Once infused, \*\*Geovishaps \*\*will gain resistance to that element (30%). **Taunt** abilities are particularly effective here to give some time for you to recover stamina. Attempting to dodge every attack will quickly drain your stamina. Focus on dodging both hits of the **Double Slam** attack, as this does the most damage.

The best bet is to attempt to group all the enemies together, and focus your AoE on the **Abyss Lector**. The **Abyss Mages** should go down during this time. If you run towards the **Pyro Abyss Mage** at the start, you can often get the **Hydro Abyss Mage** to teleport next to it, grouping them.
