11 Grandis Molis is a major boss in Alabaster Dawn and the third major boss of the Early Access build. It is a giant, hair-covered mole-class Nuemera (a Nyx-corrupted molerat) and serves as the guardian of the Sundalan Nest. It is fought during Chapter 2 at the Impact Site in the Aurum Plains, on the route to Sundalan. The fight is a multi-phase endurance test built around the boss burrowing underground and erupting with wide rock-and-grass attacks.

66 Phase 1

88 The boss dives underground and resurfaces with swiping attacks. It throws spinning projectiles that return like a boomerang, which can be parried, and it periodically protects itself with a barrier. Punish the moments immediately after it surfaces from a dive.

1212 Grandis Molis gains an "Ultra Spin" move, surrounding itself with both rocks and giant grass at the same time while it charges across the arena. The earlier dive-and-swipe and returning-projectile attacks continue. Clear the giant grass it spawns so it does not block your movement during the charge.

1616 The final phase increases attack frequency. The boss chains additional ground-burst sequences and adds extra underground-pursuit components onto its swipe attacks before finishing its combinations, leaving smaller safe windows. Keep healing items in reserve and prioritize parrying the telegraphed wind-ups to force stagger openings. At the Aurum Plains encounter, once the boss is worn down to a sliver of HP, the fight ends with a cinematic finisher.

2020 Bring a ranged option for the windows when the boss is burrowed or mid-charge, and a melee weapon for the post-dive punish.Parry the returning spinning projectiles to build break meter pressure.Use the Divine Chakram or a sword to cut the giant grass it raises so it cannot wall you in during the Ultra Spin.Stock Healing Bulbs and a buff dish from Cooking before entering, since Phase 3 leaves little room to recover.Lean on Slashing weapons for stagger pressure; the boss resists Blunt, so a Hammer is a poor primary here.
