11 Corvus is the Nushi of the Drowned Region, a huge bird that spends most of the fight in the air and coats the arena in acid. Both encounters happen in Chapter 7 at the Giant Tree Zone, at level 38 and then level 41, and it is weak to Lightning throughout. Clearing it unlocks the Corvus's End achievement.

1212 How to Beat Corvus

1414 The problem with Corvus is uptime, not damage. It stays airborne for long stretches, so the Zangetsu Bow and Spring Thunder Crossbow do more work here than in any earlier Nushi fight, and Lightning Arrows and Lightning Bolts double as weakness damage and shock buildup. On the ground, the Thunderwave Sword is the natural pick.

1616 Koo's job is to bring it down. Restrain buildup grounds the boss and opens a punish window, and Sakura: Javelin covers the range gap because it deals Lightning damage and reaches across the arena. Between attempts, use the platforms: high ground keeps Emma out of the acid pools and shortens the distance to the boss when it hovers.

1818 Aim rather than spraying ammunition, since resupply matters more in the second fight.Acid on the ground applies damage over time, so reposition rather than fighting through it.Save arrows and bolts for the second phase of the rematch and lean on melee and Koo in the first.
