How to Beat Lachlann of Endless Lament

Tips on Beating Lachlann of Endless Lament



Avoid Chilled and Hindering Ground

Lachlann Ice Ground

Players should avoid the chilled and hindering ground left by Lachlann's spirits. Stepping into them applies a DoT effect and slows down players, leaving them vulnerable to Lachlann's other attacks.

Avoid His Soul Rise and Dive Attack

One of Lachlann's most disrupting and damage-dealing attacks is when he commands souls to rise up from the ground players are standing on and makes them dive back down onto them, slowing and dealing considerable damage to the latter.

As such, players should prepare to dodge once they see Lachlann casting the spell and dodge roll away from their spot as soon as they see green light gathering on the ground. This tip applies when the souls are rising and diving.

Dodge to the Sides for His Ground Wave Attack

Another of Lachlann's devastating attacks is its ground wave attack, which can take out a chunk of the player's life. To dodge it, players must dodge roll laterally once Lachlann's right arm is above his head.

Dodge to the Sides for His Arm Slams

Whenever Lachlann is about to slam the ground in front and at the back of him, players can either dodge to the side of the attack or toward Lachlann's side to avoid damage. Each slam can deal heavy damage and put players in a life-threatening situation.
