Guild Wars 2

Don’t know if this has been posted anywhere before but here’s a little guide on how to easily beat the toadboss. All you need is some awareness and good reflexes.

Attacks ;

1) He’ll punch the ground left, right or in the middle and make waves of swamp water rise to hit you.

2) He’ll use his tongue to swipe the whole entire area.

How to avoid these attacks ;

1) He’ll look left if he’s going to hit the left side of the area, and will look right if he’s going to hit the right side. If he looks left, make your way as quickly as possible to the right lilly pad, and vice versa.

2) If he’s looking down, that means he’s going to hit the middle. To avoid this one, simply back up and jump on the leafs and make a circle going all the way back to the lillypads. Make sure you do a big enough cirlce so the waves won’t hit you, the middle attack will send 2 waves out, while the left or right side attacks only send 1 wave.

3) If he’s opened his mouth, and you missed your oppertunity to throw in a shard, he will make a tongue swipe. To avoid this attack simply stand on one end of the lillypad and wait for him to start his tongue swipe attack, then roll INTO his tongue to avoid it ( stand on the left side of the middle lillypad, and roll to the right side into his tongue when he’s swiping the area ). He’ll always go from the right to the left side with this attack.

How to actually beat him ? ;

1) Keep hitting his crystal pendant. It’ll drop shards eventually which you can pick up. NOTE !!! : You CAN hit the pendant during his “open mouth” phase however it will never drop a shard piece ! Don’t waste your time hitting it, but set yourself up to avoid his attack. You can only drop a shard piece during his left/right and middle wave attacks, the best way is to hit the pendant a couple times before dodging his attacks.

2) When he’s looking both to the left and right ( as if he’s about to cross the road ) then he’ll open his mouth. Be ready to press your 1 skill to throw the shard into his mouth. He’ll get knocked down and this is your chance ! Hit him with everything you got !

Tip : Bombs do alot of damage against him in this phase. If you got some spare ones be sure to save them for this boss !
