The First Descendant: How to Beat Stunning Beauty

In The First Descendant, there are many Void Intercept Battles when going through the main story, and the first ones may be the hardest ones to finish if you are new to the game and its mechanics. So, if you are struggling to beat the Stunning Beauty in The First Descendant, get ready to learn what to do so you can progress the story faster.

The First Descendant: Stunning Beauty’s Weak Spots and Weaknesses

Each boss you encounter in the Void Intercept Battles has a screen showing their weaknesses and what weak spots players can exploit to do more damage and get their shields down faster. Like with other Void Intercept Battle bosses, Stunning Beaty has a few spots players can focus on to do as much damage as possible to defeat her quickly.

I beat the Stunning Beauty using Lepic with an assault, sniper, and tactical rifle combo. While fighting her, you will encounter a bunch of small enemies that will help you recover some ammo and health, but if you want to try another weapon, you could switch your tactical rifle for a hand cannon.

You must focus on her balancer, core cover, sensor, shoulder, and core to defeat the Stunning Beauty. I recommend you focus on her balancer and shoulders first, as these are the easiest parts to damage. If you are fast, you can get close to her legs and shoot her balancer off with an SMG before she focuses on you.

To damage her shoulders, I recommend you use a machine gun or an assault rifle, as those parts are bigger than her sensor and core cover. Shooting her shoulders from afar with a machine gun or assault rifle is an efficient way to distance yourself from danger while doing damage and contributing to your team. If you are using a machine gun, you should fire in bursts, as holding the trigger will cause you to be inaccurate at long distances.

To shoot off Stunning Beauty’s core cover, sensor, and core, you must be precise as those parts are small compared to her shoulders and balancers. When beating the Stunning Beauty, I was successful in using my sniper rifle to damage those parts from a distance. Rare ammo will not spawn every time you kill one of her minions, but if you save your ammo and are precise, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to hit those weak parts and kill her.

The First Descendant: How to Fight Stunning Beauty

Killing the Stunning Beauty can be difficult if you don’t focus on her weak spots and aren’t careful when she attacks you after dealing lots of damage.

Her balancers are one of the easiest spots to hit, so equip your best weapon and start damaging that part. If you get too close, the Stunning Beauty will try to stomp you, so keep that in mind if you decide to use your SMG or a shotgun to damage her balancers.

Throughout your fight, The Stunning Beauty will spawn a few minions called Kingfishers. These little guys don’t do much damage by themselves, but when surrounded, they can be deadly, so make sure you kill them as fast as you can. Kingfishers drop ammo, health, and energy for your skills, so make sure you remember where you killed them so you can pick up ammo if you need it later.

After taking a lot of damage, Stunning Beauty will do a couple of animations that you can take advantage of and inflict more damage. While she’s grabbing her stomach in pain, you can quickly go to her side and shoot her sensors or core cover with a sniper as she barely moves while doing the animation. Using a sniper to shoot these parts is your best bet, as the added zoom makes it easier than aiming with other weapons, so consider when deciding what weapons to equip for this boss.

Some Stunning Beauty’s attacks can go through walls, so you must keep dodging her electrified shrapnel and shots.

Another attack that can be deadly is Stunning Beaty’s electrified spheres. Stunning Beauty will launch lots of blue spheres at the player. They can be easily dodged, but if you are close to her, they can deal lots of damage, putting you and your team in danger.

When you are close to killing the Stunning Beauty, she quickly ducks and becomes immune while summoning a silver sphere with a blue eye that deals damage if you stay in its line of sight for too long. Shooting at the Stunning Beauty will do nothing while the robotic eye is still up, so you must focus your damage on him until it disappears and she dies.
