Dark Souls 2: Lost Sinner How to defeat a boss

Lost Sinner

The Lost Sinner is one of the four main bosses of the game, which you must defeat in order to get inside the Drangleic Castle. He's wielding a heavy, two-handed sword, while being extremely fast and agile. To ease the fight, you can light up the lamps, which will illuminate the arena.

Attacks:

• An aerial attack - the boss jumps into the air and smashes into ground, performing a powerful, overhead attack.
• A sword swing - when you're located in front of the enemy, he will perform a swing, which can escalate into a series of attacks.
• A thrust - when you're located in front of the enemy, he will perform a simple thrust, which can be easily avoided.
• A jump-over - sometimes, the enemy will jump into the air to immediately land behind your back (use targeting to nullify this attack).

Tactics:

The most important thing during this battle is patience. Circle around the enemy, with your shield raised all the time and attack him 1-2 times after he attacked himself - afterwards, get away from him to refill your stamina. You can't attack him all the time, as you will run out of stamina and the enemy will kill you in an instant with his series of attacks. Use the automated targeting, because the boss is extremely mobile and can disappear from your sight if you're not careful.

You can summon Lucatiel of Mirrah to aid you in the fight - her sign is located by the elevator. To ease the fight, you can light up the lamps, which will illuminate the arena. They are located behind the grating, just before the mist. You can open it up by using the Bastille Key, acquired after your fight with the Gargoyles.
