How to beat the King boss in Saros

The King is the final boss of Saros, and they'll put your shielding, parrying, and dodging abilities to the test. Like most bosses in Saros, the King will have three phases, but, for this fight, each phase is separated by colors. However, they'll still send a ton of projectiles your way, so you'll need to be on your toes to stay alive. Luckily, there is a way to "cheese" the boss if you find an annihilator shotgun with recuperate. Here's how to beat the King in Saros, and how to avoid their attacks. The King is found at the end of the Yellow Shore, which is the final biome in Saros. Before you head in, we recommend applying the following Carcosan modifiers: The protection modifiers will improve your overall damage before and during the boss fight, while also improving your survivability by healing you when you face the King and giving you the ability to dodge red orbs and beams. Meanwhile, the trial modifiers will barely affect your capabilities in the Yellow Shore, as second chance is already disabled and you won't really need halcyon or lucenite if you beat the final boss. As for your weapon, we always recommend the smart rifle for its reliability, and it's just an easy gun to us
