REWARDS
LORE & DESCRIPTION
A FRENZIED CONCHFLY THAT HAUNTS THE MARROW TUNNELS. IT SLASHES THROUGH CAVERNS WITH RAZORED SHELL AND UNPREDICTABLE SWEEPS. MANY GRAND HUNT ROUTES CROSS ITS LAIR, MAKING THIS ENCOUNTER A COMMON TEST OF DISCIPLINE AND POSITIONING.
MOVESET
A straight pass-through that can cross the arena. Bait the line, sidestep, then take 1–2 hits as it brakes. Straight Pin is reliable here.
A circling slash path that drifts toward you. Don’t chase. Let it finish and punish the landing with up to 2 hits.
Scatters razor shards in a cone. Keep lateral movement and punish only after the volley ends. Multibinder and Thread Storm help control space.
