Death Pound - You will see two circles appear in front of Wandering Death before it slams its arms to the ground. As the battle progresses, these pounds will deal more damage and increase in number, including attacking from behind. You will need to move behind it at the beginning of the attack and move to its front at the end of the attack.

Death Shout - This infrequent attack knocks you back and cannot be avoided. The damage is not significant but does increase over time.

Death Tornadoes - Wandering Death will cast tornadoes that damage and slow you. Early in the battle, there may only be two or three active tornadoes. Try to avoid if possible, but if the choice is between taking tornado damage or getting hit with one of its other powerful attacks, take the tornado damage. Towards the end of the battle, there will likely be 6 or more tornadoes on screen at once.

Death Crater - This attack is similar to the Necromancer's Bone Prison. Wandering Death will trap players inside of a walled circle, where they must destroy one of the walls and escape before it explodes.

Death Grasp - Wandering Death will pull the player in with hooks, dealing massive damage. The hooks form underground, visible as green fissures radiating out of Wandering Death. When you see the ground change color underneath you, it's time to run. Don't try to sneak in another attack before bailing. Lower health for Wandering Death will mean more fissures to dodge.

Death Beam - This is Wandering Death's most powerful attack and must be avoided at all costs. Fortunately, Wandering Death will move and rotate slowly while beaming, so dodging the beams just requires a little bit of steadiness and concentration. It will shoot two beams while healthy then add an additional beam as its health depletes.
