Sand sweep |
Mogriff will rise out of the ground before raising one of its claws back. After doing this, the boss will send a wave of sand at you, forming an arc projectile that hits you if you touch any part of it. |
The boss targets where you are now, so watch out when it raises its claw. Then, run diagonally to one side to get out of the projectile range. |

Sand Charge |
After swimming under the sand, Mogriff will create a column of sand before erupting from it. The boss then moves like a drill, charging forward at you for a few seconds before returning underground. |
Run around the boss arena and lure Mogriff’s charge into one of the statues to stun it. |
Countering the sand charge is key to the first two phases, as stunning Mogriff will cause it to expose its belly and legs. Once it is staggered this way, Go into your swordfighter form and attack it Over and over to deal considerable damage. Any statues or structures in the boss arena can cause Mogriph to hurt his head and expose himself, so try to linger around a bigger one to guarantee this situation.
