Notes:[]

  • The Animated Staff IS NOT IMMUNE to Stun. It is very resistant to the spell Stun, and still resistant, but not as much to Weapon Skill Stun effects.
  • When it is trying to warp itself out, IF those who can use a stun effect WS, such as Tachi: Hobaku or Shoulder Tackle uses those, it is possible that one of the attempts will cause the Animated Staff to be temporarily stunned, thus interrupting its spell casting.
  • Before engaging, it is a common practice for all melee to not use their TP until they have 300%. This way, a large amount of damage can be done to the Animated Staff at the start of the battle. This will allow for those who can use a stun WS to have one ready again when the Animated Staff is getting bored.
  • If the Animated Staff manages to warp away, you will have to attempt the fight again.
    • From its dialogue, it appears to like magic damage more than melee damage. This may help you kill it before it attempts to Warp.
  • The Animated Staff uses the weapon skill Gate of Tartarus.
  • It can cast Sleepga and Breakga, as well as other earth elemental spells
  • Immune to Sleep and Lullaby.
