Bring frost or blunt damage. Sidestep the ground slam, keep moving sideways through flame pillars, and roll through the armor charge to punish from behind.

Quick answer

Frost or blunt damage required — fire is fully wasted. Stay near arena centre to keep the boss out of the DoT ring. Sidestep the ground slam and roll through the armor-charge windup to punish from behind.

Step by step

  1. Equip a Frost- or blunt Divine Weapon.
  2. Hold arena centre. The slam pushes you toward the lava ring — fight against it.
  3. When his fists glow, sidestep, single hit, then back off. Do not greed.
  4. Flame pillars spawn where you stood 1s ago. Strafe sideways continuously.
  5. On the red-aura armor charge, roll through him and punish his back.

Common mistakes

  • Fighting from the ring edge. Arena rotation pushes you off.
  • Bringing a fire-aligned weapon. He absorbs it.
