After a few tries I finally finished this quest, with 90% health remaining. Video link: https://youtu.be/eB9L5fdlT_A

Before the fight


  2. Select Palegos as your soulbind

  4. Speak to equipment manager to the left and equip the boots

  6. Select your enemy from the mirror

  8. Ring the bell to enter the fighting ground

During the fight


  2. Use [2] to root Kalisthene in place

  4. Use [1] to hit Kalisthene (this is a channelling spell)

  6. Use [3] and run through the right-most image for a invulnerability buff

  8. When rooted by the spear, use [5] on CD; run around the poles to LOS Kalisthene when waiting for CD

  10. Use [4] when safe

  12. When Kalisthene is up in the air, avoid large light golden circles on the ground. You'll need to run out of ~10 of them. Wait for her to land and repeat 1-5

I didn't find this especially easy even with the boots, although that may be because I habitually play melee so am not great at keeping my distance, stopping to cast etc.

Remember to use the stun ability (2) on CD and hit her with the main damage ability (1) when she is stunned.

On the buff ability (3), each split of Pelegos gives a different buff. If you know the floating attack is incoming, use the shield to absorb it all, otherwise I tended to go for the speed buff just to keep at range.

Others may have better suggestions here, good luck!

    I can aid you in crafting many pieces of equipment for your soulbinds. Though they may only equip one at a time, each piece grants a new ability that they may not have without it. This time you must source your own materials from around the Shadowlands.
