I was having a very hard time defeating Phylaks the Warrior. After getting killed over and over many many times, I consulted 4 or 5 blogs that claimed to have the secret. All of them said basically the same thing, just keep moving and shoot when you can and move to each of the 3 levels as necessary. This was not much help to me since I am 73 and a little slow. I finally figured out how to to it. I discovered a secret. Using my method you can defeat Phylaks in one try without getting killed even once.....if your skill levels are average and you are a little lucky.
In this simple procedure, keep in mind that I play Warlock, and my power is 1206. Things may work different if you play one of the other characters. I don't know. A power of 1100 is recommended for the level.
Before you start the level, war around on Europa until you can collect a full load of ammo for your three weapons. Arm yourself with your best rapid fire weapons. When you are ready, go to the Beyond Light Campaign marker and start the level.
Phase One: When you start the level, you will be standing in a short hallway looking out. You are safe in here, it is a "sweet spot". Phylaks (PW) descends when you step out of the hall way. Step out, then backup into the hallway. When PW descends throw a grenade then mow down the first wave of goons, sometimes called "Adds" by other bloggers. They cannot easily get you because you are backed into the hall way. When they are all dead, shoot PW in the face as much as possible. Another wave will come, repeat. If you run low on ammo, dart out of the hallway, pick up all you can and then go back into the hall and turn around to face the next wave. When PW freezes you with a stasis blast, wait it out, reload, and be ready for an instant attack by the goons. Continue until you have worn PW down 1/3 of her power. You can see her power bar which it is divided into thirds. The floor will then crumble away but you should be safe in the hall way. It does not crumble. Catch your breath and calm your nerves.
Phase Two: PW jumps across the pond to a high platform to your right. There is a lower platform beneath that has some short columns on it. The platform is roughly L shaped. In the corner of the L there is another "sweet spot" where you will be safe from any attack. 1st you need to "fly" over to the platform. It takes me two flying jumps. When you land you will be immediately be attacked by a horde of goons. Blast as many as you can and quickly run to the corner of the L and jump OFF the platform....there is a ledge down there.....trust me, it is there. You may miss it your first try and die. You will soon become an expert at bailing out to the "sweet spot". While on the ledge, they can not see you and you are safe from attack. Fly straight up and blast the goons....land on the ledge again. Repeat as much as you want. When all the goons are expired you will be faced with waves of "shanks." They are easy targets so if you want, fly up to the platform and hide very close behind one of the short columns. Whenever you defeat a wave, pop out and shoot PW in the face. Repeat until she is worn down another 1/3. When this happens, the platform will dissolve and you have mere seconds to figure out which way to jump and then make the jump. If you look to the left and lightly behind, you will see three platforms of different levels. You can reach the lowest one with a single flying leap.
Phase Three: You now need to jump or fly to the highest of the 3 platforms. It is below a large battlefield platform where you will meet the enemy. This platform is your third "sweet spot". PW and the goons cannot see you here. You an fly straight up and shoot and land again in safety. You will see PW high in the distance. When you are ready, fly up to the battlefield and run around killing the 1st wave of goons. One of them will be extra powerful and require many hits spanning several waves. When your health is low, run to the edge of the platform and jump off. Land in your sweet spot and rest. Reload and heal up. Fly up and kill the goons. Repeat as necessary. When ready, fly up to the battlefield and defeat all the goons. Go back to your sweet spot if necessary. When you kill the powerful guy, you an pick up his stasis weapon. It will work in place of your "super charge" weapon. PW will come after you. Use this new weapon along with your regular guns to defeat PW. Go back to your sweet spot anytime you need too. To activate the new stasis weapon, use your "super charge" feature.
Its all pretty easy and goes a lot faster than I faster can describe it. Good Luck.
