Throne and Liberty’s Hall of Illusion is a challenging part of the game, and one of the toughest fights is against the boss, Lionhead. This guide will help you learn how to defeat Lionhead Throne and Liberty by understanding their moves and using the right strategies.
Lionhead is a new boss encounter recently added to Throne and Liberty’s solo dungeon, Hall of Illusion, as part of the game’s March 2025 update (version 2.1.0). This update, which went live on March 13, 2025, introduced Lionhead alongside another new boss called Umbrakan.
Lionhead Boss Moves and Attacks
To beat Lionhead in Throne and Liberty, you need to know his main moves:

- Blocking:
- First block: When Lionhead lifts his weapon, block his slow attack.
- Quick block: Right after he disappears and comes back, block again fast because he’ll attack quickly.
- Moving Around:
- Jumping: Keep jumping to avoid fire on the ground.
- Dodging stomps: Jump over his stomp attack, then block after you land.
- Avoiding cracks: Don’t step on cracks in the floor because they slow you down and hurt you.
Lionhead has many attacks you need to learn. The fight starts with a slow attack you can block if you time it right. Then he disappears and comes back with a fast attack, so you need to be quick to block again and not get hurt.
How to Beat Lionhead in Throne and Liberty
The place where you fight Lionhead has things that can make the fight harder. Watch out for fire on the ground and jump to avoid it.

If Lionhead knocks you up in the air, use your gliding skill to land safely. Also, don’t step on cracks in the floor because they slow you down and hurt you.
Most Important Crucial Totem Phase
The most important part of fighting Lionhead is the color match. This is called the Crucial Totem Phase. Here’s how it works:

Three special characters appear with symbols that match colored pillars (red, yellow, purple). You need to get each character to their matching pillar quickly.

If you’re playing as a Crusader, use skills like Chain Hook or Shield Push to move the characters faster. Be careful! For each character that doesn’t reach their pillar, Lionhead will hit you 33% harder.
To do this part well, choose the movement speed boost at the start of the dungeon. This helps you move the characters faster. Try to finish moving all characters within 15 seconds.

If you do, Lionhead will be stunned for 10 seconds, and you can attack him freely.
Crusader Build for Beating Lionhead
To have the best chance of beating Lionhead as a Crusader, you should use this setup:
Weapons | Important Skills | What They Do |
---|---|---|
Sword & Shield | Counter Barrier | Makes you 25% better at blocking during tricky parts |
Shield Strike | Makes enemies attack you instead of your friends | |
Greatsword | Gaia Crash | Hurts many enemies at once when Lionhead is stunned |
Valiant Brawl | Helps you move around quickly |
This setup helps you block Lionhead’s attacks, keep his attention on you, deal lots of damage when he’s stunned, and move fast during the color match part. Using these weapons and skills will make it easier to beat Lionhead in Throne and Liberty.

Once you understand Lionhead’s moves and use the right build, you’ll know how to beat Lionhead in Throne and Liberty. Keep practicing and stay alert during the fight.
