The Fight: Overview and Phases

Jamanra, The Abomination, is encountered by you at the end of the Dreadnought Vanguard after you progress through The Trail of Corruption Part 2. The fight breaks into two distinct phases, both with a combined health pool of about 140,000 (can get to 700,000 in the Cruel difficulty). Phase 1 takes place on the Dreadnought, which is like an arena, but highly confined. Phase 2 on the contrary, shifts into a desert setting. It also adds new mechanics. Sekhema Asala helps you out in Phase 1, but is absent during Phase 2.

Phase 1: Dreadnought Arena

In the first phase, Jamanra uses a combo of many lightning and physical attacks. The arena’s tight spaces compliment and amplify this challenge even further. Some of the most common, yet dangerous attacks are:

• Lightning: A quick strike in front of Jamanra, dealing moderate damage. Dodge by circling behind him or staying close to bait this safer attack.
• Roaming Pillars: Jamanra hurls pillars, hitting three times for mixed physical and lightning damage. Dodge rolls to the side when his arm thrusts forward. This is harder to avoid at range, so melee positioning is safer.
• Sandstorm: Jamanra channels a 15 second sandstorm dealing increasing damage. Stand behind Asala’s shield, signaled by her raised torch, to avoid taking damage. Get rid of undead minions that spawn during this period.

Strategy

Your best bet is to stay close to Jamanra to minimise the damage you take by roaming pillar throws. This also helps you simply dodge, instead of manoeuvre. Save at least three life flasks charges for the next phase. The fight’s length requires you to be stacked up on resources. Use cold damage to exploit his weaknesses. Clear his minions quickly during the sandstorm to avoid explosions happening after the storm.

To speed up your game and make your performance even better, you should try getting resources to upgrade your gear and skills. You can easily buy POE 2 Currency to get orbs for crafting or trading for gear which resists lightning- making sure you’re well equipped for this fight.

Phase 2: Desert Arena

At about half health, Jamanra destroys the Dreadnought, transitioning to a desert arena with a larger but more chaotic battlefield. Asala is knocked unconscious, leaving you to fight alone. New attacks replace most of Phase 1’s, except for stationary lightning pylons that apply a shocked debuff. Key attacks include:

• Tornadoes: Four tornadoes spawn and wander the arena, dealing damage over time and slowing you. Avoid them by moving circularly and staying aware of their paths.
• Unblockable Horizontal Slash: Jamanra prepares a halbred and slashes it. This triggers an AoE explosion followed by a shockwave. You should dodge roll behind him or keep distance to avoid.
• Projectile Gates: Massive gates shoot daggers when Jamanra is low on health. Avoid standing in their streams.

Strategy

Mobility is key in Phase 2 due to tornadoes and overlapping mechanics. Focus on Jamanra’s animations to anticipate sword or cleave attacks, which deal significant damage. Keep moving and dodge rolling to avoid spear rain and shard strikes. Ranged builds can work effectively, while melee builds should stick close to exploit Jamanra’s weak melee attacks, dodging only his vertical slam (signaled by “Our gift to you!” or “Take our hate!”). Preserve flasks for the final 25% of health, where the attack density increases.

Tips for Success

Practice Positioning: Multiple attempts help you learn Jamanra’s attacks, style, and safe zones. Record your fights to analyse your mistakes.

Build Efficiency: Optimize your passive tree for life regen, cold damage, or stun resistance. Respec your skills with the Hooded One if needed- it is costly though.

Flask Management: Save flasks for Phase 2’s intense final quarter. Use buffs to reduce Jamanra’s defenses.

Class Specific Tips:

• Monk: Use Tempest Bell or Storm Wave for burst damage and mobility.
• Witch: Employ minions as bait and Bonestorm for safe ranged damage.
• Mercenary: Focus on single-target DPS and dodge rolls to counter low damage output.

Hardcore Mode: Prioritize lightning resistance and stun immunity. Use freeze skills to create attack windows.

Conclusion

Jamanra, The Abomination, is a strong test of your skills in Path of Exile 2. With the proper preparation and strategy, you can easily overcome the boss. Make sure you stack up on lightning resistance, gear, and you exploit his weakness to cold. With one of the most important things being recognising the attack patterns in both the phases. Make sure you have good movement, and leverage Asala in Phase 1. Victory in this battle gets you to Act 3, and gives you a lot of great, valuable loot so you can enhance your gear.
