How to beat Skinstealer

The Skinstealer, among the bosses in Lords of the Fallen, exhibits fluid, dance-like manoeuvres. Success in this battle relies on carefully observing these moves and mastering the art of dodging each one. Following the boss's attack sequence, deliver two strikes, then withdraw to safety.

This boss is also weak against radiant magic, so seize the chance to unleash a few magical projectiles when he maintains his distance.

The fundamental strategy in this battle is to exercise patience and avoid becoming greedy, as you cannot disrupt the boss's attacks. Limit your strikes to just two, then step back and repeat this process. Also, do not try to block his attacks because he attacks in series and you will eventually run out of stamina and all your withered health will be depleted.

As always, you can watch the video we've posted above to witness our successful boss fight attempt.
