How to Beat Leonine Misbegotten
| Tips for Beating Misbegotten Crusader |
|---|
 Equip gear that increases your Holy damage resistance |
| Stay patient and wait for openings |
| Exploit Misbegotten Crusader's weaknesses |
Misbegotten Crusader can deal a lot of Holy damage due to its greatsword, which can be used to launch blasts from a distance. Make sure to equip gear that boosts your Holy damage negation to increase your survivability.
The Carian Knight's Shield is a great option to block damage due to its decent Holy defence stats. The Haligdrake Talisman will also be quite useful.
It'll be difficult to stay on the offensive in this fight due to Misbegotten Crusader's aggressiveness and its wide AoE attacks. Try to stay patient and wait for it to finish a moveset before attacking it. It will usually take a few seconds to recover after an attack pattern, giving you enough of an opening to strike it a few times before needing to back away.
| Weapon Type Weaknesses | |
|---|---|
| Slash Weapons | Fire Weapons |
Similar to Leonine Misbegotten, this boss takes increased damage from Slash and Fire weapons. Using these will make the fight easier and you'll be able to end it much quicker.
If you don't have these weapon types, you can also coat yours in Fire Grease or throw Fire Pots at the boss.
