Conquering the Lifer in Wuthering Waves 2.0

Wuthering Waves version 2.0 introduces the challenging Lifer, a unique Tacet Discord found within the Rinascita region's Oakheart Highcourt maze. This guide details how to overcome this formidable foe.

Locating the Lifer

The Lifer resides in Oakheart Highcourt's maze center, beneath a giant tree. An accessible entrance is located southwest, near the Resonance Beacon. Players can climb or use the Flight function to reach it.

The Lifer's Board Game

Inside, you'll find the Lifer and a six-piece board game. Control the black pieces to connect three in a row before the Lifer (white pieces) does. Placing a black piece on the outer circle opens maze walls in that direction. Exiting preserves piece positions. While not mandatory for combat, the board game is crucial for buff removal. Avoid winning before debuffing the Lifer.

Removing the Lifer's Buffs

The Lifer possesses seven buffs; four are removable using Stakes of Imbalance, while three are permanent. Examine the yellow module behind the Lifer to see its buffs.

Removable Buffs (Fragility):

• Growing Loneliness: 10% Max HP recovery per second after 2+ seconds without attack.
• Desire for Escape: 25% ATK increase; additional 25% DMG increase every 20 seconds.
• Impending Stalemate: 20% ATK increase per DMG instance (stacks to 4); stacks reset after 6 seconds without DMG.
• Decay of Time: 200% resistance to all element types (Glacio, Fusion, Electro, Aero, Spectro, Havoc); 25% Max HP increase.

Permanent Buffs (Stability):

• Chains of Confinement: Interruption immunity above 50% HP.
• Endless Game: 50% reduced Immobilization duration.
• Divine Garden: Repels and damages nearby enemies after taking >25% Max HP in a single hit.

Use the Sensor near the Lifer to locate four purple lines leading to Stakes of Imbalance in outer maze rooms. Manipulate the board game to open the gates to these rooms. Each room contains a winged statue and a Stake of Imbalance (white glow). One room requires Tacet Discord defeat, another Friable Rock destruction, and one is simply on a table. Place each Stake in the corresponding module to remove a buff (purple lines turn yellow).

Defeating the Lifer

After removing all four removable buffs, engage the Lifer (via board game victory or "Fight it out!"). The debuffed Lifer is significantly weaker. Its attacks pose minimal threat.

Rewards for defeating the Lifer:

• First Victory: Premium Supply Chest
• Second Victory: Premium Supply Chest + 3 Basic Supply Chests
• Third Victory: Advanced Supply Chest + 3 Standard Supply Chests

Re-enable buffs via the modules for a greater challenge (no achievement for this).

Lifer Achievements

• The Lifer's Salvation: Defeat the Lifer.
• The Ring of The Lifer: Obtain all nine chests (defeat three times).
• Limit of Intelligence: Win the board game against the Lifer.
• Alpha Go: Lose the board game against the Lifer 10 times.

For the board game, focus on preventing the Lifer from creating lines. It will eventually make mistakes.
