In Lords of the Fallen (LotF), boss battles are pivotal moments in the game, serving as progression barriers that must be overcome to advance the story. Scourged Sister Delyth is one such formidable boss, and while she may initially appear straightforward, her hard-hitting attacks and bleed damage make her a challenging foe. To emerge victorious, you must grasp her attack patterns and employ effective strategies. This guide will help you master the art of defeating Scourged Sister Delyth in Lords of the Fallen.
Scourged Sister Delyth Boss Attack Patterns:
In the first phase of the Scourged Sister Delyth boss fight, you’ll face a boss with slow movement and a limited set of attacks:
1. Flail Swings:
When in close proximity, Scourged Sister Delyth will execute two flail swings. Dodge or block these, and retaliate when she finishes her combo.
2. Kick Combo:
She may initiate her combo with a kick, particularly if you engage her aggressively. This provides a chance to counterattack once she follows it up.
3. Charged Ground Pound:
At medium or long range, Delyth may perform a charged ground pound. Dodging this allows you to land a powerful charged attack while she recovers.
4. Uppercut Flail Attack:
If you’re positioned behind or beside her after a dodge, she might start a two-part attack consisting of an uppercut followed by a ground smash. Parrying the initial attack opens her up to a visceral attack.
5. Three-Hit Flail Combo:
When her health drops to around 30-40%, Delyth may aggro and perform a predictable three-hit flail swing combo, which can be parried.
In the second phase, triggered when Delyth’s health falls to 50% or lower, her attacks become more potent:
1. Quick Dash Swing:
She begins many attacks with a quick dash followed by one flail swing and a powerful jumping ground attack.
2. Ground Attack:
During this phase, the ground attack can deal substantial damage. It’s slow and predictable, allowing for a well-timed dodge to avoid damage.
3. Four-Hit Flail Combo:
When buffed with Radiance magic, Delyth executes a four-hit flail combo. Dodging these attacks or maintaining distance can prevent damage.
Scourged Sister Delyth Boss Fight Strategy:
To conquer Scourged Sister Delyth, follow these strategies:
1. Initiate with Umbral Lamb:
Start the fight by using the Umbral Lamb to extract Delyth’s soul, providing an opportunity for three to five hits and significant early damage.
2. Elemental Weapon Buffs:
Enhance your weapon with Holy Salts or Fire Salts to increase your attack power and exploit her elemental weaknesses, particularly Holy damage.
3. Attack Timing:
Opt for a hit-and-retreat approach, landing two or three quick hits with a heavy weapon before creating distance and waiting for your next opportunity. Dual-wielders can extend their combo to four to six hits.
4. Parrying:
Exploit Delyth’s slow and predictable attacks by parrying them. This opens the door for visceral attacks and substantial damage.
5. Stagger Management:
When Delyth is staggered, seize the opportunity to perform visceral attacks, significantly depleting her health.
6. Bleed Resistance Balm:
Carry Bleed Resistance Balm to mitigate the bleed buildup from Delyth’s attacks, especially during the first phase.
