Caliligos Introduction
Caliligos is the third Raid Level 6 Guardian. You need to be at least Item Level 1490 to enter this Guardian Raid. This Guardian drops Tier 3 Relic Accessories, Ability Stones, Bracelets and Upgrade Materials as well as rare drops including Engraving Books, Galewind and Caliligos. The recommended Combat Items are: HP Potion, Pheromone Bomb, Destruction Bomb, Whirlwind Grenade and Flare.
This Guardian Raid has 3 phases. Battle items are required to phase the boss. Each phase will give Caliligos new empowered attacks and unique phases. To transition to the next phase, players will need to perform a series of actions when he reaches certain HP thresholds.
This is an altered version of previously encountered fights like Calventus. This time he's charged and ready to fight. Just like Calventus, He's extremely mobile and annoying. Be careful of it's AoE attacks, it can be shocking when it hits!
This Guardian guide assumes you know the basics of a Guardian Raid. Check out the General Raid Guide to learn more.

Counterable: Frontal Charge
Counter attack is possible during the charge attack pattern. At the start of this attack animation, the Guardian glows blue. The player has a short window to cast a skill with a Counter Attack affix while standing in front of the Guardian. If you manage to pull this off fast enough, the Guardian's attack will be interrupted and staggered for a few seconds. This gives you and your team a short window to use buffs and deal additional damage.
Caliligos will shake his body side to side turning towards a player a becomes blue. Failure to Counter will result in a dash forward. In Phase 2 he will also spawn thunderbolts around him.
Counterable: Body Raise
Caliligos raises his body and flaps wings before firing an explosion. You can counter to cancel it.
Retaliation
This will only occur in Phase 2 and 3. Caliligos will summon a barrier around him. Stand inside and don't attack.
Phase Transition
After enough damage, you will need to perform a series of patterns to phase the boss. Stagger > Counter > Destruction > Orbs
Caliligos will raise his right arm and start charging. A stagger bar will appear so neutralize him and be ready for the Counter right after.
Counter
After the Stagger you'll have a brief second to Counter the Boss.
Destruction
After the Counter, destroy his horns with Part Destruction skills or Destruction Bomb.
Orbs
Players need to spread out and destroy 5 orbs coming into Caliligos from all cardinal directions. Destroying more than 5 will result in bleed damage which can kill you. If any orbs reach the boss, it will cause Caliligos to perform a large AoE damage attack and remove your collected stacks.
Yellow Glowing Orbs: Will grant a Cooldown and Damage buff for 30 seconds, try to kill them together in melee range (5x stack).
Blue Defense Orb: If you kill it before destroying the Yellow Orbs, you will not receive the buff.
During this phase, the boss will apply lightning stacks, upon reaching 5x the player will be stunned for a few seconds. Around the boss, there will be blue orbs, destroy them to cleanse the stacks and grant immunity to shock for a brief period. (Try to do it at 4x stacks).

Phase 3: Yellow Lightning/White Orb
Similar to the Phase 2 lightning, upon reaching 3x you will be stunned for a few seconds. Caliligos will spawn a white orb periodically. If you don't destroy it within 10 seconds, it will cause a raid wipe.
In the final phase of the boss ~20% HP, a player will be marked with a curse, taking bleed damage. The only way to lift the curse is to destroy the designated orb on the mini-map (similar to Levano's mini tree).
