Behavior

Awakening Phase
Upon being awakened, Polaris circles around the boss room. It does not fire any bullets, and it heals Frimar and Glacius for 100 HP . After a certain amount of damage, it fires rings of weakening bullets. If more damage is dealt, it will fully awaken and move on to the next phase. Polaris cannot be stasised until it is fully woken.

Battle Phase
Polaris stops firing the rings of weakening bullets and begins firing its other projectiles. It still continues to heal Frimar and Glacius for 100 HP. As more damage is dealt to Polaris, it fires more and more of her different attacks.

Occasionally Polaris will flash and start hugging one of the other tomb bosses, or one of the other tomb bosses will flash and start hugging Polaris.

At a certain amount of damage, Polaris starts spawning Ice Artifacts. When its health is low enough, it moves into its rage phase.

Rage Phase
Polaris will chase nearby players when it is in rage phase. If there is nobody in its detection range then it will remain stationary. It starts firing a rotating swath of blue paralyzing bullets along with its other projectiles.

Tips and Strategies

At the beginning of its rage phase, it will always shoot her non-directed blue paralyzing bullets towards the east (right, if angled at 0°), so that side is best avoided when it is nearly about to rage.

If you get paralyzed while it is in rage mode, you are done for unless you manage to kill it, stun it, use Holy Water or Purification tome, or just spam your health potions.
