Like every other boss inLies of P,players are going to need to strategize and sharpen their skills if they want to beat Fallen Archbishop Andreus. Luckily, there are a few ways to make this fight a little easier. With some sharp senses and a bit of patience, it won’t take long before players finally beat this crazed monster.
How to Beat Fallen Archbishop Andreus
Before everything else, this is atwo-phase boss fight. Once players empty Andreus' health bar, a cutscene will play before promptly starting the next half of the battle. Players will need to master the first phase so they can have enough resources to take on Andreus in his final form.
Thankfully, the first phase is relatively easy once players get the hang of Andreus' attacks. His moves are fairly slow, but they still hit like a truck. Don’t be greedy and only attack once the boss starts recovering from missed or blocked attacks.Andreus' tongue attacks are easy to parry, so try toaim for those perfect blockswhenever he does them.
The second fight is where things get dicey. The one-winged angel from the intro cutscene will reappear and start fighting as well. However, it only seems to attack if players are facing it. To negate much of the strengths it has, runbehind Andreusandlock onto the big, ugly monster facefrom the first phase. Here, the majority of the boss attacks will besimilar to the first half of the fight, albeit slightly more aggressive.
Use Fire damagewhen fighting Andreus todeal more damage in the long run. Almost everything the game gives to the players since starting the St. Frangelico Cathedral map points towards using Fire against beasts, so make sure to equip theFlame Grindstone and Flambergeand bring along a couple of cans ofThermiteto maximize DPS. Back in the Venigni Works' Workshop Union Entrance Stargazers, players can find theSalamander Blade, which deals Fire damage with each attack.
To make the fight even easier, summon a Specter and use all available sources of Fire damage. If players are quick enough, they’ll be able to enter the second phase while the Specter still has half health or more, making the hardest part of this fight that much easier. Players can freely use the Flamberge to torch Andreus while the boss' attention is glued to the Specter.
