Lords of the Fallen, akin to other games in the Souls-like genre, features a plethora of excellently crafted and formidable boss battles that will every now and then put your gaming skills to the test.
This RPG action adventure developed by CI Games is undeniably challenging, and any advice on dealing with boss encounters is greatly appreciated. Scourged Sister Delyth is one of the initial bosses you'll face—technically the third, as the first one serves more as a tutorial—positioned just after the Sanctuary Vestige.
If this particular boss is causing you frustration, take a look at our victorious strategy and explore some valuable tips to enhance your combat effectiveness.
How to beat Scourged Sister Delyth
- Your most reliable companion in this battle will unquestionably be the parry, as her actions are notably sluggish and easy to anticipate. If you execute well-timed parries and follow up with precise counterattacks, you can take a really big portion of her health.
- Adding to the challenge of this encounter is the necessity to fight in the Umbral realm, where the boss is shielded by a parasite. Upon entering the arena, swiftly make your way to the chamber on the boss's right, eliminate the parasite, and perform three consecutive dodges to evade the initial attack. For a visual demonstration, watch our video to see our approach in action.
- An effective strategy for reducing the boss's health is to target the explosive red orbs on the walls. Striking these orbs will not only inflict damage but also disrupt her, leaving her vulnerable.
- The boss battle remains a one-phase encounter, but as you chip away around forty per cent of the boss's health, she becomes increasingly aggressive and incorporates fire-based attacks. Particularly challenging are the fire tornadoes that relentlessly pursue you. The most efficient approach to evading these fiery tempests is to lure them towards the two pillars located in the upper section of the arena. During this stage, prioritising dodging over parrying and blocking is recommended.
- Lastly, consider using ranged weapons if you find yourself struggling with the boss, as the bosses in Lords of the Fallen are typically designed to exhibit less aggression when you maintain a significant distance from them.
However, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, or in our situation, a video. Take a look at the video to observe our successful approach to dealing with this boss. It's worth noting that this video was created during the early release version of the game, which had sound issues, so please be aware that the audio quality may not be optimal.
