Tips and Tricks

Sum as a whole is a largely easy A-rank fight. For the unaware, it can be deadly however.

Sum will cast Nightmarish Light periodically, creating a large AoE circle around it. As Nightmarish Light is a Gaze-style attack, turning around and not facing towards Sum will negate this mechanic.

Soon after casting Nightmarish Light, Sum will cast Garish Light, a smaller AoE circle around it. Running out of Garish Light is not difficult; however if you are hit by the spell you are given the Minimum effect which turns your character small - decreasing damage dealt, increasing damage taken, and slowing your movement speed.

Sum's final attack is Bog Bomb, a standard targeted AoE attack. While under the effect of Minimum, this attack can one-shot. During his attack pattern, he will cast bog bomb four times in succession.

Description

There are two kinds of creatures on the steppes: those whose coloring blends in with the grasses and the rocks...and those who sear the eyes with their motley hues. Any child could tell you that the first kind is patterned thus to avoid discovery by predators. But what of the second? Should you ever encounter Sum, you will soon learn why its skin glistens crimson like freshly spilled blood... It is a warning. Template:Elite Marks
