Strategy Writeup
Zaruman Tam is unique in his ability to manipulate time and significantly slow down players. Watch out for his temporal magic and be sure to avoid their area of effect before they fully manifest as they can set you up for his more devastating moves such as his Crescent Blade Combo.
Despite his large arsenal of moves, Zaruman Tam also leaves himself open to retaliation a lot of the time due to his channeling animations. Take every opportunity to hit him once or twice while he's casting spells. Your biggest opportunity for damage is during his Temporal Shower attack as he is locked in a channeling animation for quite some time. You just need to make sure you close the distance before the projectiles start firing. Dodge behind him as he channels and punish the mage. Remember to take the opportunity to do grapple stabs when he gets staggered and his eye glistens briefly like a grappling point.
Once his health is depleted, press the appropriate button to execute him and devour his heart, ending the encounter.
Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Counter |
| Crescent Blade Slam | Zaruman Tam leaps into the air towards the player and then slams his crescent blade down. This attack has a very large hitbox due to the size of his weapon. Move under the mage as he leaps into the air. |
| Crescent Blade Combo | Zaruman Tam winds up by holding his crescent blade behind him. After a very brief delay, he performs three upward slashes in rapid succession while advancing forward. Get behind the mage during the wind-up, otherwise the combo is very difficult to avoid. |
| Temporal Shower | Zaruman Tam raises both glowing hands in front of him while a portal appears behind his head. Shortly after, dozens of tiny projectiles start shooting out of the portal diagonally towards the ground a short distance in front of the mage. You can avoid this attack by rolling behind the mage or remaining just out of reach of the projectiles' hitzone. |
| Void Tendrils | Zaruman Tam summons a large portal, usually on either side of the arena. Several tendrils partially break through the portal and thrash about for a few secons, dealing damage to anything they hit. Simply avoid being near the portal to prevent getting hit. |
| Temporal Pillars | Zaruman Tam raises his glowing hands in front of him as outlines of 3 energy pillars begin to manifest in the arena. Once fully formed, these pillars slow anything caught in their areas of effect down to a crawl. The pillars disappear after a short duration, reverting the speed of all affected back to normal. Position yourself away from the pillars as they begin to manifest. |
| Temporal Void | Causes the exact same effect as the Temporal Pillars move. The only difference is the shape of the effect. This one manifests as a large clock-like circle in a singular location. It has a fairly large hitbox but is otherwise identical to the pillars. |
