Walkthrough
Kill the Legendary Destroyer Aestus within the time limit. From 75% health and every 5% onward, Aestus will channel Blazing Shockwave, a powerful attack that rips up the terrain tiles under it, releasing a fast green shockwave that damages and 
knocks down players, and exposing the 
Sulphuric Water underneath which will tick damage players touching it. Break Aestus' defiance bar that unlocks during the channel to interrupt its attack. 
Stability will help prevent the knockdown. It can be helpful to try and kill Ignis around the same time, as once Ignis is defeated, Aestus gains the 
Enraged buff, making it harder to kill.
