① = Open up the shortcut to the left.
② = Silksoar up and rest on the bench at the top.
6

9
Defeat Skarrsinger Karmelita to obtain the Hunter's Heart.

How to Beat Skarrsinger Karmelita

Skarrsinger Karmelita Boss Fight Tips

Use Pale Nails and/or Cogfly

Since Skarrsinger Karmelita constantly moves around during the fight, the target-seeking mechanic of Pale Nails and Cogfly increases your chances of hitting her as she moves around.

In particular, Cogfly also allows you to passively deal damage as you dodge attacks.

Do Jump Attacks

Most of Skarrsinger Karmelita's attacks happen on the ground and cover a large portion of the arena, leaving you with little to no space to run. The best way to deal with these attacks is by performing jump attacks as she does her attacks. This allows you to dodge her attacks and deal damage simultaneously throughout the fight.

You may only get a few hits with this strategy, but the important thing is you're able to dodge her attacks.
