How to unlock the Candelarian achievement in Dolmen - Definitive Guide
This fight is about patience.
The first fight takes place in room with blue energy balls that will drain your energy, but they will also be your best friend: when the enemy walks into them, he gets paralyzed for a few seconds and thats when you get your hits in. I used a greatsword to speed the process up.
You can also shoot him a few times at first, but when his health reaches around 60%, he'll throw up a red shield that bounces off your bullets, so beware. just stick to the routine off tricking him into following you into the path of a blue energy ball. to stay safe, just circle a pillar slowly.
The Second fight is also about patience. The enemy will shoot exploding magma projectiles at you, so always keep a pillar between you and him. every so often, you'll also see the "unblockable attack" sign above his head, but this means he will summon a homing drone. take care of the drone with a big swing from your sword/axe.
eventually, and this can be after 6 or after 10 blasts, the enemy will overheat and then you can get in a few hits. if you're packing a frost-enabled weapon or reactor, you'll get some big hits in. 1 Heavy attack and two quick regular attacks per window of opportunity should keep you safe. he'll go down in about 3 or 4 windows, depending on your level.

Cheese method for dealing with the Ancient Warrior in the first fight: Reach for the locked downward staircase at the opposite end of where you enter. Have the boss follow you and keep circling around the set of stairs, all while discharging your energy weapon at him. At the half health mark, his shield will appear but will dissapear after a few seconds. This specific will also make sure that you do not run into a blue draining sphere.
