The best Weapons & Modules
Due to her Electric-based damage,players should have at least 350 in Electric Resistanceto survive against her formidable attacks. Aside from this, equip Modules such as Electric Antibody and Maximize Electric Resistto improve your defense.
To improve your Toxin abilities, which should be the focal point of your damage, theToxic Mastery offensive Module increases Toxin ATKwhen using weapons. Moreover, the Toxin Enhancement and Toxin Priority also maximize Toxin ATK output for your weapons.
Aside from the Toxin, The Stunning Beauty is also vulnerable to Crush-type damage. Ensure that you equip weapons like handguns, machine guns, and submachine guns that can deal this type of damage.
All your weapons should ideally have the Toxin ATK stat, andat least 10,000+ DPS when playing Normal Mode, otherwise in Hard Mode, there shouldn’t be a limit. The elemental damage on weapons can be altered by using Weapon Modules or Weapon Options via the Workbench in Albion.
Make sure your weapons don’t deal with Electric ATK, as this can unintentionally make The Stunning Beauty stronger by filling up her rage gauge quicker.

Stunning Beauty Combat Strategy
The very first thing players must do at the beginning of combat is use their Ecive scanner on The Stunning Beauty. This will allow you toidentify her weak points and also reveal the rage gaugebelow her health bar.
To destroy her weak spots, prioritize aiming for herSensor and the center-mass regionof her body. You can use your Grapple Hook to get up and close to these areas to remove them, allowing you to deal direct damage.
The boss also spawns Kingfishers. These small, star-shaped mobs swarm players while also attacking from a distance and can knock you back as well as stun-lock with their attacks. If they manage to land any hits, you will be vulnerable to the boss’s attacks, which can be devastating if she chooses one of her AoE damage types. Ensure defeat them whenever they’re summoned to get yourself some HP drops.
Aside from her main attacks,she also has a teleportation ability, which she uses frequently. This adds a challenging layer to the fight, making her difficult to target and players vulnerable to surprise attacks. Due to this, it may be a good idea toplay with friends inThe First Descendant, allowing your party to be prepared for The Stunning Beauty to appear from all sides of the arena.
While The Stunning Beauty lacks HP-regen abilities, there are other concerning factors that players must be prepared to counter. Aside from her huge arsenal of attacks, which can deal AoE and direct one-hit KO attacks, players must watch out for the Eyeball summoned after her rage meter fills up.
The Stunning Beauty’s Enraged State
The Stunning Beauty’s rage gauge fills up over time, regardless of the type of damage inflicted by players. As mentioned, using Electric-based damage will cause the gauge to fill up faster, so make sure not to useBunny inThe First Descendantduring this fight. It will lead to The Stunning Beauty entering her Enraged State, thusinvulnerable to all incoming damagethe player deals.
At this stage, players must take extra precautions, as The Stunning Beauty uses her Sensor to spawn ahuge metal ball above her head, forming a giant eyeball. This monstrosity deals devastating damage if you’re caught in its line of sight, but there are a few things that players should attempt to observe, indicating whether or not you’re safe:
All the while, these events occur, and the Kingfishers and theboss can demolish players inThe First Descendantby continuing to attack. This can all be exceedingly overwhelming to deal with at once and can often cause many to perish.
Fortunately,easynowprovides some tips as to how best to deal with this scenario. As it’s almost impossible to dodge the eye, which deals catastrophic damage that can immediately kill the player, your best bet is totake cover using the surrounding structures.
The best method is to pop out to shoot the eye and roll back to your covered zone. Take extra care with the in-and-out method; if the Kingfishers stun-lock you while you’ve come out of your cover, you will be left extremely exposed to the eye’s line of sight, possibly leading to your death. Take care of these while the eye is preoccupied, ideally when you’re not
Be mindful that while shrouded by cover, you are not guaranteed safety, as some of The Stunning Beauty’s attacks can destroy the structures you are using. If she deals her deadly Lightning Strike while hiding from the eye, keep an eye on the floor below you,looking out for a blue circle that you must immediately roll out ofto avoid the AoE damage.
Whether you destroy the giant eye or not, The Stunning Beauty’srage gauge will eventually exhaust, thereby ending her Enraged State and despawning the eye if it is still alive. Until then, continue to dodge and attack as recommended until you can deal damage directly to the boss.
