Thodes — Detailed Guide

Thodes the Widowmaker is the Guardian boss of Astraeos in ASA, a huge club-wielding Cyclops. It is fought in its own arena at Gamma, Beta and Alpha difficulty and cannot be tamed.

Where to find it

The Thodes Arena on Astraeos, reached through the Obelisks.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred, and it is immune to torpor.

Uses

  • Summoning: player level 45, 65 or 85 for Gamma, Beta or Alpha, plus the Brute, Pack and Devourer artifacts. Beta and Alpha also need creature trophies such as Megalodon Teeth and Spinosaurus Sails.
  • Rewards: 200, 450 or 750 Element by tier, a Gamma, Beta or Alpha Thodes Trophy to match, and a Divine Spear Skin on Alpha.
  • Engrams: it unlocks Tek engrams such as the Tek Replicator, Tek Gauntlets and Tek doors and windows, with more on the higher tiers.

Tips

It resists most damage until its eye starts to pulse. Shoot the eye with a ranged weapon to stun it, then hit hard while it is weakened. Its swings reach far and can knock riders off their mounts.
