Battlemage Hugues

Hugues combines a club with large Haima spells, using the evergaol’s open ground for ranged pressure.

Location and access

Sellia Evergaol

Battlemage Hugues

Sellia Evergaol

Starting Site of Grace: Dragonbarrow West

  1. Reach Caelem Ruins on the main road through northwestern Caelid. From the grace, ride east toward the narrow ravine separating the red ground from Dragonbarrow's higher plateau.
  2. Use Torrent to jump the narrow crossing, then continue east along the road to Dragonbarrow West grace. This route avoids having to open Sellia's sealed upper gate.
  3. Go south from Dragonbarrow West toward the western end of the long smoldering wall. Circle around the end of the wall onto the southern shelf, keeping to the ground instead of dropping over the outer cliff.
  4. Follow the shelf to the protruding cliff holding Sellia Evergaol. Look for the circular stone seal on the high ground above Sellia and Abandoned Cave, rather than descending toward the town or mine.
  5. Interact with the centre of the circle to enter. Defeat Battlemage Hugues alone for his ashes; Spirit Ashes and other players cannot help inside the evergaol.
  6. The spirit is awarded for the victory. The Battlemage outfit comes from the particular enemy in northern Altus, while Sellia Crystal Tunnel has a different boss and rewards.

Notes

  • Victory awards Battlemage Hugues’s ashes. His armor is obtained from a separate Battlemage enemy in Altus.
  • Spirit Ashes and cooperative summons cannot enter Sellia Evergaol. This fight must be prepared for alone.
  • The large magical hammer threatens nearby ground as well as the direct swing. Move out of the impact area before counterattacking.
  • At range, watch for the charged cannon blast and its explosion. A dodge away from the projectile’s line can still leave you near the burst.
  • Short attacks leave time to respond to his club when he switches from casting.
  • The prison is on the high shelf above Sellia. Sellia Crystal Tunnel below has a different boss and is not the entrance to this evergaol.
