The Watcher at the Edge boss fight has no special mechanics or gimmicks; you simply duel the Watcher in a big open area in the Sands of Karak. With this, you need the Flintslate for your needle to deal more damage to the Watcher at the Edge. The Cogfly is a great tool for this fight due to its auto-attack capabilities.
With the Pollip Pouch, your Red Tools can deal poison damage. The Fractured Mask and Magnetite Dice are part of the loadout for survivability. Lastly, the Shell Satchel increases the quantity of crafted tools.
The Beast Crest is a good crest you can use for the fight due to its heal and damage buff after a Silk Bind. The Silk Spear is the safest choice for the Watcher fight due to its range.
The Witch Crest is also very effective in this fight. In exchange for having no yellow tool slots, you can bring 3 blue tools with you to the fight. This allows you to gain more passive effects and advantages that will help you in your survivability.
