Are you trying to quickly kill the first boss in Spire of the Watcher Dungeon? Then you are in luck, as here we will go through everything you need to know on how to kill this boss efficiently and all the mechanics.

Destiny 2 is a popular looter-shooter video game created by Bungie, well known for its creation of the Halo franchise of video games. In this MMO RPG, you can select from three distinct classes and earn various weapons from raids and other activities. Additionally, you can complete some Dungeons and Raids to obtain some exotics gears and weapons.

However, if you want to obtain some exotic gear and high-power-level armor, then you might need to run some dungeons. Dungeons are also the most efficient way to farm materials and other essential items such as enchantment core and enchantment prism.

Although dungeons are not that hard to complete, the bosses can be a pretty nuisance if you don’t know the correct mechanics. So don’t worry; in this guide, we will go through a step-by-step guide on defeating Akelous, Siren’s Current Encounter, so that you can complete Spire of the Watcher Dungeon without a hitch.

Who is Akelous, Siren’s Current?

Before discussing how to defeat Akelous, Siren’s Current, let’s talk briefly about what it is or where to find it. Akelous, Siren’s Current, is the first boss of Spire of the Watcher Dungeon, and since it is the first one, he is a pretty tough guy too. If you want to face it solo or with average teammates, you will have difficulty defeating this guy.

Although it’s not impossible to defeat it solo, it would be much easier to complete this dungeon with some good teammates and some good gear. Also, it is good practice to watch some videos or read some articles about any new dungeon and its mechanics so that you can have a good sense of what to do and how to do it.

After reaching the boss’s floor, you will see a structure. On this structure, four different arms are jutting out, and this is where you need to focus your attention because, on each of these jutting-out arms, you’re going to see some glowing electric box jutting out of the surface. This is where the connection leads.

So start the connection in the middle of the platform where the boss spawns. Find a Minotaur kill him, get the buff shoot in the middle first and then follow the circuit out to one of these arms until eventually when you complete the circuit.

After activating those nodes, the metal box will go down, and you will get a notification on your screen saying the fuel Rod is activated, and you’re going to continue to do that for the other three fuel rods as well.

Once you do the last one, then the boss is actually going to become available to damage. So you’ll see the boss move over to that final fuel rod, which is very important to remember. Wherever the last and the fourth one you’ve done, that’s where the boss will go, so make sure you do them carefully. If you’re doing the last one, ensure your entire team is there and ready for DPS.

After teleporting right near the last fuel rod, the boss will open up, and you need to shoot the different glowing objects that look like eyes. once you’ve shot all of them, the boss will open up even more glow white and become available to DPS.

  • So first of all, clear the ads, then kill the conduit Minotaur to get the buff.
  • After obtaining the buff, shoot those pillars to activate them.
  • Remember, the boss will be teleported to the last pillar that you have activated.
  • After teleporting, its eyes will start to glow, break them, and it will enter the damage phase.
  • So, place your well of radiance and start DPS.
  • However, if you can kill the boss in a single phase, you have to repeat the process until it dies.
