Tips & Strategy

  • Access the boss by lying down at a specific spot in the floating ruins -- easily missed
  • Phase 1: stay under his body and attack the legs -- most breath attacks miss you there
  • Phase 2: he teleports and reappears with claw slashes -- watch for the golden lightning flash
  • His Placidusax's Ruin (laser breath) sweeps in a wide arc -- dodge through it or sprint sideways
  • Bleed weapons are highly effective given his large health pool and big hitbox
