How to Beat Nox Swordstress & Nox Priest

Tips for Beating Nox Swordstress & Nox Priest

Use a Great Shield and Guard Counter

If you have enough strength for it, use a Greatshield or even an upgraded Medium Shield with a high Guard Boost stat and use Guard Counters. This will deal a high amount of Poise damage to either target and you can stagger them rather quickly.

Focus Your Attacks on One Target

Prioritize eliminating one of the bosses to even the odds. Once you have it down to a one on one fight, the remaining boss will be much more manageable.

Use Spirit Summons To Split Aggro

Using a Spirit Summon will divide the attention of the Nox Swordstress and Nox Priest. While one is focusing on your summons, take that time to deal with the other boss.
