How to Defeat the Blood Bishop

Study Blood Bishop's Moves

Outlaw Sharpshooter Attack Patterns
1 Volley
Blood Bishop conjures a volley of projectiles that all fly in the player's direction.
2 Blood Boils
Blood Bishop thrusts his tentacles into the ground and summons 4 boils that explode after a set amount of time.
3 Grab
Blood Bishop extends both his tentacles in an attempt to grab the player. If successful, this attack deals a significant amount of damage and heals the Blood Bishop for the amount of damage dealt.

Avoid Attacks

The Blood Bishop's attacks are relatively easy to telegraph due to their long wind-up animations. Focus on avoiding attacks as best you can to conserve HP potions and slowly whittle down his HP.

Don't Get Grabbed

The most punishing attack in the Blood Bishop's arsenal is his Grab attack. Not only does it deal a large amount of damage, it also heals the Blood Bishop for a significant amount. Avoid this attack at all costs.

Destroy the Blood Boils

Focus on destroying the Blood Boils whenever the Bishop summons them as this makes the fight much more manageable.

Use AoE Skills

Skills such as the Rogue's Barrage (As seen in the video) are effective countermeasures as they deal with all the boils simultaneously.
