How to beat Crimson Rector Percival

The battle with this boss resembles a choreographed dance; you must memorise the sequences, ensuring that you dodge each of the boss's attacks in a timely manner, and continue this pattern until the battle's end. Once you find the rhythm, this fight becomes an enjoyable experience.

Throughout the battle, the boss will summon specters at specific intervals, sometimes one and sometimes two. It's crucial to bear in mind that, following the specters' attacks, you should dodge backward to evade both their strikes and the following attack by the boss.

Within the battle, the boss incorporates a maneuver involving self-healing. In the video, you can observe that we failed to realise this and refrained from attacking the boss during the healing phase, making this fight way longer than it should be. To avoid this mistake, ensure you use magic or ranged weapons to attack the boss during its healing sequence or attract him

Once you've killed the boss, take the elevator to ascend the castle's ramparts and unlock the shortcut to the Sanctuary Vestige. And, as is our custom, don't forget to watch our video to witness our tips and strategies in practise.
