Note that despite the Soul Spear's ability to pierce through enemy groups, it can be very difficult to hit the actual boss with it due to not being able to target him properly the same goes for White Dragon Breath and Soul Stream. It may however be difficult to cast properly due to the high number of enemies and their ability to cast fireballs, which may interrupt your own spellcasting. Only a few magic spells are effective in this boss fight, namely (Crystal) Soul Spear, White Dragon Breath, Soul Stream and Soul Greatsword, which can all help you taking down deacons left and right. It is a good idea to avoid allowing enemies to circle in behind you, as it increases the likelihood that an enemy will be able to use a physical staggering attack on you before being knocked off balance by your weapon.

As long as you are swinging with an appropriately sized weapon (such as the Hollowslayer), it is possible to heal at a rate faster than damage can be done to you, effectively rendering you immune to any attack that does not stagger. Using an item or consumable that increases stamina regeneration will allow you to remain within the mob longer, assuming a brief pause after each swing.

Pontiff's Left Eye will allow you to dive into the mob safely when you use a weapon with large horizontal attacks as it will heal you for each enemy you hit in one swing. Ignore them and the player will be instantly killed by a curse. Keep these four casters alive until they start pooling their magic separately making a curse debuff fog. Rolling into enemies is a good way to get out of trouble, as it will make them stumble backwards which should give you some breathing room.Ĭasters will pool their magic together with the main hollow to fire a black mass that goes through objects to hit you but won't track. Try and maneuver around them if you can, or if you feel confident try and AoE them down with a wide swinging weapon. He will be closely guarded by other undead who will try to put a protective barrier between you and them. In phase 2 there will be one enemy that possesses the red aura for the duration of the fight. The undead do very low damage so prioritize offense and heal if you take too much damage. You're going to sprint from enemy to enemy killing the ones with the red aura as fast as you can, following it from one enemy to the next. This is a relatively straightforward fight.
