Severian is a level 31 B-rank hunt located at the north of Sorrowise in Rosaria.

Before approaching it, make sure to spend your skill points! There are no refund fees, so go in with everything you’ve got.

Tips to beat Severian

  • Check out our for “Eradicate”: Exterminating is one of Severian’s deadliest moves and will deal you a lot of damage if you get caught in the spinning blades. As soon as you see Eradicate appear on your screen, drop back and prepare to dodge the impending strikeout.
  • Severian’s sword is deceptively long: It’s a good idea to keep some distance between you and Severian, as their beam sword is longer than you think. They also have a lot of attacks where they quickly close the gap between the two of you, so as soon as that sword comes out, get ready to dodge.
  • The AOE consists of two parts: One of Severian’s unnamed attacks will create a light blue circle around it, indicating that an attack will occur within that circle. However, an even bigger circle will appear right after, so run far away to dodge both attacks!
