Attack
Furnace ring
Releases a searing ring of heat around itself — the hardest-hitting ring attack.
How to dodge it: Keep your distance while it winds up; the inner pocket is safe, the band around it is not.
Strategy
How to beat Furnace Keeper
- Fight in the open, away from walls and props, so you always have room to leave the warning shape.
- Kite in wide circles: your skills keep firing while you move, the boss does not.
- Clear the regular horde around the boss first; the fight is the boss, not the crowd.
- Watch the phase marks on the boss health bar — each one is a moment to stay patient rather than greedy.
Skills that make this fight easier: Lightning, Frost Nova, Soul Reaper.
