Mortal Shell 2 Vrannic Boss Guide and Location

The direct answer

Vrannic, the Grand Illusionist, is at the end of the Hall of Illusions, reached by cleansing the Mushroom Village Gate Beacon. The pickup is Volatile Fragment.

Before entering the arena

• Reach Mushroom Village in Fainweald.
• Cleanse the Mushroom Village Gate Beacon to open the Hall of Illusions.

How to beat Vrannic

1. Ignore copies until you see the real cast. Vrannic creates illusions and tracking projectiles. Find the caster, not every image.
2. Sidestep the tracking shots. Do not backpedal in a straight line.
3. Punish after a projectile volley. Short hits, then leave before the next illusion set.
4. Take Volatile Fragment. The dungeon is done when that pickup is registered.
