Of course, Void Intercept Battles are some of the most difficult challenges, as players need to fight against large bosses to win. Therefore, in this guide, we will tell you how to beat the Dead Bride boss in The First Descendant.
She is one of the first bosses you will encounter in the Void Intercept Battles missions. However, don't think that means the battle will be easy, especially if you do not prepare in advance.

How to Beat Dead Bride in The First Descendant
As with other enemies in The First Descendant, you just need to use the right elemental attacks and hit Dead Bride's weak points to beat her. Although this sounds simple and obvious, it will in fact take you several attempts to take care of this boss.
Dead Bride Resistances
First and foremost, she uses Chill Attribute for all her attacks, so you need to increase your resistance to this element. Additionally, Dead Bride is weak to Fire damage, so Lepic or Blair would be a good character choice for the fight. Alternatively, players can use Fire damage modules for their weapons. As for the other attributes, Electric attacks will deal normal damage, while Ice and Poison attacks will be the least effective against Dead Bride in The First Descendant.
Dead Bride Weak Points
Now that you know what to attack with, you need to know where exactly to aim. Luckily, Dead Bride is truly a colossal boss in The First Descendant, and there are quite a few burst-type weak points on her body:
- Core Cover (Destructible) - Chest
- Core (Removable) - Chest
- Shoulder (Removable) - Arms
- Blaster (Destructible while in Frenzy) - Arms
- Sensor (Destructible) - Head
- Balancer (Destructible) - Knees
By attacking each of these weak points, you can deal massive damage to Dead Bride and eventually defeat her in The First Descendant. Blaster deserves special attention since its destruction will save you from the boss' annoying Rage mode.
She enters this mode when the purple bar under her HP is filled. In Rage mode, Dead Bride can teleport and use special attacks. In addition, while in Rage state, she is completely immune to all attacks, except for her Blaster, so you should target that.
Dead Bride Attacks, Expanded
- Red Floor - At various places on the map, the floor will turn red and deal damage to players on contact, especially if they stand on it for a while. To avoid this, you just need to look at your feet from time to time.
- Ice Shards - Dead Bride will start shooting ice shards at one target, after which she will use an AoE attack around itself. We recommend that you constantly move to dodge these attacks in The First Descendant.
- Blaster - A regular ranged boss attack that can be easily dodged. However, in Rage mode, energy blasts are replaced with lasers.
- Missiles - A more dangerous kind of projectile fired by the boss that is still fairly easy to dodge.
- Kingfishers - From time to time, the boss will spawn Kingfishers on the map. Although they don't pose as much of a threat as other attacks, if you ignore them, they can kill you pretty quickly. Therefore, players should target and destroy them as soon as they appear. In addition, they drop consumables, such as HP and ammo, which will help you stay in the fight longer.
- Ice Dome - While in Rage mode, Dead Bride will create a large ice dome, which deals massive damage to all players inside of it. If you see that the boss has started this attack, use all means to get away from her.
