Londra is a rather easy boss to beat in Burning Shores, and the general strategy is to be patient with your attacks, aiming to hit the glowing parts of the machinery. A detailed explanation is given below:

1) Set off the battle when you enter the arena by kicking open the grate. Londra will immediately begin the offensive.

2) Target the cables hanging from the machinery around you. Use ranged attacks on the orange-yellow glowing bits. It may take several hits to destroy them.

3) Londra will not go down without a fight, however, and will spam electric shockwaves on the floor you are standing on. Time your jumps correctly to avoid being hit.

4) Once you start destroying the cables, several Power Distributors will be exposed. Head up to these structures and use melee attacks to destroy them - ranged attacks will not work.

5) Look out for loose electrical cables dangling in the pathway - being hit by these will chip off your HP.

6) Additionally, pick up the items lying around near the entrance to stock up on healing and weaponry materials.

7) Londra will also place a force field around the core to protect it against your attacks. Time them correctly and focus on the glowing bits when the shield is down.

8) The ground may glow red and be a serious hazard for Aloy in this state - avoid these spots.

9) Londra can also make use of the electric spheres that target you. Either choose to dodge or shoot them while they are charging up to avoid taking damage.

10) Destroying all the exposed modules of the core will sink the machinery to the ground, along with Londra.

11) Head towards him and use your melee attack to destroy the giant machine and put a stop to his nefarious plans.

A cutscene will follow after which the battle will have concluded, and players will reach the game's finale.
