Nightmare of Catarina without being affected by Lich's Beam

The Nightmare of Catarina is a challenging encounter in Path of Exile where you face Catarina, leader of the Syndicate, in her transformed state. Avoiding her devastating Lich's Beam attack is crucial for success. Here are some strategies to defeat Nightmare Catarina without being hit by Lich's Beam:

Understanding Lich's Beam:

• Cast Time: Lich's Beam has a noticeable windup animation where Catarina raises her staff.
• Mechanics: After the windup, Catarina fires a beam that deals high physical damage and can inflict various elemental ailments.
• Indicators: Look for a red beam telegraph on the ground indicating the beam's path.

Strategies to Avoid Lich's Beam:

• Movement Skills: Having a reliable movement skill like Flicker Strike, Leap Slam, or Shield Charge allows you to quickly dodge the beam once you see the windup animation.
• Phase Retreat: Catarina teleports to the center of the arena periodically before casting Lich's Beam. Use this moment to pre-emptively move away from the center to avoid the beam when it fires.
• Totem Placement (Summoner Builds): If you're using a Summoner build, strategically place your totems on the fringes of the arena to act as meat shields and potentially block the beam.

Additional Tips:

• Damage Output: Focus on maximizing your damage output to defeat Catarina quickly, reducing the number of times she casts Lich's Beam.
• Elemental Resistances: Ensure you have high physical and elemental resistances to mitigate damage if you do get caught by the beam.
• Pantheon Power: Consider using the Pantheon power "Soul of Arakaali" which grants a chance to dodge spell attacks.

Alternative Strategies (League Dependent):

• Certain Mechanics in Past Leagues: Some past league mechanics offered unique ways to cheese specific boss encounters. However, their effectiveness depends entirely on the current league you're playing. Consult Path of Exile forums or online resources for the current league to see if there are any temporary mechanics that can be exploited against Catarina.

Practice Makes Perfect:

The Nightmare of Catarina can be a challenging fight. Practice the encounter at lower difficulty levels to learn her attack patterns and perfect your dodging strategy before attempting it on higher difficulties.

By using a combination of these strategies and adapting your approach based on your character build, you should be able to overcome the Nightmare of Catarina and avoid her Lich's Beam. Good luck!

• Map Location: Ziggurat is a designated map area players can explore by using a Ziggurat Map in their personal Map Device.
• Tier 17 Difficulty: This map falls under Tier 17, signifying a significant challenge geared towards well-equipped characters.
• Boss Encounter: Brace yourself for the Nightmare of Catarina! This formidable foe is an enhanced version of Catarina, Master of Undeath, a familiar face from Legion content.

An Especially Grueling Battle:

• Minion Mayhem: The Nightmare of Catarina retains her ability to summon undead minions, but these might be significantly stronger in this uber version.
• Potential Miniboss Spawns: The fight can get even more intense, as Catarina has a chance to summon minibosses based on Amanamu, Ulaman, and Kurgal from the Legion encounter. Be prepared for a multi-front battle!

Potential Rewards of Conquering the Ziggurat:

• Character Strength: This map is designed for well-geared and powerful characters. Only attempt it with a build that can handle the high damage output, challenging mechanics, and potential onslaught of minions and minibosses.
• Map Modifiers: Be mindful of the additional modifiers rolled on the map itself, as they can significantly increase the difficulty. Research these modifiers and adjust your strategy accordingly.
• Boss Fight Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with Catarina's attack patterns and mechanics from Legion content. The Nightmare version might have additional surprises in store.

Overall:
