What to study

Veilguard's boss HUD at its most minimal: the whole fight's UI is one top-centre unit, a thin stagger bar over the red health bar with a diamond phase marker, the boss name in gold below it, and a status label (here Burning, stacked x2) floating above the bar instead of beside it. The rest of the screen is deliberately empty, so the dragon itself carries the threat read. Frame at 1:45 (105s) in the Blighted Dragon Trailer (Steam).

Screen inventory

• top-centre boss bar: thin stagger/armor bar above a wide red health bar with gold end caps and a diamond phase marker
• "Burning" status label with flame icon above the bar and a flame stack count of 2 at the bar's right end
• boss name "Corius the Icetalon" in gold serif below the bar
• the blighted dragon rearing over a muddy arena with two companions flanking the player character, who stands inside a blue barrier bubble
• no player health, ability or prompt furniture visible: the boss bar is the whole HUD in this frame
