Oshabi, the Avatar of the Grove, is a challenging boss encountered in the Sacred Grove area of Path of Exile. Here's a guide to help you defeat her:

Preparation:

• Elemental Resistances: Oshabi deals significant elemental damage. Ensure you have capped resistances (75% or higher) against Fire, Cold, and Lightning to minimize damage taken.
• Chaos Resistance: Invest in some Chaos Resistance if possible, as Oshabi also inflicts some chaos damage, which bypasses energy shields.
• Flask Management: Utilize flasks effectively. Here are some recommendations:
  • At least one Anti-Bleed Flask: Oshabi can inflict bleeding, so a removal flask like "Stem of Life" or "Coruscating Blood" is crucial.
  • Optional: Debuff Removal Flask: A flask like "Warding Flask" or "Saffel's Frame" can help remove other temporary debuffs she might apply.
• Minions or Decoys: Consider using minion builds or skills that create distractions (like Phantasm) to draw Oshabi's aggro away from you momentarily. This can provide valuable windows to attack or heal.
• Burst Damage: Oshabi has a regeneration mechanic that triggers periodically. Focus on dealing high burst damage to quickly bring her health down during these vulnerable moments.

The Fight:

• Observe Her Attacks: Oshabi uses various attacks, so pay close attention to her tells and animations. Here are some key ones:
  • Tentacle Slams: She slams tentacles from the ground - watch for the visual cues and dodge.
  • Vine Walls: She creates expanding walls of vines - move away quickly to avoid getting trapped and taking damage.
  • Explosive Flowers: She spawns blue flowers that explode - destroy them before detonation.
• Stay Mobile: Don't stand still! Constantly move around the arena to avoid her attacks and area-of-effect damage.
• Focus on Healing: Have sufficient life regeneration or utilize healing flasks to stay healthy throughout the fight.

Additional Tips:

• Damage Over Time (DoT): Oshabi is susceptible to damage over time effects like poison, ignite, or bleed. Consider using skills or items that inflict these effects to wear her down steadily.
• Practice: If you're struggling, don't hesitate to practice the fight. Learn her attack patterns and timing to improve your success rate.
• Check Online Resources: Search online for video guides or build-specific strategies for defeating Oshabi.

By following these tips and preparing adequately, you'll be well on your way to conquering Oshabi and reaping the rewards that await in the Sacred Grove.
