You Face Astaroth During as the World Burns Quest, Which Had You Charging Toward Him in Cerrigar After Donan’s Son Was Recently Kidnapped.

Astaroth Fight (Attacks)

Astaroth Will Move Towards You to Attack but Later On, Will Begin to Leap All over the Place to Close the Distance Between the Two of You.

Astaroth’s Mount Spews out Flames in 3 Directions, Which Cover the Area in Front of Him to Deal Damage and Burn You over Time. (Move out of the Way or Evade to Avoid Getting Hit)

This Causes Astaroth (On His Mount) to Leap Across a Certain Distance to Relocate and Deal Damage Upon Landing. (Evading Is a Great Way to Avoid Getting Attacked Directly After)

Astaroth Swings His Weapon Around, Marking Areas That Shortly Have Meteors Fall to Deal Damage If You Are Standing in Them. (Stay out of the Marked Areas to Avoid the Impact and Burning Damage)

Commanding His Mount, Astaroth Causes It to Deal a Massive Bite in Front of It, Dealing Damage to You If You Are in Front of His Mount. (Evade the Attack in Advance When You See Him Glow)

Astaroth Winds up Before Unleashing a Powerful Swing in Front of Him, Dealing Damage in an Area to His Front. (This Is Similar to His Mount’s Bite and Can Be Evaded)

After a Quick Delay, Astaroth’s Mount Unleashes a Howl That Summons Werewolves and Mangy Hounds to Aid Its Master in Battle. (Kill These to Get Healing Potions and to Avoid Additional Sources of Damage)

Astaroth Attacks Slightly in Patterns and You Can Easily Tell Which Attack He Will Do Next, Making It Possible to Avoid Them.

Defeating Astaroth Does Not Drop Loot at the Start but After Speaking to Donan, the Loot Will Drop, Which Will Be Gear Based on Your Level.
