Lothar Rendain in Battleborn.

Lothar Rendain is a Boss.

Description[edit]

His many attacks are slashes with his arm encapsulating gauntlet. He will also use his shard style cape to launch a mid-range attack against single foes. He can send out shock waves that can send people a short distance up into the area. Be wary of them in case they start knocking a Battleborn toward the edges of the medium sized area.

After you destroy his shield, he will use a Varelsi Portal to escape. Then you will a jump pad appear to the East. Use it to reach the first landing. This will bring you up against a smaller Warlord Nix. Not much has changed with how he fights because of the minigun. Just launch a heavy assault against him. Getting him down to 50% health is likely to cause a Jennerit Warp Anchor to come crashing next to him. You will need to contend with Thrall Gunners coming in from above and Primal Thralls rushing at you.

Killing off Nix will spawn the next boss you need to deal with, Jailer Hylis in a different part of the area. Use a jump pad to get back to the central platform and then rush over to the West. Just like before, he will largely attack with his minigun. He can also launch missiles that will home in on highlighted areas on the ground. These will cause stun if a Battleborn is hit by them.

There is another Jump pad that will let you get to the first Western platform where you will find Hylis's Guards who are powering the shield protecting him. Kill the guards and then begin your attack on Hylis himself. He will be stunned for a short while after you destroy his shield, so use this time to inflict some very heavy damage on him. After a short while, the guards will respawn and restore his shield. You will need to repeat this cycle a few times to defeat him and trigger the next part of the fight.

With those two defeated you will see the next boss come in, a Varelsi Conservator. This enemy appears on the Southern icy platform. it can protect itself by generating a massive dark tendril shield. It will do damage to any Battleborn inside its range. This will not protect the smaller Varelsi. it will also loose volleys of dark energy at the Battleborn throughout the battle. After inflicting some damage, the Conservator will become shielded by Varelsi Wardens. Given enough time, it will start to expand out its very damaging dark energy shield. Any Battleborn caught in it will be taking constant damage. This field can cover about half the battle arena. Be sure to destroy the Wardens to stop the field from expanding or get very far away from the Conservator. It will do this a few times during the fight so be on guard as the damage passes through the 75% and 50% ranges. Just get through this to trigger the next part of fighting Rendain

Having destroyed the Conservator, it is time to resume the fight against Rendain. He will appear on the central platform of the arena. He will have a few new attacks this time. He can launch out his shard-like cape to come after the Battleborn. It will move in a serpentine matter to chase after you. It will stay on the move for a long time. He will also loose a twisted energy sword to inflict damage in a mid to short range, like before. It helps a lot to have one or two people focus their fire on Rendain while the rest manage the Thralls and other additional enemies coming in.

After some damage has been done to him, Rendain calls in Warp Anchors for reinforcements. This means yet more Thralls for you to deal with. These seem to bring in Primal Thralls and Thrall Brutes. He will also start to move around the platforms now to come chasing after the Battleborn here. He will call for them again when you reduce him down to 50% or less health.
