Conquer the Lifer in Wuthering Waves: A Comprehensive Guide

Wuthering Waves version 2.0 introduces the challenging Lifer, a unique Tacet Discord found in the Rinascita region's Oakheart Highcourt maze. This guide details how to defeat this formidable foe.

Locating the Lifer

The Lifer resides at the maze's heart, beneath a giant tree's roots. An accessible entrance is located southwest of Oakheart Highcourt, near the Resonance Beacon. Players can climb or use the Flight function to reach it.

The Lifer Board Game

A board game featuring six pieces (black for the player, white for the Lifer) sits beside the Lifer. Placing a black piece on the outer circle opens corresponding maze walls and gates. Winning isn't necessary to fight the Lifer, but it's crucial for buff removal.

Removing the Lifer's Buffs

The Lifer possesses seven buffs; four are removable using Stakes of Imbalance, while three are permanent. A glowing yellow module behind the Lifer displays these buffs.

Removable Buffs (using Stakes of Imbalance):

• Growing Loneliness: HP recovery after 2 seconds of inactivity.
• Desire for Escape: Increased ATK and DMG over time.
• Impending Stalemate: ATK increase stacking with each DMG instance.
• Decay of Time: Significant elemental resistance and increased Max HP.

Permanent Buffs:

• Chains of Confinement: Interruption immunity above 50% HP.
• Endless Game: Reduced Immobilization duration.
• Divine Garden: Repels and damages nearby enemies after taking substantial DMG.

Obtaining Stakes of Imbalance:

Use the Sensor near the Lifer to reveal four purple lines leading to outer maze rooms. Manipulate the board game to open the gates. Each room contains a Stake of Imbalance (marked by a white glow), often requiring minor challenges (defeating Tacet Discords, breaking rocks). Place each Stake in the module near the corresponding winged statue to remove a buff; the line will turn yellow upon success.

Defeating the Lifer

With the removable buffs gone, the Lifer becomes significantly weaker. Engage via the board game or by selecting "Fight it out!". Victory yields Premium and Basic/Standard/Advanced Supply Chests (rewards vary based on the number of victories). Buffs can be re-enabled for a more challenging fight, though no achievements are tied to this.

Achievements:

• The Lifer's Salvation: Defeat the Lifer.
• The Ring of The Lifer: Obtain all nine chests (three victories).
• Limit of Intelligence: Win the board game.
• Alpha Go: Lose the board game 10 times.

For the board game, focus on blocking the Lifer's moves; it will eventually make a mistake.
