This is the hardest part of the fight, so doing everything in your power to end it quickly will greatly reduce the difficulty of this encounter. Do not be afraid to trade hits with the Sword Gargoyle to make this happen, just watch out to not get flanked by the Twinblade Gargoyle. The optimal scenario is to fully kill the Sword Gargoyle before the Twinblade Gargoyle makes it to your position. Regardless of whether or not you get a stagger, make sure you use your highest damage output right after the Twinblade Gargoyle spawns. If your weapon has a good weapon art (such as The Queen's Black Flame), you may even want to use the weapon art instead of taking the critical hit. This is optimal, since it will give you a large burst of damage on the Sword Gargoyle. This will ensure that the Twinblade Gargoyle will spawn on the other side of the arena, giving you precious time to finish off the Sword Gargoyle before the Twinblade Gargoyle is able to make its way to you.ĭepending on your weapon and level of aggression, it is possible to get a stagger on the Sword Gargoyle right as Phase 2 is coming up. The safe bet is to simply run away and wait for a different opening.īefore the Sword Gargoyle hits half health, make sure to position it around the entrance to the boss arena. You can try to get free hits on the Gargoyle while it is spawning the mist, but be careful that you do not get poisoned. If you see it coming out, you have plenty of time to simply sprint away from the Gargoyle, and you will not take any damage. It is possible to stay quite close to the Gargoyle most of the time, just watch out for the Poison Mist attack it will use at close range. The Gargoyle will swap between its sword and halberd periodically, both of them have relatively easy to read attacks, but if you find that one of the forms is harder for you, you can always simply wait it out by dodging backwards and running away from the Gargoyle to wait for the easier phase. You can be relatively aggressive in this phase if you learn the patterns, letting you get a potential stagger and consequently a critical hit coming into Phase 2. Take your time to learn its attacks, most of them are relatively easy to dodge on reaction. There is no timer, as the Twinblade Gargoyle comes into the fight when the Sword Gargoyle is around half health. In this phase, the goal is to simply take as little damage as possible. Also consider having a weapon with high range in order to hit the Gargoyles properly, this can be especially effective combined with playing with the camera unlocked. You may find that ranged summons such as the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes are good for this fight, as the Gargoyles tend to move around quite a bit and their attacks have large AoEs, making melee summons ineffective ( needs more testing). If you attempt this fight with low damage, you may have problems with Phase 2, when both Gargoyles are ganging up on you. Prior to fighting this boss, the player may want to consider having a decently upgraded Flask, a way to cure Poison and decent damage output. The goal in this encounter should be to take as little damage as possible in Phase 1, quickly burn down the low health Gargoyle in Phase 2, and then have enough Flask charges to get through Phase 3. ![]() We can look at the encounter as having 3 phases: Phase 1 being a 1v1 fight against the first Gargoyle only, Phase 2 being a 1v2 against both Gargoyles, and Phase 3 being a 1v1 against the remaining Gargoyle.
