Avoid Using Anemo / Cryo Moves

Andrius - Cryo Attack Pattern
Cryo Tale Swipe
Andrius will release Cryo energy freezing the floor around him that deals constant Cryo damage afterwards he will swipe the area with its tail dealing a significant amount of damage. Walk away from the boss to dodge and move closer to deal damage .
Cryo Tackle
Andrius will run towards you dealing damage and leaving the floor frozen for a few seconds. To dodge, sprint the last second to the side.
Jump Attack
The floor below your character will be frozen, afterwards Andrius will jump towards that location. Once the floor starts freezing, run away from that area to dodge the attack.
Claw Attack
The boss will use its claw to attack everything in front of it. While the damage it gives is not significant, it inflict cryo element to the character. To dodge, move away or sprint to the back of the boss.
Sprint Attack
The boss will run around the field and will try to tackle you multiple times. During this time, damaging the boss is near impossible so focus on dodging.
To dodge, sprint towards from the direction of his attack the second the boss is close to you. Sprinting will give you a second of invincibility so you will not take damage. This will end in jump attack so dodge it the same way you dodge Andrius's Jump attack.
Andrius - Anemo Attack Pattern
Once you decrease the boss' Health to 50% and below, he will change into his Anemo phase wherein most of his attack will be mixed with Anemo element. His attack pattern is similar to the previous phase but faster and more frequent.
Ice Claw
The boss will freeze the floor in front of him and will launch an series of ice spikes on that path with its claws. To dodge, move away from the frozen floor.
Icicle Rain
Upon changing to Anemo Phase, the boss can summon Icicles that deals damage. Before it falls, the ground wherein it will hit will be frozen so move away that area to dodge.
Wolf Familiar
The boss will summon several wolves jumping towards you dealing small cryo damage. The damage is small so it is better to just focus on damaging the boss but take note that this attack inflict cryo status.
