V Rising 1.1 boss guide for Sir Magnus the Overseer, covering location, key attacks, Normal and Brutal Mode strategy, rewards and progression.
Sir Magnus is an early Act IV gatekeeper who combines dangerous close-range Frost attacks with an interruption test when he seals himself in ice. The fight asks for two different habits: normally stay at range; when the healing shield begins, close the distance and break it quickly.
If you treat his Ice Block as just another attack to avoid, the encounter can drag on while he recovers. This guide explains when to keep your distance and when it is worth briefly committing to a stronger offensive burst.
