Successor of the Breath Strategies
Strategy Writeup
Artemis and Bayonet Strategy
For this fight I like to use Dark Gifts to stay a good distance away from the Successor of the Breath. Some of his attacks are hard to dodge, and it's always a good idea to bait him into attacking before you attack. The strategy is really simple. Hit him with ranged Dark Gifts, and when he does attacks you can punish, punish those.
Look out for the leaping attack as he does a shield spin after, so dodge this before attacking. You want to bait the attack where he pulls a giant icicle out of the ground in front of him, and then hit him a few times with regular melee attacks to replenish Ichor.
Watch for the shield charge. It happens shortly after slamming his shield once. When this occurs, roll then attack.
In phase two you'll dodge more often, but the strategy is relatively the same. Watch out for his leaping AoE attack, and try to punish his punches. Dodge through his Icicle slice to get in some more melee hits to replenish Ichor.
If you defeat the boss you will see the writing "Greater Lost Dispersed" upon the screen.

AnonymousIn all honesty this boss feels like a boss that should've been earlier it's design is nice but it's probably too easy for the point it's at in the game it's good fun tho

Fun fight, honestly. He rekt me 3 times but then I realized just how effective blocking is in this game and didn't even take any damage.

Honestly, I quite like the design of the boss. The shield stemming from Nicola's need to protect his sister. The rocket/jetpack evolving from the rocket ship backback he wears as a kid. That and the fact he wanted to become a knight, so the heavy suit of armour works as well. This boss is in every way what Nicola wanted to be.

He throws away his shield during second phase, instantly S tier Boss Fight

Melee builds:
Phase 1 back/face hug and dodge
Phase 2 stay at range dodge the punish when he jumps over, rinse repeat

With Isis Blood Code, (Assassin) Merciless Reaper + (Prometheus) Flame Weapon with Zweihander+5 will deal MASSIVE amount of damage (close to 1/6 of his HP) on first game. Deal either a 1-strike skill or a regular skill followed by a Combo-Drain with Prayer Shawl, then focus on dodging and draining until Merciless Reaper is good to go again and repeat. He's down in less than a minute like that.

I use Louis’s weapon but mainly use oni bane’s twin and I use the fire sword move I dodge a lot and I use Yakumo but I prefer Io because when you die you get massive health and I use alter yakumo’s blood code you could use Queenslayer but it would be good to use alter

Obliterator Axe with Fire Weapon is really good against this boss
This is the Anon that last posted about boss hp, I managed to get a video showing the entire fight and got a damage chain of 31433 Damage at one point, meaning this bosses hp is a minimum over 29k, this was a First playthrough so I can't be mistaken for it being enhanced, the link to the video is as follows watch?v=K_hsKmM3-9A, the boss fight starts at the following timestamp 14:00, to get to the Video, just go to youtube and c/p the /watch into the end of the URL

The Health of this Boss is Inaccurate, In a first play through I managed to get a damage chain of 42k plus change which ended and finished him with a hit of around 348ish, plus Update the health

first phase is a cake walk but then he just rocket packs all around the arena killing in 2 hits if you are lucky..... doesn't seem to be avoidable and of course if you choose to melee fight him he just does endless chip damage with the little quick jabs. they really messed up phase two and ruined otherwise a perfect boss...

One of the easier boss battles in the game. I used Dark Knight and Black Halberd in my NG+ run to take him down. He leaves big openings after many attacks to get in and do damage. Slap some fire on your weapon and go to town on him.

Huh, I think he has the Marvel leap that creates a giant ice earthquake around him in phase 2.

Having fast mobility in this fight is especially useful so don't hesitate to respec and dice him up civil war stye if you know what I mean. In phase two for example, you can dodge away from his first punch and just wait until he either goes for the headslam icicle combo (wait for the icicle, dodge into it and punish) or the ice sword (same punish). If you're slow rolling, you literally have to dodge every punch which gets risky.

After restore him pick Mia in your Group and visit him again talk to him two times that triggers another Clip

DO NOT KILL BREATH UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL FIONE BLOOD VESTAGES. There's a glitch with Invading Executioner where she won't drop the Fione vestage A after you go NG+, you have to save Nicola in your First playthrough on that character to be able to get the Fione blood code, learn from my mistakes if you want to get Fione blood code and the Acheivement for all blood codes.

As suggested, in Phase 1 I baited the head slam and punished him. The hard part was seeing it coming, since he only telegraphs it with a slight head tile backwards. As for the second phase, my strategy was to stand in front of him, just outside punching range to bait him into summoning an icicle to hit me. If you can get the timing down for that attack and roll through it, he'll be left wide open for plenty of melee attacks.

can you only restore his memory in his memory or can i do it later. it's my first time playing the game and i did not have all the crystals before i defeated him.
