Jon has 3 Phases. He stays inactive until he takes damage (even from a pet!):

Phase 1:
Birds spawn from four birdcages and circle them, occasionally attacking the player. The boss chases players and occasionally says "Dodge this!" or "Check out AWESOME CANNON CLUSTER!", after which he fires a 3 bursts of cannonball shots that do massive damage. His other attack is to stop and alternatively fire a 'gold coin' that inflicts confuse and a cannonball.
Phase 2:
Once the boss has taken enough damage, he says "Now you're making me angry! PARROT BARRIER ACTIVATE!" The boss heads to the center of the arena, while the evil water at the perimeter of the room begins to flood the outer edge of the arena. All the birds swarm the boss and protect him. He is invulnerable while the parrots are protecting him and is stun immune. After all parrots are killed, Bilgewater will move to Phase 3. If all parrots are not killed quickly enough, Bilgewater will return to Phase 1.
Phase 3:
A large parrot will spawn and chase players while the other parrots swarm around Bilgewater. While the large parrot is alive, Bilgewater is invulnerable and will not take damage. Once the large parrot is killed, the parrots will disperse and the boss will say "YOU'LL PAY FOR KILLING MY PARROTS!" followed by "CANNON BARRAGE!" The boss remains stationary and fires 3 radial shotguns of cannonballs. After a short pause, Bilgewater shoots 3 more shotguns of cannonballs. After the second round of shotguns, the birds will swarm the boss again and the phase repeats.

Throughout the fight, the birds will continually heal the boss for large amounts of health. [Back to top](#top)

If you stand right on the bird-cage and take about one tile step to your right, you will be in a spot where cannonballs will not be able to hit you. Next take about one tile step up and note your general area. Do not move side-to-side. Then, when Evil Water holes appear in last phase, make sure you aren’t accidentally taking damage during the whole visual chaos of Parrots, Cannonballs, and projectiles. If you did it right, you should be in a location where neither Cannonballs or Evil Water can touch you (in fact, you should be exactly in front of a small pot-hole of water, still right of the bird-cage) and able to quickly move in for Melee range to attack, then back-off when appropriate just using Up-Down keys. ####Class Specific - Ranged healing classes like the priest and necromancer are also good choices to consider as they can shoot the boss from afar and heal when needed. - Huntresses are also useful here because their traps can AoE paralyze (or slow) pretty much all the parrots during circling, paralyze the boss, and of course, pierce. - Archers and Huntresses wielding a Doom Bow can solo the boss due to its high damage output and its piercing effect, outweighing the heals that the birds provide. - Warriors with max stats can solo the boss on Phase 3 as long as they are cautious of his cannonballs. - Piercing weapons (all bows, all katanas, all tiered wands and bone dagger) are helpful because the parrot mobs have the potential to block a lot of shots. - Classes without piercing weapons may need to approach Bilgewater closely to deal damage (e.g., between first and second shotguns during Phase 3). - During the last phase, Knights should equip Ogmur or be cautious of stun timing. Because Bilgewater is stun immune while the large parrot is dead and parrots are dispersed, but not stun immune (but invulnerable) when the large parrot is alive and parrots are swarming, it is possible for Bilgewater to shoot "stacked delayed shotguns" that do not have a safe area to dodge if Bilgewater is stunned during the large parrot sub-phase and immediately switches to the cannonball sub-phase. You can farm the parrots in the boss room also. The parrots can drop t11 items, so it is worth a look! Just stay away from the boss and target his parrots when he is in his first phase. This should not move him into the second phase. You can do this for an infinite amount of time, as the parrots respawn. Good luck! [Back to top](#top)
