Quick answer
Stack electric or fire damage. Never fight in water deeper than ankle — it slows your dodge. Parry the second spear flick. During Phase 2, watch the splash circle and roll forward when it reaches 80% fill.
Step by step
- Equip an Electric- or Fire-infused Divine Weapon. Frost is wasted.
- Stand on dry ground. Avoid stepping into deep tide pools.
- Sidestep the trident pull — sprint perpendicular, never backward.
- Parry the second of three staggered spear flicks.
- In Phase 2 she dives. Track the expanding splash and roll forward at ~80% fill.
Common mistakes
- Trying to outrun the trident pull straight back — she catches you with a follow-up throw.
- Dodging the dive too early. Frame data wants 80% fill, not 50%.
