Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2: Raisa Volkova Boss Battles

Raisa Volkova

This boss encounter is fairly easy.

At the beginning of the fight, you will have to use Void Projections to slow Raisa down, because she moves way too fast for you to be able to do anything. When she finally stops flying like a mad(wo)man, the encounter will become fairly easy.

Besides standard attacks, which you can easily block, Raisa uses:

• Few variants of attacks using the electricity - she will inform you about her intention of using one of them by saying "Let's make this more exciting!", after which she will jump into the middle of the arena to attack. The best method of defense is simply mobility - be in motion all the time and don't stand on top of balls of electricity appearing in random places, because after a few seconds they will explode, dealing damage.
• A grab - from time to time Raisa will try to pull you to herself. If she manages to hit you with this attack, you will just have to press a button at the right moment to set yourself free from her grip.
• Impossible to block melee attack - when you will be attacking her in melee range, she will use one of her unblockable attacks, which you must dodge. They are indicated by a red flash, so you shouldn't have any trouble to get away in time.

Every now and then Raisa will call some backup in the form of foes you recently fought against - it's an ideal moment for you to refill your supply of Void Magic and/or heal yourself, if you are wounded. There's a possibility that Raisa will start doing her charge attack again (the same as she done at the beginning of the encounter) - you have to freeze her again with your Void Projections. After a short while the fight should be over.
