Plenty of time to get in some lovely free hits. Luring him near one of the same shrines can have benefits, because if you can get him to accidentally hit one it’ll blow up in his face and leave him down for ages. If you don’t do this, you’ll take unstoppable amounts of damage from the blue pool things he creates and instantly die.

The main thing to know about Worshipper is that when he does that thing where he kneels down and waves his hand around like he’s swishing bathwater, immediately run and stand inside one of the little graveyard shrine things. His regular swings can be avoided by either dodging, blocking (if you have a good enough shield) or just staying too far away.Ī lot of the time you should be keeping him occupied with your Prayer decoy spell, and won’t even have to worry about being hit.Īpparently I forgot to screencap Worshipper, but this is where he lives. You’ll know it when it appears, he stays down for ages and you can just wail on him.Īnother fine window for some hits is when he’s summoning guys with his slow sword pointing motion.ĭodge or block his ‘sound-wave’ type sword blast. The other optimal time to punish this boss is the move (which I don’t believe comes out until later phases) where he kneels down and does a slow-firing, shield-shaped magic thing in a cone.

This guy is a bit dense and will be distracted by it, allowing you to attack his back as much as you can. When Commander is prowling around, use your Prayer decoy spell all day, every day. Fish around for backstabs, or just dispense with them in whatever fashion you see fit. This shouldn’t be too hard since (until the end) it’s just one minion at a time. He periodically summons guys, and will pop out of his shield cocoon to join in if you take too long disposing of them. Take your time.Ĭommander there, confused by a flame-shaped man.Īnother boss with a great big shield that you can’t really get around. Once he ditches his shield (in the final phase of the fight) just try to stay well out of the way of his fancy dancin’, then punish him when he gets tired and pauses for a little rest.Īgain, this fight can be a bit of a slog due to your low damage output and not having many windows to attack in. The giant overhead swing will mess you up if it hits you, but the recovery time is quite long so this is the best time to go to town with some attacks of your own. Wait for the (admittedly not very many) openings he gives you. If he’s hiding behind his massive shield, don’t bother trying to hit him. The main problem at this early stage of the game is that you won’t be dishing out all that much damage (especially if you’re a Rogue character,) so this is something of an exercise in patience.īasically, he’s a great big Lords of the Fallen lesson in when to try to punish openings and when not to. He’s the tutorial boss, so you hopefully don’t need too much help here. Get out from behind that shield and let me stab you.
