Efaunt
Keys to enter the Efaunt boss arena can currently only be gotten from shipments of Sandstone Colosseum chests.
Attacks
Top Left Attack: Hammer Slam. One hit KO that hits Top Left and Middle Left platforms. This may be one of the more tricky to dodge. Watch for the hammer to do a 360 spin before it comes slamming down. Run if you see the spin.
Bottom Left Attack: Death's Finger Poke. One hit KO attack like Top Left and Top Right arms. You can tell attack is coming because arm stops swaying, arm starts shaking violently, hand does a 360 rotation, then poke of death. If you run when you see the arm shaking and hand spin, you can avoid hit.
Bottom Right Attack: Scimitar Swing. This attack can hit you on all 3 platforms on the right side if you melee. Thankfully its the weakest of the 6 arm attacks. Attack is coming when the arm raises fully up, as high as the top right arm. Take a step back or just take the hit and heal.
Middle Left Attack: Blue Flame Orb. One of the most active arms. Constantly casts blue flames to appear on the ground and hit. Can hit you almost anywhere on stage. The orb shakes and flashes white before red circles appear on the floor before the attacks start. Run off the red circles.
Top Right Attack: Death's Caress. One hit KO as Hand gently touches you for over 5,000 damage. You can tell the attack is coming because the arm stops moving. Attack with range or run fast. The least active arm so easy to kill before it goes off.
Middle Right Attack: Purple Ring Orb. One of the least active arms. Shoots 3 purple rings wherever you are standing on the stage. Can hit you anywhere. Orb shakes and flashes white before purple rings come. Thankfully the rings are slow so run away from the attack path.
Head: You can only attack the head after all 6 arms are dead. Shoots blue rings at you in a spiral pattern. Sometimes blue rings will fall from the top of the screen. Attack and finish this boss off for sweet loot.
Ranking order of damage per arm
- Weakest: Bottom Right

- Top Left (still one hit KO)
- Bottom Left (one hit KO)
- Strongest: Top Right (one hit KO)
Archer Strategy
The following was done with a Birch Longbow with 170 range. Any better bow with more range may make things easier.
Recommend you start with Middle Left Arm first since the Blue Flame Orb will constantly be casting and you will need to dodge while killing the other arms. Be careful though because the Hammer can hit you while you are attacking - watch for the hammer spin to avoid. You can then kill the Middle Right Arm by just firing away so you can take your time on the other 4 arms.
Both the Top Left Arm and Bottom Left Arm can hit you as an Archer with Birch Longbow so watch the timing and kill carefully. You want to run in, fire a few arrows, watch for the triggers, run away, and repeat. If you struggle with the timing, you can stand at the back of the Platform and spam ranged skills like Homing Arrows and Piercing Arrow.
Both the Top Right Arm and Bottom Right Arm cannot hit you if you stand the proper distance. Fire away and kill.
Once the 6 arms are dead, the Armor buff is gone from Efaunt's Head. Finish him off, dodging the blue rings and healing as necessary. If it helps, you can stand back and spam skills to better avoid the blue rings.
Using the lower 150 range Wooden Bow, all the same strategy applies. Though the Scimitar attack can now attack you when you are in normal attack range for the Top Right Arm.
Warrior Strategy
The following was done with a Steel Axe with 62 range. Any better melee weapon with more range may make things easier.
Study the attack patterns described above because all attacks can hit you when within a melee range. You will be running in, getting a few attacks in, watch for the imminent attack, run away, and repeat.
Prefer you start with the Middle Left Arm so you can do the other arms at a bit more leisure. Careful as the Hammer swing will hit and kill you, even with 1,500 health.
Move on to the Middle Right Arm so you no longer need to avoid the purple rings. Careful as the Scimitar will hit you if you are attacking the arm.
The Top Left Arm, Bottom Left Arm, and Top Right Arm are all One Hit KO's at the range you need to stand to attack so watch the arms carefully. You could switch to a Wooden Bow but that would only protect you against the Top Right. It's all about timing.
I'm leaving the Bottom Right Arm last as its the least damaging and in my mind the easiest. Finish it off.
Finally the Head is available to attack. Wail away at the head, dodging blue rings and taking a break to heal if necessary.
Mage Strategy
If you only have a Gnarled Wand or Quarterstaff equipped on your mage, it is dangerous as those have 115/120 range. Recommend you equip the Wooden Bow instead with 150 range. This will allow you to follow a similar strategy as the Archer Strategy, albeit spamming different skills.
Using the Wooden Bow or higher tier Mage weapons like Starlight or Crow's Nest, you can emulate a similar strategy as the Archer strategy. Fireball lets you attack from the back of the platform, similar to Piercing Arrow.
If you have a Shaman with a leveled Crazy Concoctions talent, you can cheese your way through this boss. The Bottom Left Arm can be attacked by standing on the platform below and throwing the potion above. You can also stand at the back of most of the Platforms and attack all arms.
