u4gm Path of Exile 2 Beira Rotten Pack Winning Tactics
-
When you first face Beira of the Rotten Pack, it’s obvious this isn’t just about hitting hard – it’s more about staying sharp and moving smart. She’s all poison, fast lunges, and those nasty wolf summons that can wreck you if you’re sloppy. You’ll notice she drops into this low crouch just before leaping – that’s the cue to sidestep, not roll back. Her swipe combo is brutal if you eat it, so always keep some space. That poison spit of hers travels slow but leaves a deadly green puddle on the ground – easy to dodge if you’re alert, but one wrong step and you’ll be bleeding life fast. If you’ve stocked up on PoE 2 Items that help with mobility or resistance, they’ll pay off big here.
Early on it’s just you and her, but once she’s down about a quarter of her health, the real chaos kicks in. She howls – loud and long – and suddenly the Rotten Pack joins the party. These smaller wolves aren’t just filler; they’re fast, deal more damage than they look capable of, and stack bleed at a scary rate. If you’re caught standing still here, you’ll be done in seconds.
The smartest play is to kite Beira while pulling the wolves into a tight bunch, then drop your best area damage on them. Sounds simple, but with her chasing you and the pack snapping at your heels, it’s easy to panic. This phase is less about raw damage and more about keeping control of the fight’s pace.
Once Beira’s health dips to around sixty percent, her mood changes. She gets wilder, faster, and her moves hit harder. The worst is her Feral Howl – she stops, there’s this rising energy, then the arena lights up with a growing circle. Don’t think about dodging through it, just run for the edge. If that blast hits you, your defenses crumble and every hit after will sting twice as much. She’s in full predator mode here; the trick is not getting greedy. Land one or two hits after a dodge, then break away before she can counter.
By now, poison resistance isn’t just useful – it’s a lifeline. Cap it out before the fight and you’ll notice the difference. Keep a flask ready to clear bleeds, because the pack’s bites will still mess you up late in the fight. And whatever you do, have a movement skill in your pocket – Dash works fine – for escaping lunges and that massive howl attack.
Learn her rhythm: dodge clean, thin the wolves fast, and never underestimate her enraged state. With patience and the right prep, she’ll fall, and you’ll walk away richer in both loot and knowing you’ve beaten one of the game’s nastier encounters – especially if you’ve saved up enough poe2gold to gear up right beforehand.
