Outriders boss guide: How to defeat Yagak

It's boss time!

Outriders‘ The Caravel chapter – The second encounter with Yagak

Recommended Videos

This Yagak boss fight is the final one in Outriders‘ campaign and it takes place in The Caravel chapter. This battle against Yagak has two phases (denoted by his health bar).

 

Yagak’s abilities for phase 1

  • Overload – Yagak retains this ability. Once the shielding’s gone, he’ll unleash a lightning blast in a straight line (usually targetting your current location).
  • Anomaly Rifts – Yagak periodically spawns two floating orbs that act as turrets. They’ll fire slow-moving projectiles that definitely hurt if they hit you. You can destroy the Anomaly Rifts, or just sidestep to avoid the projectiles. Just remember that Yagak can spawn more of these whenever he casts this ability.
  • Sand Wyrm – A straight blue line will appear. After a couple of seconds, a serpent-like coil of lightning will zip through this space.
  • Grasping Shock – A large circle will appear around Yagak after he teleports. Electricity will flash from this spot.

Phase 1 is mostly about sidestepping to avoid the hits from Anomaly Rifts and all other attacks. Since Yagak doesn’t summon mobs during this phase, and destroying Anomaly Rifts doesn’t count as kills, you can’t rely on any “on-kill” perk or mod to keep you in tip-top shape. I would suggest using a mod like “Essence Thief” on your weapon to keep regenerating health while shooting Yagak.

Note: If you’re playing as a Trickster, use Slow Trap followed by Twisted Rounds as part of your DPS sequence.

Transition

After you deplete the first segment of Yagak’s health bar, there will be a short cutscene. You’ll then find yourself on a desert plain with a few warrior-type mobs. This is a good time to heal and prep. Once you reach the next area, phase 2 of Outriders‘ Yagak boss fight will commence.

Note: The game doesn’t save in between phases. If you die during phase 2, you’ll restart from the very beginning of the boss fight.

Yagak’s abilities for phase 2

Yagak retains the abilities from the previous phase. He also has some extra tricks:

  • Chain Lightning – He’ll fire lightning bolts in your direction.
  • Grappling Hook – A straight blue line will appear. Yagak will dash toward that direction.
  • Hook Smash – Yagak does a multi-hit combo and a blue circle appears around him. He’ll smash his weapon in a wide arc.
  • Force Field – Yagak punches the ground; he’ll be immobilized and shielded. Then, he’ll summon at least four berserker mobs. You can kill these dudes for some extra healing.

Naturally, this phase is a lot tougher than the first one. You’ll need to avoid so much crap on the ground, as well as the projectiles from half a dozen or so Anomaly Rifts. You need to be extra careful, especially if you’re playing at higher World Tiers.

Ideally, you’ll want to wait until Yagak’s done with his Overload shield (so you can take out his minions and regen health). Then, pop your skill cooldowns to nuke him while he’s in the middle of his casting animation or multi-hit combo.

After you beat Yagak, you’ll be treated to Outriders‘ ending cinematic. You’ll then find yourself on a small campsite where you can do the endgame Expeditions.

Note: The loot you get from Yagak is inside the chest next to the Expedition table. You’re likely to get a legendary item as part of the rewards.
