This won’t take long.
Seriously, this boss fight barely needs a guide. This fight is easy. And I don’t mean that in the way that a “git gud scrub” kind of gamer would tell you this fight is easy. It really is straightforward.
Even I could beat this first time every time. And not get hit. Not even once. Or ever actually feel in danger. And if I feel like that, it must be very simple.
Preparation
None.
Well that’s not completely true. You can spend the insight the have stored. The higher your insight, the more skills the Witch(es) have. I never really noticed the difference, and I there’s not a lot to spend it on yet.
Just make sure you have a Blood Vial. One’s probably enough…
Tactics
Run into the middle of the room, then run to the corner behind you, then run around the outside of the room.
When the witch appears, hit her until she disappears.
If you run into one of the slow moving minions, run a different way. Don’t bother attacking them.
That’s it. That’s the guide. These layers have powers but I never saw them. The minions are tough but move slowly. Just keep running around until the witches become visible and bop them.
Phases
Up to 3 boys get summoned to help. I didn’t see any other change.
Watch Out For
There are two witches. One health bar appears once you’ve hurt the first enough. In the case of my second playthrough, it didn’t actually appear because I killed both at the same time.
I’ve heard they can resurrect each other, so you could pull your punches if the first health bar is going down to quickly and look for the other, but I do not think that’s worth it.
In Other Words
- Run around in circles and boop the witches until they die.
This fight is definitely worth it though. The unlock beyond this room is very useful, and if you reload the area and walk back down the hill, the regular witch ladies and the big boys with the axe can make a good place to farm health and blood early on.
Keep on Hunting!
