Pelted

The first boss in this set of Wildcard challenges is Shadowpelt, found at Whistler’s Maw Auger Mine in the region of Terminus Range. This fight is quite challenging due to its ability to regenerate its shield once damaged. In addition, it can also become invisible. To counter this, keeping Shock Elemental damage handy is the best course of action, as using it will cause the boss to reappear. You can refer to the link below to learn how to beat this boss.
