How to Defeat Imurah in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

Throughout the battle, Imurah has several attacks and phases. We’ll cover each of these attacks and phases in order.

At the start of the fight, Imurah has one dangerous attack where he spawns a hailstorm of projectiles to smash to the ground, hitting everyone in the party. When Imurah rains projectiles on the whole arena, find the closest pillar and hide behind one.

Since the projectiles or bolts will come from Imurah, you need to go behind the pillar, which looks opposite Imurah. Imurah also has a different phase where he would go to the middle of the arena and emit a large blast, covering the whole stage. Again, you’ll just hide behind one of the pillars during this phase to dodge the blast.

In the next phase, Imurah will float in the middle, attacking anyone randomly with a laser projectile. You’ll see some blue and red circles before the attack, so you can dodge these. However, Imurah calls in an army to attack you. The best strategy is to keep fighting the enemies while keeping an eye on Imurah to dodge random attacks. Use executes on these tiny enemies as much as possible so you can completely dodge damage and regain some armor. This phase is eerily similar to the Neurothrope boss fight.

In the last phase, Imurah gets his scythe and starts chasing a person down. If you are playing alone, Imurah will ignore the other two Space Marines (Gadriel and Chairon). Imurah does quick melee attacks varying from normal and heavy attacks. You’ll constantly see blue and red notifications. Seeing as how this attack pattern alternates quickly, it is best to just dodge all the time and ignore parrying or blocking blue notifications (normal attacks).

Imurah also has a death grip, but this doesn’t matter as much when playing alone. You can’t really do anything about it. The attack paralyzes and damages you over time, and you’ll have to rely on your teammates to get some free damage to Imurah. This last phase will rotate around the mentioned attacks until you bring Imurah down.

If you are still having trouble with the fight, you can change to one of the best weapons or whatever better fits your playstyle. SInce Imurah’s last phase is a bit fast-paced, your weapon choice does matter a bit.
