Lies of P, the most recent RPG adventure in the Souls-like genre by Neowiz Games, is a game that offers little leniency for errors. Even regular enemies pose a significant threat to your health, let alone the formidable bosses.
At the end of the Cathedral level, you'll encounter the game's first boss, who follows a challenging two-stage format reminiscent of the most difficult Souls games.
If you're finding the battle against the Fallen Archbishop to be a source of frustration, this guide will assist you by detailing how we managed to defeat this formidable foe and sharing some invaluable life-saving tips and tricks.
How to beat Fallen Archbishop Andreus
Undoubtedly, one of the hardest boss battles in the game is the encounter with the Fallen Archbishop. This challenge proves difficult not only due to the relentless nature of his attacks but also because the fight unfolds in two distinct phases, further intensifying the difficulty.
Here are several tips for making this fight manageable:
Set Flame Grindstone on your grinder
Given that the Archbishop's attacks are linked to decay, you can inflict additional damage by applying a Flame Grindstone to your weapon. This enhancement will ignite the boss after a few consecutive successful attacks.
Time your dodges and use block occasionally
Unlike the King's Flame boss, where spamming dodges is crucial for avoiding attacks, in this encounter, precise timing of your dodges is imperative. Furthermore, when the boss initiates attacks with its tongue, prioritising blocking over dodge is highly advisable. After successfully blocking, a couple of well-placed hits will replenish your health.
Bring spectre into the fight
In certain boss encounters, the spectre may seem more like a hindrance, but in this particular battle, it proves exceptionally valuable. While it keeps the boss occupied, make the most of this opportunity to inflict as much damage as you can.
Save special attack for the end of the fight
Special attacks build up as you execute regular attacks and yield significantly more damage to the enemy than standard attacks. The most effective approach is to reserve these special attacks until the enemy's health has been depleted to maximise their impact.
Keep an eye on overweight statistics
It might appear trivial, but it's advisable to maintain your character's weight well below the threshold of being overweight. Excess weight can negatively impact stamina consumption when blocking and dodging. If necessary, consider deactivating one of your charms to maintain a more balanced character weight.
