As you prepare to face the boss, bear in mind their teleporting abilities, formidable projectile attacks, six deadly paths emerging from the ground, and powerful tornadoes. The chamber where this epic battle unfolds is vast, so use it wisely. If you are a melee player, ensure to maintain a safe distance, while ranged players should take advantage of the chamber's space to launch their attacks strategically.

After The Curator initiates its attacks, it periodically pauses, providing an opportunity for melee players to capitalize on these breaks by executing heavy attacks. On the other hand, if you are a ranged player, you can consistently unleash a barrage of heavy attacks on the boss without interruption.

By skillfully blocking the boss' assaults and retaliating with powerful strikes, you will ultimately triumph over the Curator. Your victory will be rewarded with a substantial amount of gold, as well as other valuable items such as the Helm, Amulet, Heavy Pants, and Strider's Handwraps.
