Tips & Strategy

  • He teleports frequently -- wait for him to appear and immediately dodge his slash
  • Holy and Fire damage deal bonus damage -- use Holy Water Pots or Fire Grease
  • His attacks cause bleed buildup -- equip Staunching Boluses or bleed resistance armor
  • Very fragile with only 3020 HP -- aggressive players can kill him in seconds
  • Watch for the green chain grab attack -- dodge sideways when you see the wind-up
