Deathbird (Capital Outskirts) Capital Outskirts Boss

Description

Another area, another Deathbird. This particular one can be found in the Capital Outskirts of Leyndell. All of these fights play out the same, with the only difference being some stat padding (more health, deals more damage).

Deathbird’s difficulty can vary based on how you wish to tackle it and what your playstyle is. If you’re a mage with long-range magical capabilities, you can stay on Torrent, keep medium distance and pelt it with spells, it’s weak to most forms of magic and even attacks like Ash of War: Sacred Blade will put huge dents into its HP. If you’re a straightforward melee however, you’ll want to go toe-to-toe as the best place to be is directly under its legs.

With that in mind, your goal should be to find yourself around the legs of the Deathbird at all times, the only attack you’ll have to watch out for at this point is the Sweep and Leap, but that can be avoided by rolling through the first sweep. Just be wary not to find yourself standing under its head, it will use Peck on you and if it uses it multiple times, the damage can really add up, especially as you won’t be able to guard through it.

Notable Info

• Although you can use Torrent in this battle, you should fight this battle on the ground if you are melee, opting to keep under its legs. As a mage, it’s safe to stick to horseback and pelt it with magic from range.
