With Azeos, Omoroth, and Ra-Akar dead inCore Keeper, and their souls imparted to you, it’s time to move forward to the next creatures that live within The Core. In each of the middle biomes, a particular Titan that embodies the land digs beneath it, and each holds another soul you need.

Druidra embodies the fury of Azeos' Wilderness while Crydra embodies the icy depths of the Sunken Sea, and both of them must be defeated if you wish to take on the strongest Elemental Titan, Pyrdra. They won’t go down without a fight, and you’d best be prepared before calling them to you.

How To Prepare For Druidra And Crydra

Both Druidra and Crydra aresimilar in power to the Atlantean Worm, but unlike it, youdon’t need any vehicles to fight them, as both are intended to befought on land​​, even though Crydra roams the Sunken Sea.

Like other bosses, you’ll want to have adecent number of potionswith you, around15 to 20 between the two bosses, depending on difficulty, as theboss can do some powerful attacksthat willstick to your location.

Regular Healing Potions can work, but preferably, you should haveGreater Healing Potions, which are made fromthree Poison Slime and five Heartberries​​​​​​at a Laboratory Table.

Make sure touse the Repair Table to Reinforce all your armor and weapons, as this doubles the durability and gives them a slight buffto their damage​​​​.

You’ll also want adecent supply of foodwith you that’s been made frommid-to-late-game crops and fish, such as Pinegrapples,Bloat Oats, Golden Darts,Dark Lava Eaters, orSunrice.

Anything from theSunken Sea, Shimmering Frontier, andMolten Quarry sub-biome, or the Desert of Beginnings, will give you thebest food restorationandhealth-over-time regenerationfor this point in the game.

Recommendations For Melee Characters

Like withother bosses at this stagein the game,Galaxite and Solarite armorare the best options for defense while beingeasily obtainable.

Alternate sets likeOmoroth’s Armor Set,Godsent King Set, Magma Set, andHazmat Set outperform themin terms ofdamage bonuses, but requiremore exploration or farming bosses to find.

Earlier-obtained armor sets like the Hivebone Armor can also work, but you’ll need to use an Upgrade Workbench to upgrade them several levels, which costs a lot of resources and Ancient Coins, but can still be worth it.

For weapons, you’re back to havinga lot more viable optionssince there areno terrain challenges. Anything will work well for both Druidra and Crydra, though theAnchor Axe and Crystal Shard Club are standoutsfor raw damage.

Recommendations For Ranged Characters

If you’re doing Ranged Damage, you’ve gotseveral optionsfor armor. If you don’t mind not having armor, theTassel Setwill stillgive you high damage, but you could alsouse the Godsent King Set,Cosmos Armorfor great defense and adamage boost that applies to all damage types, or evenOmoroth’s Armor Set.

TheScarab Armor can be used in combination with Thorns-giving accessories to get good offense and defense, but you need to have the three-piece set bonusto have the Thorns Damage added to your Ranged Damage.

Due to the wide open spaces you’ll be fighting these two bosses in, the Galaxite Chakram isn’t as good as usual since you likely won’t have many walls it can bounce off of, but it’s still useful. TheSolarite Bow,Bubble Gun, orthe Phantom Spark, if you don’t mind exploring, arebetter choices this time.

Recommendations For Magic Characters

Since you’llneed access to the Shimmering Frontierto be able to fight these bosses,one of the best setsfor this point in the game is theArcane Monk Set, which drops fromall the enemies and breakables in the Shimmering Frontier, as well as theAlien Tech Lab scenesthat spawn within.

If you stillhave some older sets, like the Scholar Set and Lilypad Set, you can also use the Upgrade Workbench to upgrade them to be mostly on par with late-game setslike the Arcane Monk one.

For weapons, theScholar Staff and Zealot’s Scimitarstill stand out for theirdamage and availability, but if you’ve alreadyfound The Passage biome, Pandorium Ore, and aRift Statue, you can alsocraft the Chaos Staff for better damage.

Recommendations For Summoner Characters

TheGrim Set, found bybreaking breakables, openingSmoldering Chests, or killing enemies orIgneous the Molten Massin theMolten Quarry sub-biome, is still thebest set for Minion Damage and Minion Countfor this point in the game.

Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, offers an improved minion-related armor set, but she’s an end-game boss intended to be fought after the elemental Titansand requires much more preparation to defeat.

Since there’s no water to deal with as well, any type of Summon will work well for this fight, but thestandouts for damage and availability, whether you’ve upgraded them or not, are theTome of the DeadandTome of the Deep.

How To Beat Druidra The Wild Titan

Druidra is theeasiest of the three Elemental Titansand introduces you to themain mechanic of their fights. Each Titan starts with ayellow Shield Barthat protects it, and you need to dodamage to this bar until it’s gone, which thenstuns the bossand allows you todamage it.

While it isn’t stunned,Druidra will circle the areait was summoned in, andalternate between a handful of attacks:

Work toget down that Shield Bar as quickly as possibleeach time it comes up from the ground, and if itdoes the beam attack, you can continuouslycircle it while it’s still chargingup to full power andcontinuedamaging it, or you canuse an Off-Handlike Azeos' Feather tododge far enough awayor aShield to block most of the damage.

WhenDruidra does its windstormand starts pulling you in, use anOff-Hand item to dodge out of the rangeof its pull, or you canuse one of the fallen blocks to hide behind, and avoid the damage wave after.

Therange of the wave covers the entire area of the storm that Druidra summons, so as long as you aren’t inside that radius, you won’t get hit.

If itsummons the thorns and Nature Worm, focus on andget rid of the worm firstso it doesn’t cause any issues, and thethorns will despawnon their own as soon as they’re dead.

Due to thestunned phase being temporary, you’ll need todeplete the Shield Bar a minimum of four timesto kill Druidra regardless of your damage output, as thedamage to its actual health iscapped at around 25 percent,and it’ll automaticallyregenerate its shield once that limit is hit.

Overall, themost dangerous attacksare theirlaser and the vacuum wave, but as long as you utilize the fallen blocks or an Off-Hand, you can minimize a lot of the damage they do.

Once Druidra is dead, you’ll berewarded with Druidra’s Soul, and a chest will spawn,guaranteed to give you three Pink Hydra Eyesandtwo Jungle Emeralds, and then thechance for dropssuch as theHydra Bone Shins, Hydra Tooth,Druidra’s Ring, and other Azeos' Wilderness loot.

How To Beat Crydra The Ice Titan

Crydra fights very similarly to Druidra and is thesecond strongest of the Elemental Titans, only behind Pydra in terms of power and abilities. It has the same mechanic ofhaving a Shield Baryou need to damage first, andupon being depleted, it causes Crydra to bestunned for several seconds, allowing you to damage its Health Bar.

They alsoshare several attacks: the small AOE slam, quick bite,player-tracking laser beam, and thevacuum wave that causes blocks to dropand will charge briefly beforesending out a blast. Crydra introducesa new attackand anew mechanicfor its fight:

Because of the secondary Crydra in the fight, anOff-Handthat eitherallows you to teleport or dodgelike Azeos' Dash Feather, or aShield that blocks incoming damage, such as theScorching Aegis or Octarine Shield,is pretty muchmandatory unlessyou’re going torely on high movement speed or high dodge.

Take thisfight the same way as you did Druidra, but this time you’ll need towatch for the clone’s attacksthe entire fight, but you’llultimately need to focus on Crydra only.

If yousee Crydra summon the Ice Crystalsomewhere, you need totake it out immediately, as getting caught in it canchew through even late-game armor, especially if you get hit by a main attack at the same time.

Whenever either of them does the laser,attempt to line the lasers' paths up so you don’t need to split your attention between both of them and can dodge bothat once.

Fortunately, theclone doesn’t summon the Ice Crystal, so all it does is the laser beam and the vacuum wave, and theycannot use the vacuum wave at the same time, so you have achance to take cover from it, no matter who uses it.

Like with Druidra, you’ll need aminimum of four phasesto beat the Crydra, as thedamage done while it’s stunnedis capped at around 25 percent, no matter your damage output.

Once Crydra is defeated, the clone will disappear, and you’llreceive Crydra’s Soulas a reward, along with aguaranteed drop of three White Hydra Eyesandtwo Ocean Sapphire, as well as the chance to get theHydra Bone Shield,Hydra Bone Breastplate, Crydra’s Ring, and some regular Sunken Sea loot.
