Dukmar is an arrogant god, which makes defeating him in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn all the more satisfying. But he won’t go down without a fight, so you’ll need to learn the best tips and tricks to defeat this boss.

Unlike Rammuha, who has two layers of armor, Dukmar only has one. You have to fill his Priming Gauge and then land a critical hit to strip him of his armor. After you do that, he becomes a lot easier to fight.

My approach to defeating Dukmar in Flintlock was simple: go in, land a few hits, and then jump out—literally. Dukmar has a ton of area-of-effect attacks, but if you jump over them, they won’t damage you. His melee attacks can also be tough to parry, but they’re short-ranged, so I opted to dodge my way out—or jump over them. Finally, in his second phase of the fight, he starts firing fast-moving projectiles of light, making the distance you put between you and him increasingly valuable.

Since you'll be dodging a lot in this fight, I recommend equipping the Sunderer's Set. If you equip at least two Sunderer's items, your dodges will teleport you a short distance, making it easier to dodge enemy attacks. The Sunderer's Pauldron also slows enemy movement for 1.5 seconds, giving you a bit more time to jump back at Dukmar, land a few hits, and then retreat.
