Honkai: Star Rail - Flame Reaver Of The Deepest Dark Boss Fight Guide

Honkai: Star Rail Update 3.1 introduces the formidable Flame Reaver, the game's main antagonist, in a challenging multi-phase boss fight. This guide details its attacks, passive abilities, and strategies for victory.

The Flame Reaver, initially known as "???", boasts a complex attack set rivaling Nikador's damage output. The fight involves multiple phases and summons up to four minions, significantly increasing the difficulty. The first encounter is scripted for a loss, allowing players to deplete its HP to 1% before the fight concludes.

Flame Reaver Passive Abilities

The Reaver's passive abilities heavily Influence the battle:

Passive Ability	Description
Damage Reduction	Starts with Eight stacks, each reducing damage taken by 5%. One stack is lost per defeated Long-Shattered Vessel minion.
Entangled by Agony	After absorbing a Long-Shattered Vessel, the Reaver restores the HP consumed. If the Vessel is defeated first, HP isn't regained.
Calamity Power	The "Cry Not For The Discarded" attack consumes all Calamity Power stacks, increasing its hits per action.

Flame Reaver Phase One Attacks

The first post-tutorial fight is a single-phase encounter. The second encounter features two phases with similar attacks. The Reaver can inflict Corrosion, reducing max HP, recoverable only by damaging the Reaver.

Attack Name	Type	Description
But Suffering Is Essential	AoE Attack	Consumes Calamity Power, dealing multiple instances of minor Physical damage to all allies. Damage scales with Calamity Power consumed.
Demise's Storm	Blast	Moderate Physical damage to one target and adjacent allies.
Fading Fate	AoE Attack	Moderate Physical damage to all allies, converting a portion of reduced HP into Corrosion.
Roads Mingled	Enhance	Long-Shattered Vessels enter Mutual Sacrifice, setting up Underworld's Grief.
Underworld's Grief	AoE Attack	Reaver and Vessels use Demise's Storm or Fading Fate. Reaver absorbs Vessels, healing and gaining Calamity Power.
Pain of Parting	Talent	During Demise's Storm or Fading Fate, consumes HP to summon Long-Shattered Vessels, converting spent HP to Entangled by Agony.
Resolute Farewell	Talent	Starts with Damage Reduction stacks; one stack lost per defeated Vessel.

Flame Reaver Phase Two Attacks

Phase two maintains a similar structure, but:

1. Its ultimate attack is unavoidable, only its damage can be mitigated.
2. Long-Shattered Vessels are almost always present.
3. Mydeimos' ability provides massive AoE damage.

New attacks in Phase Two (in addition to Phase One attacks):

Attack Name	Type	Description
Cry Not for the Discarded	AoE Attack	Deals Physical damage to all, consuming Calamity Power for additional damage instances.
Silent Sorrow	Charging	Gains Calamity Power, using Cry Not for the Discarded on its next action.
Lost Sacrifice	Talent	Within Silent Sorrow, consumes HP to summon a Long-Shattered Vessel, converting HP to Entangled by Agony.

Long-Shattered Vessel Attacks and Passives

Long-Shattered Vessels have their own attacks and passives:

Attack Name	Type	Description
Self-Destruct	Passive	Dies if the Reaver is defeated.
Futility	Passive	Resists Crowd Control.
Mutual Sacrifice	Blast/AoE	Uses Demise's Storm or Fading Fate alongside the Reaver.
Prayers For Me	Talent	Resists Crowd Control; attacks with Reaver during Demise's Storm or Fading Fate if summoned by that attack.
Libations For Me	Talent	If defeated, and Reaver has Calamity Power and is in Silent Sorrow, it's immediately resummoned.

Strategies for Victory

Prioritize defeating Vessels to reduce Reaver damage and utilize AoE damage dealers. Maintain sustain abilities and use ultimates liberally. Mydeimos' ability is crucial before "Cry Not for the Discarded".
