Fenumus, First of the Night is a unique boss located in Fenumus' Lair. It is one of the four Spirit Beasts.

Portals to Fenumus' Lair can be crafted via a beastcrafting recipe using the Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid and any three yellow beasts. Note that buying the Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid beast from other players and adding it to your bestiary WILL NOT unlock the portal recipe and grant access to Fenumus' Lair. Player need to unlock the recipe prior. However, beastcrafting is account-bound which meant it can be done in previous league.

Strategy[ | ]

Chaos resistance goes a long way against Fenumus.

Fenumus has a low attack speed and only attacks from range, meaning if you continuously move around, its dart attack will miss you.

Spit Mortar and Ground Stab both have a wind-up, so you can be ready to dodge them. When you see it preparing ground stab, move away from it and continue moving to dodge the web appearing at your feet. For Spit Mortar, it'll shoot in the direction it's facing, so try to get behind it. The projectile's first few forks won't be too large, but the later ones will practically engulf half the room.

At 50% life, you will be webbed and teleported to an underground mine. Any ground effects or totems will disappear, as well as debuffs on Fenumus.

The webbed stones will unleash their chaos spark when the 3rd green pulse ends, allowing you to easily position yourself to avoid getting shotgunned; single sparks do not deal much damages.

Do note that poisons will last longer than usual, which will notably delay energy shield recharge.
