wizard101 how to beat astraeus

How to Beat Astraeus in Wizard101 Astraeus is the final boss of the Stellar Observatory dungeon in Empyrea Part 2. He is a Myth boss with 50,000 HP and uses powerful Myth and Star magic attacks. Heres a strategy to defeat him: Key Mechanics & Attacks Myth Spells: Uses high-damage Myth attacks like Orthrus, Minotaur, and Myth Colossus. Star Magic: Casts Celestial Calendar (a DoT-over-time effect) and Supernova (massive AoE). Minions: Summons Myth minions (like the Celestial Protector). Cheats: - "You cannot hide from the stars!" If you use a Shadow Spell, he removes all your blades. - "The stars have aligned!" At certain health thresholds, he casts Supernova (huge AoE damage). Recommended Team Setup 1 Tank (Ice or Life) High resist to survive hits. 1-2 Hitters (Storm, Fire, or Myth) High burst damage. 1 Support (Balance or Life) Blade stackers and healers. Strategy to Win Pre-Fight Preparation Gear: Use Myth resist gear (e.g., Titans Trident, Myth resist jewels). Pets: Myth-proof/defy pets help. Deck Setup: - Hitters: Pack single-hit spells (Tempest, Fire Dragon, Storm Lord). - Support: Bring Feints, Blades, and Heals. - Avoid Shadow Spells (unless you can tank the blade removal). Battle Execution Round 1-3: - Support Wizards cast Feints (regular & potent) on Astraeus. - Hitters stack blades (Elemental/Spirit Blade, Frenzy, etc.). - Tank taunts or shields if needed. Round 4-5: - Hit hard with a strong AoE (Meteor Strike, Storm Lord, Forest Lord). - If he casts Supernova, heal immediately (Satyr, Rebirth). Avoid Cheats: - Do NOT use Shadow Spells unless you can afford to lose blades. - Kill minions first if they become a problem. Finishing Blow At around 25% HP, Astraeus will spam Supernova. Hit fast with a high-damage single-target spell (Glowbug Squall, Fire Dragon, etc.). Alternative Solo Strategy (For High-Level Wizards) Ice/Life Wizards: Use Tower Shield, Legion Shield, and heals to survive. Myth Wizards: Use Earthquake to clear minions and blades. Storm/Fire Wizards: Stack Feints + Blades and one-shot with Tempest or Fire Dragon. Rewards for Beating Astraeus XP, Gold, and possibly the Stellar Key (for the Secret Tunnel in Empyrea). Chance for Myth-themed gear and Astral spell drops. Final Tip: If struggling, team up via the Team Up Kiosk in the Commons! Good luck, Wizard!
