💀 His attacks

Ring of Fire SmashA ring of flames appears around him, then he slams the ground and throws everyone nearby into the air. RUN when you see the ring!
Bone ArrowsIf you stay far away, he shoots arrows at you.
Arise, my minions!He calls skeletons to help. Clear them so they don't surround you.
Soul PylonsGlowing purple crystals (Knight and Legend). While any are standing, your hits don't hurt him. Break them first!
EnragedAt about a quarter of his health he gets faster and calls extra help. One last push!
