Exploiting Adel’s vulnerabilities
Poison and Scarlet Rot inflict significant damage on Gaping Jaw. Stacking these status effects enables sustained health depletion despite his agility. Avoid fire-based attacks due to their reduced effectiveness.

The Night of the Wise artifact proves invaluable here, poisoning struck enemies and enhancing offensive capabilities when debuffs are active. Coordinated use among allies ensures constant poison application. Close-range fighters gain amplified damage through proximity bonuses.
Frostbite further increases damage susceptibility. Consider equipping the Night of the Miasma relic from Caligo’s defeat to boost attack power near frost-afflicted targets.
As a draconic entity, Gaping Jaw suffers amplified damage from anti-dragon enhancements unlocked via Mountaintop Shifting Earth events.
All weapon types remain viable against this boss when combined with poison-infused gear and proximity-based damage modifiers. For additional strategies, consult Nightreign combat guides.
