The Apostle twirls his weapon in front him very quickly as he slowly advances. Alternatively, you can maintain a medium distance from him when not attacking to get out of range of the attack. The attack has a narrow hitbox so dodge diagonally backwards. The attack can deal damage twice if the first hit connects. The Apostle quickly stabs with the sickle-end of his twinblade and then pulls back. The projectile has a rather fast travel speed and deals damage over time for a couple of seconds after a direct hit.ĭodge sideways or through the fireball as it comes towards you Raises his left hand and conjures a black fireball that he then tosses towards his target. The strategy for ranged players is largely the same and in fact, they may have an edge as the Apostle's attacks hit below medium range, which is where ranged players want to stay at anyway. The Godskin Apostle seems susceptible to magic damage and his poise can be broken rather easily by using multi-hit spells such as Glintblade Phalanx or Glintstone Stars, allowing you to get a critical attack in. Do not stand too close to the edge even when the whirlwind has stopped moving. The attack culminates with him plunging his blade into the ground and causing the whirlwind to burst and extend outwards a short distance from its initial edge. Lastly, he can perform a Black Flame Whirlwind attack where he twirls his weapon in place, creating a whirlwind extending outwards all around him. Both hits are easy to read and can be outranged or dodged and he is vulnerable for a couple of seconds after the sweep. He will also frequently use a Plunging Blade & Sweep move where he flings his torso upwards and then slams down with his weapon, followed by a very wide sweeping slash. His lower body remains stationary and if you can dodge through his weapon, he will be vulnerable to attack from his elongated abdomen to his legs for the duration of the attack as his torso is locked in the animation. His notable attack windows during this phase is when he uses the Flight variant of Spinning Weapon, in which he flings his upper torso outwards while spinning his weapon. Get away from him when you see him float. From this point, he can unlatch the skin of his upper torso from the rest of his body and fling it around to greatly extend his reach as well as unlock new abilities. When his HP is lowered to 60%, he will float upwards briefly and then slam down, creating a shockwave around him, signifying his second phase. Maintain your distance or dodge through and behind him. Another move he may use is the Spinning Weapon in which he twirls his blade in front of him as he advances forward. The attacks you should watch out for are his Black Flame as it travels quite quickly, you should dodge as soon as you see the casting rune and his Stab & Pull which hits twice for massive damage. These two attacks are relatively easy to dodge. Another one is his Jumping Overhead Slash which has a slightly longer recovery than other attacks and can guarantee 2 hits for you. Some notable attack windows are when he performs his Stab & Slash he has a moderate recovery time after the second attack in which you can safely get one or two hits in. His melee attacks have a bit of weight to them and he does short wind-ups before attacking, similar to but not to the same extent as Margit at Stormveil. When fighting this boss, you want to maintain a medium distance to avoid many of his attacks and only close in during openings. He utilizes Black Flame spells similar to the monks earlier in the tower. The Godskin Apostle is a powerful boss equipped with a twinblade that has a sickle-end for slashing and a blade-end for thrusting and stabbing. Use Glintstone Stars, Glintblade Phalanx or any multi-hit spells that deal Magic damage to break his poise.Maintain a medium distance from him at all times.Do this a few times and the fight is done. Use a bleed weapon with the BloodFlame enchantment, and land a 3x charged combo attack when he is sleeping to do more damage/ bleed build up than performing a critical hit would do. If he exits the cloud, a second pot will put him to sleep (doesn't work with online players summoned). If the pot is a direct hit and he stays in the cloud, 1 pot will put him to sleep. Use sleep pots with a strong spirit summon such as Lhutel the Headless +4 to bait the Apostle to provide an opening for the pot to land.
