General tips
- You can use both the mount and summons during the fight - do this if you have a problem with the boss.
- The boss can summon reinforcements - this is his main strength. It's not worth focusing on them. Instead, keep attacking the boss.
- The Tibia Mariner's attacks can kill his newly summoned units!
- The Tibia Mariner can often disappear from sight. Look around as he will appear near the arena in which you are fighting. His health bar will remain the same as the one he had before teleporting.
Mage build - how to fight?
Tibia Mariner is one of the optional bosses. He doesn't require complex tactics and he doesn't have many attacks. During the fight, he will summon skeletons with spears. They're slow and easy to avoid, so don't worry about them. Focus on attacking the boss. Preferably by standing behind him.
Fighting Tibia Mariner as a mage is quite simple. You don't have to approach Tibia Mariner too close - this boss is the most dangerous at this distance. You can shoot him with spells from a distance.
You can also use summons during the fight. Most of them will be useful in this fight, so it's worth choosing the ones that are the most upgraded.
What's more, fighting on a mount makes the boss much easier. Mainly because Tibia Mariner is summoning units that will attack you. In addition, the boss will often teleport around the arena.
Melee build - how to fight?
Tibia Mariner has one particular attack that you should be aware of. He uses a boat as a weapon - the opponent stands upright and prepares for an overhead attack. It is easy to avoid this attack by dodging to the side or sprinting. Don't be afraid to attack - just watch out for any skeletons around.
You can make the fight even simpler by using the mount. When performing a charge with a strong attack at Tibia Mariner, you are basically untouchable. This method will allow you to easily avoid the boss's and skeletons' attacks (they will die after defeating the boss).
