Located in the heart of Grelwood, the Brambleghast is the first major enemy you will face inPath of Exile II. Obviously, it won’t be near the level of a significant story boss, but it can still cause a bit of trouble if you’re not prepared.

Path of Exile 2 Stuns in Early Access Release

Our hands-on preview of Path of Exile 2 was a brief glimpse into gaming’s next great RPG.

Preparation

There’s no one class that you need to beat the Brambleghast, as all classes are fairly balanced – even if a minion build is not as powerful as it should be against bigger enemies such as this – although being a sorceress helps. It’s also a positive if you’re playing cooperatively, swapping between aggro to ensure you aren’t caught up in some of its bigger attacks.

Outside of that, just verify you have a filled flask of Health Potion and if you’re a caster, Magic flask will come in handy.

Boss Skill Set

The main goal is bursting down the boss as fast as you can. The problem is just how small the arena is and how large Brambleghast’s attacks are. As soon as he puts his hands in the ground, you need either move away from the front or look and avoid the giant hammers that are about to come down as they will do the most damage.

The boss mostly does chip damage, so if you can, maintain a distance and avoid most of the smaller attacks. Otherwise, the adds shouldn’t give you much of an issue and even the smaller tracking attacks can be easily tanked.
