Solar Ash: How to Defeat Rust Dagger Remnant in Mirrorsea

Rust Dagger in Solar Ash, on the other hand, appears to be quite cool. I'd love to have a Rust Dagger on my team if it weren't so nasty. Unfortunately, he is wicked, and in order to complete Mirrorsea, you must destroy him. Here are the best Remnant-defeating tips and tricks you'll need.

Solar Ash has the potential to be the best indie title of the year. Solar Ash is a marvel to behold, developed by Heart Machine, whose sole other game is Hyper Light Drifter. It's full of fascinatingly different and interesting worlds that are enjoyable to traverse and explore. Mirrorsea is a fantastic illustration of this. Check out our Solar Ash instructions if you need some extra help finding the last few caches in Mirrorsea or fighting a boss.

How to Defeat Rust Dagger in Solar Ash

Rust Dagger crouches dormant on the vast expanse when you enter the final stretch of Mirrorsea, waiting for you to destroy all of the anomalies in the area. The Remnant will awaken once you've cleared the region, and the battle will begin.

The green toxic ponds that litter the map are the most difficult portion of the Rust Dagger combat. You can enter these toxic pools, but if you stay in them after your suit's protective protection has expired, you'll lose your shield and be sent back to a checkpoint. As a result, you'll always want to stay on land until the right time comes to strike Rust Dagger.

Stay away from Rust Dagger because he will stomp. Find your way to the dagger it's bragging about for the first timed assault. If it's in the green poison, be sure to cling to it with a timeslip for further safety. You'll grind up the dagger once you're on the beast, hitting his weak places and eventually his core nerve.

Don't worry if it takes a few tries to get the timing correct, as it does with all boss bouts. You'll be alright as long as you stay away from the toxic ooze as you fall. Rust Dagger will try to stab you with his dagger after the second successful timed assault. Avoid the strike by boosting back to safety, and then hit the final assault when his knife is stuck in the ground.

You've defeated the Rust Dagger Remnant in an instant. The Luminous Peak will be your final destination if you've completed all of the caches. Ironroot Basin is where you'll find the entry.
