Notable Info

This boss primarily wields a twinblade weapon, but it also has a secondary one-handed axe that it will sometimes use, changing up its attack patterns in the process. The boss uses a number of swift melee attacks with both weapons, but it also has some bloodflame-esque magic attacks. These can inflict significant damage upon impact, but also cause damage over time, making it particularly important that you avoid them.

One of these attacks consists of the boss raising its axe in the air and over its head, before slamming it down into the ground. This creates a wall of magic which will inflict massive damage if you’re caught by it, but it can be avoided with a quick dodge or roll backwards. Using the twinblade, the boss will spin the weapon around rapidly in front of it, generating a whirlwind of magic. The radius of this whirlwind will increase for as long as the attack goes on, before disappearing as the boss finishes with a melee strike.

Using either weapon, the boss can also roar and inflict a shockwave of magical damage, which can hit you even when the boss isn’t facing you if you’re within range. If you need some assistance, you can summon Millicent to this boss provided you’ve been progressing her Quest.
