Master Bakir Boss Guide: Phases, Attack Combos & Weaknesses

Who Is Master Bakir in The Blood of Dawnwalker?

Master Bakir stands as the primordial progenitor of the Sanguis bloodline and the ultimate architect behind the impending Crimson Eclipse. Encountered atop the Crimson Spire in Act III, his multi-phase duel tests every skill you have acquired throughout the /guides/30-day-time-system/.

Phase 1: High Blood Sorcery & Teleportation (100% – 70% HP)

During Phase 1, Master Bakir floats gracefully above the marble dais, unleashing wide-range blood projectiles:

1. Crimson Siphon Stream: Channels a continuous red laser beam that siphons your health to replenish his own.
   • Counter: Hide behind the obsidian columns or activate Mist Dash to blink directly behind him.
2. Blood Orb Detonation: Summons four floating spheres of volatile blood that track your position.
   • Counter: Strike them with your silver blade from a distance to detonate them before they converge.
3. Noble Blade Riposte: If you attack blindly during his defensive stance, Bakir parries and impales you.
   • Counter: Wait for his recovery frames before unleashing heavy combos.

Phase 2: Dual Blood Rapiers & Shadow Blitz (70% – 30% HP)

At 70% health, Bakir summons twin rapiers of hardened blood:

• Six-Hit Flurry: Executes six lightning-fast thrusts finishing with an unblockable overhead stab.
  • Strategy: Parry the first two strikes, dodge backward on strike five, and mist-dash through the sixth plunge.
• Eclipse Nova: Darkens the entire arena, teleporting to strike from random angles.
  • Strategy: Listen for his audio tell—a distinct metallic hum—and parry immediately upon hearing the chime.

Phase 3: Primordial Beast Transformation (30% – 0% HP)

In his final desperate phase, Bakir mutates into a colossal winged monstrosity spanning the entire observatory:

• Roof Collapse Slam: Claws the ceiling to bring down falling debris across the floor.
  • Strategy: Watch the floor shadows to avoid crushed debris, then strike his exposed chest core with solar magic.
• Apex Frenzy Cleave: Sweeps the entire room in a 360-degree arc.
  • Strategy: Jump or use Mist Dash iframes to clear the sweep.
