but players that stay focused and stick to a single strategy should be able to get through this battle without too much pain.
How to Defeat Bikke
Since this is a single phase fight, that’s pretty much everything players need to know to survive. It may take a few tries to get a feel for the pattern of Bikke’s attacks, but the general mechanics aren’t terribly challenging compared to some of the fights that are still to come.
