• Quick Answer: Lithus can’t be damaged normally; you must use Axiom Force to pull the cube from his head, then attack his scattered form during a short vulnerability window.

Lithus, the Cubewalker is a distinctive boss encountered while liberating the Southern Quarry in the Grace Estate, and the fight immediately stands out because it does not follow the usual damage-focused approach.

Instead of gradually draining his health through attacks, the fight revolves around a key mechanic involving the glowing cube set in his head.

This means your success depends more on how well you handle the mechanic than how hard you attack.

Players who ignore this will find the battle unnecessarily long and difficult, while those who adapt to the intended strategy can control the fight much more efficiently.

How Do You Actually Damage Lithus?

Your objective is to rely on Axiom Force to handle the cube; once Lithus is exposed, trigger it, target the glowing cube on his head, and extract it with a pull.

Once the cube is removed, Lithus loses his structure and collapses into scattered fragments across the ground.

This is the most important damage window in the fight, as his defenses are effectively gone, allowing you to freely attack his broken pieces.

During this phase, focusing on clusters of his body and using heavy attacks or strong finishers is the best way to maximize your damage output before he reforms.

Since this mechanic is key to the fight, timing is crucial, as trying to grab the cube during Lithus’s attacks is risky and often results in taking heavy damage.

The safest opportunities come right after he completes an attack sequence or when he briefly turns or moves away, as these moments give you enough time to execute the pull without interruption.

Outside of these openings, your priority should be survival, maintaining distance, reading his movements, and preparing for the next chance to interact with the cube.

How Should You Handle His Attacks?

Although Lithus attacks slowly, each strike is powerful and covers a large area, making positioning crucial, so moving around the arena and using rocks as cover is more effective than staying close.

Environmental elements can ease the pressure while you wait for an opening, but success still comes down to well-timed dodges and not overcommitting, since a single hit can quickly drain your health.

The fight naturally settles into a rhythm where you avoid his attacks, wait for an opening, pull the cube with Axiom Force, deal as much damage as you can while he’s broken apart, then reposition as he reforms.

Maintaining this cycle is the most reliable way to win, as it minimizes unnecessary risks and ensures consistent progress throughout the encounter.

After defeating Lithus, you earn valuable rewards such as a rune-engraved two-handed weapon and rare materials, while also making meaningful progress in freeing the Southern Quarry.

However, the task does not end with the boss fight. You will still need to clear out remaining enemies in the area, particularly groups of bandits scattered throughout the quarry.

There are also structures such as an infirmary, barracks, and training grounds that can be destroyed, although these contribute less to overall progress.

The good news is your liberation progress is saved even if you’re defeated, so you can keep working toward the objective without losing progress.
