So, you’ve faced the Wastard, the “Son of a Witch,” at the end of Karnok’s Wall, and now you’re itching for a rematch? Perhaps you’re after the legendary White Rider weapon, or just want to test your build against this formidable foe again. The good news is, re-engaging Wastard is relatively simple and can be done as many times as you desire. Here’s how you do it:
To fight Wastard again, you have two main methods. The most straightforward method after the initial completion of the story arc involving him is to utilize the Fast Travel system. Go to another zone, like Brighthoof, or any other map area. Then, use a fast travel point to return to Karnok’s Wall, specifically the “Positive Headspace” Fast Travel Station. This will immediately reset the boss encounter, allowing you to jump right back into the arena and face Wastard once more. The second method is simply exiting to the main menu and reloading your save file; upon loading, the boss encounter will be reset, and you can go directly to the arena and fight him. Both methods allow you to repeatedly farm Wastard.
The Battle Plan: Preparing for the Re-Fight
Before you jump into the fray, remember that Wastard has three distinct health bars: a ward (purple/blue), red health bar, and a white armor bar. You need to adjust your weaponry accordingly.
- Shock Damage: Begin with weapons that deal shock damage to quickly deplete his ward. This is your opening salvo.
- Fire Damage: Once the ward is down, switch to fire damage weapons and spells. These will be effective against his red health bar.
- Frost Damage: Finally, when his white health bar appears, use weapons with frost damage. Frost weapons are the key to inflicting maximum damage in the final phase of the encounter.
Having a combination of these damage types will give you the most efficient damage output and significantly increase your odds of success. Always stay aware of his attacks, use cover, and manage your cooldowns. With each victory, you’ll earn valuable experience points (EXP) and potentially secure some fantastic loot.
Mastering the Respawn Technique
The beauty of boss farming in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is its accessibility. There’s no need to trudge through lengthy sections of the game each time you want to refight a boss. The ability to fast travel back to a boss arena after moving to another zone provides quick and seamless access to repeat encounters. Once you’ve learned the mechanics of the Wastard fight, you can farm him easily and efficiently using this method. This system makes obtaining those coveted legendary drops, such as the White Rider, a far more manageable task.
