How to Defeat Lion Rampant in "On the Hunt"

Fearsome Glint is a cone attack in the direction the boss is facing. The attack marker only appears briefly, just before the attack, so stand behind the boss when it casts this.

Augmentation of Beacons places glowing objects around the edge of the area. Each will place a line attack marker across the area. These attack markers will then rotate, and eventually a timer will appear above each one, counting down from 3. When the countdown timers are about to count down to 1, try to position yourself so you will be in a safe spot when the countdown completes.

The line attack markes will then spin again and perform another countdown, so dodge them as you did before, but beware of the boss casting Fearsome Glint toward the end of the countdown.

Shockwave damages all participants multiple times.

Augmentation of Roundels places glowing objects in several spots on the area. Move to a location where you are as far away from all of these glowing objects as possible. The boss will then cast Augmentation of Stones, hiding the glowing objects in piles of stones, and also placing piles of stones that don't have glowing objects in them. Then the boss will cast Augmentation of Beacons, creating another set of rotating line attacks. Continue to stay near the rocks that are far away from the hidden glowing objects, but you will also have to dodge circle attacks in random locations at this time. As long as you stay near your original safe spot far away from the now-hidden glowing objects, you just need to move left or right as needed to stay out of the random circle attacks, and to stay out of the line attack once it stops rotating, so that when the boss casts Flatten to make the hidden glowing objects perform their circle attacks, you will still be far away from them.

The next time the boss casts Augmentation of Beacons, there will also be moving circle attacks along with the rotating line attacks. Keep an eye on the countdowns to see whether the lines will attack first, or the circles. You only need to worry about the one that will attack first, so try not to be distracted by the attack markers that will attack second. As soon as the first attacks go off, get into a safe location to avoid the second, and watch out for the boss to cast Fearsome Glint soon after the second attack.
