Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel in a nutshell

1. You can pull out the boss's soul using Soulflay. This is possible in the first phase, we recommend using this offensive move, especially when she used Radiance to buff.
2. Pay attention to the ground when the arrow hits the ground. A yellow circle will appear. After a while, this area will be flooded with many projectiles, so move as quickly as possible.
3. In the first phase, you will receive Physical and Holy damage, and in the second, it'll be fire damage.
4. In the second phase, her attacks are very similar, although much faster. You need to get used to the new pace of the game.

How to fight the Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel in phase 1?

After entering the arena, a fog will appear for a short time, making visibility difficult. It's best to stand still and wait for the boss to appear. Only then start attacking. Typically, the opponent attacks with double or triple bursts. The attacks are not very fast, but it is better to avoid all her attacks and then go on the offensive.

At first it will only fight like this. Once you get her HP down to around 75%, she will stick her banner into the ground and charge a buff for a long while. This is an excellent opportunity to use Soulflay. This will interrupt the charging and seriously injure the boss. Repeat this step until you run out of Soulflay.

Thanks to this move, the boss won't attack you for a good dozen or so seconds, and you will deprive her of most of her health without losing yours.

However, if you do not stop her buff, she will shoot an arrow into the arena from time to time. After the arrow hits the ground, a large circle will appear in that place, indicating that a hail of arrows is about to land in that area. Get out of its reach as quickly as possible.

After charging the buff successfully, most of the boss's attacks will deal Holy damage. Therefore, it is important to have some defense against this type of damage.

In phase 2, the arena will become darker, and so will the boss's appearance. Instead of holy, the opponent will start attacking with fire. If you can put on armor that provides good protection against this element, we recommend doing so.

Most of the attacks of Judge Cleric, the Radiant Sentinel have the same animations. They are, however, a bit faster, so you have to dodge much quicker. There will be no room for attack in that moment. Go on the offensive when she stops attacking you.

One of the new moves is the creation of a fiery aura that will first expand, and when it reaches its maximum range, it will return to the Radiant Sentinel. If you are within its range, dodge forward and then watch your back. When the wave approaches you again, dodge backwards.

The boss can also stick a fire banner into the ground, which will cause fire spikes to appear in random places in the arena for a few seconds. Watch the ground and don't get hit because then you will take a lot of damage, and your character will be thrown off balance.
