The exception to this is his lightning, so make sure you have the Perpetva's Protection rosary bead to help negate some of its damage. Make yourself a tank and stick with one of the same strategies for ng, and you should have no problem.Įsdras can be insanely difficult - until you realize that you can parry just about every offensive option he has. In ng+ this boss actually gets decently easier, because you have access to the empowered versions of elemental defense rosary beads. Viridiana is able to assist you with this fight. Combining these damage boosts with the prayer Seguiriya to your Eyes like Stars will further increase your damage, and I recommend using the prayer when she comes to the bottom of the screen to maximize your damage. This is because you will sometimes have few opportunities to attack the boss while it flies around and spams magic at you, so you need to make your openings count. In this case, it is nice to have a damage boosting rosary bead like knot of hair or token of appreciation. Secondly, you can go for the old fashioned sword approach. Even without prayer damage boosters, this powerful prayer will still do heavy damage to the boss while allowing you to avoid damage with its i-frames. There are 2 main ways to do this fight.įirst of all, you can do the work early game to acquire Debla of the Lights. Piece of a golden mask and other elemental defense beads will help keep you alive long enough to learn her various moves. Rosary beads are a big help in this fight, especially as you are learning her attacks. Simply use Debla, and you will i-frame the entire attack while dealing solid damage to the boss in return. Notably, when the 3 enemies merge and do the massive laser attack, you want to actually stand right above them for this strategy. This means that with drop of coagulated ink and heart of cerulean incense you can worry solely about positioning, and then fire off a Debla when the 3 targets are in a similar position. While you are using Debla, you do not take damage. In ng+ the strategy changes, but it is quite simple: Debla of the Lights. Viridiana is also available to heal you during this fight. When the 3 merge together, avoiding the massive laser should be your first priority since it does a lot of damage to you.

You can parry some of their attacks, but since you will often be midair it is better to just try and avoid them. Since there are 3 targets, getting into a position where you can hit multiple of them at once is a big help and will end the fight faster. This means that you always need to pay attention to your positioning, and I like to climb first and attack second. First of all, if you fall into the fire at the bottom of the screen, you're done for.
