Updated Aug 31, 2026 | Fourth major boss — big Gloom payout
🎯 TL;DR: Sir Isaac, the Scholar-Prince is the fourth major boss, found past the Citadel Atrium Beacon. His Gloom reward jumps sharply (roughly 54,000) — worth prioritizing.

1. Location

Found past the Citadel Atrium Beacon. He's the fourth major encounter in the recommended progression.

2. Rewards

💰 Farming note: From here on, boss Gloom payouts get much bigger. These fights are worth pushing through even if they're tough — the leveling payoff is real.

3. How to Beat Him

  1. Come leveled — spend Gloom on your Harbinger before this fight; the difficulty curve steps up here
  2. Upgrade your weapon at the Tarforge (Ventrium/Laterite + Coin)
  3. Parry for Break — Riposte chunks his health and opens a safe window
  4. Dodge red attacks — unblockable, use i-frames
💡 Resolve tip: Keep your Resolve balanced — don't dump it all on skills, or you'll enter his later phase empty-handed.
🎯 Bottom line: Sir Isaac is where the game stops pulling punches — come prepared, and bank that big Gloom payout.
