Spawning

Darkbeard will spawn if a player goes to the middle of the Dark Arena and walk into the altar while holding a Fist of Darkness. Upon summoning Darkbeard, the sky will turn dark, and everyone will be alerted with a system message announcing in big, red letters: "The power of darkness has been unleashed". Every player's screen will shake and there will be a thunder sound effect which can be heard across the entire server. The effects will go away once he despawns or is defeated. Darkbeard despawns 15 minutes after being spawned.

Tips

It is recommended for the player to set their spawn point at the Snow Mountain, the Kingdom of Rose or the Ice Castle, as they are close to the Dark Arena. Players can also use Portal's to teleport to the arena directly. It is recommended to have at least five Second Sea players or two Third Sea players to defeat Darkbeard (a single player can still defeat him, but it is more difficult). It is recommended to use high damaging fruits like Lightning, Spider, or Venom. These fruits also have great stun and long range, which will be helpful for preventing Darkbeard from retaliating. Buddha is excellent against Darkbeard and with enough skill, as the player can solo him. M1 spamming against him will be extremely effective. Flash Step to avoid Dark Bomb will help greatly. However, the hitbox is very large and is punishable. The user might be hit by un-allied players, so it's best to ally when possible. It is also recommended to sky camp and attack Darkbeard with long range moves as most of its moves are ground based attacks. Recommended fighting styles are Sanguine Art,Death Step, or Electric Claw as they do a lot of damage (especially if the player is a Buddha user). It is possible to defeat Darkbeard alone. If the player decides to do so, it is recommended to keep a long distance so he cannot use his special attacks on them. Darkbeard uses a move around every two seconds, so it is recommended to keep moving around to dodge his attacks. Darkbeard also uses Flash Step, although he does not use it often and is able to spam his moves, which makes the fight more difficult.

Patch history

Darkbeard used to drop an item called the Rare Artifact. However, this has been removed in Update 11 and was replaced with Fragments. Darkbeard shares the same face decal as The Saw. If the player kills Darkbeard with 2x EXP activated they will get six levels instead of the standard three (except if they are max level). The player must deal at least 10% damage to Darkbeard in order to obtain kill credit, as with other Raid Bosses. Even if Darkbeard is spawned at night, the sky background will change to day and then to night again.
