Dark Souls 2: Prowling Magus and Congregation How to defeat a boss

Mage and Cleric still alive

It is the first of two boss fights in Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Instead of one enemy, you will have to face three of them and multiple lesser undead. The opponents here are not very different from usual enemies that you meet during your journey, but the difficulty here is the number of them.

Attacks:

• Zombie Jump - zombies jump at you trying to hit you
• Magus: Dark Orb - the mage shoots a dark magic orb, which moves slowly towards you
• Magus: AoE Knockback - if you get close to him, the mage casts an AoE spell that can push you away and knock you down
• Cleric: Lightning Bolt - the clerics shoot small lightning bolts in your direction
• Cleric: Damage Reduction - the clerics cast a spell that reduces the damage that they take
• Cleric: Zombie Healing - one of the clerics periodically casts a spell that heals all of your enemies

Strategy:

This fight is really easy if you use strong AoE spells like Firestorm/Chaos Storm, Souls Vortex or Soul Appease. All you have to do is to run into the centre and cast them a few times. Chances are you will win the battle immediately or, if not, you will at least eliminate all the lesser enemies.

If you don't have such spells, you will have to defeat the enemies one by one. Try to ignore the zombies and focus on killing the two clerics, as the can cause you the biggest trouble. Watch the area around you, because you can easily get circled, which may end tragically. When you eliminate the clerics, make your way towards the mage and finish him with a few accurate hits. After he's dead, you just have to get rid of the rest of the undead.
