I’m really struggling with the Calus Legendary boss fight, and honestly, most of the guides I come across feel outdated. What are the best weapons and strategies I should be using to get through this fight?

If you’re on Strand, staying mobile is key! I found success by poking at Calus from the edges of the arena and focusing on the Tormentors as they spawn; they can really mess you up if you let them run wild. Make sure to save your supers for when the arena gets tighter in the second phase—Calus becomes way more aggressive then.
You might want to consider using the Choir of One; it’s really effective against both phases of Calus. Good luck with it, guardian!
I’ve had great success using an Arc Hunter build with Lucky Pants and Yesterday’s Question hand cannon. You might consider pairing that with Izinagi’s Burden to deal with the Tormentors before the final phase. Keeping the chaos down helps a ton! Also, if you’re on Warlock, using Heat Rises can be really handy during the second phase.
For the second phase, a good strategy is to use a normal fusion rifle with Particle Repeater. Just a few shots will push him to his next mini phase, and you’ll have time to get to safety. Don’t forget about the Tormentors though—try to take them out before you finish Calus’s first health bar, or keep them under control during the fight! A Tether can be a lifesaver too.
Thanks! I’ll definitely give this a shot.
