Blood Bishop Bosses

In-Game Description

A massive Skeletal Necromancer, Blood Bishop uses Shadow and Blood magic to cast flesh pustules on the floor and can ensnare players in its tentacles.

Description

Blood Bishop is one of the easier bosses in the game due to its lack of attacks. It predominantly uses Shadow magic with some blood magic thrown in. Here’s a look at what attacks it has in its arsenal:

Elongated Arms - This is its basic melee attack. Blood Bishop will throw out both arms in front of itself, and perform a singular attack. Although it’s slow, it does have some range as the arms elongate from its body. Fortunately, it’s easily avoidable by moving away or dodging it.
Shadow Missile - If the boss isn’t using its melee attack, it’ll be using this instead. This is a simple projectile made of Shadow energy that will get flung your way. These are singular projectiles and can be effortlessly avoided.
Shadow Barrage - Shadow Barrage is the most difficult to avoid and can deal substantial damage to you if you get hit by every projectile. Blood Bishop will conjure up a cloud of purple smoke in front of itself before it unleashes numerous Shadow Missiles at your location. This attack somewhat has a homing function to it and will track your movement. The easiest way to avoid this attack is by running in a circle around the boss. If the missiles get close, use up a dodge to avoid getting hit.
Flesh Explosion - The Boss will plunge its appendages into the ground to form four pustules of flesh around the arena. After some time, these will explode, and deal damage. This attack should never hit you as you have plenty of time to destroy the pustules of flesh, or if you’re feeling lazy, move away from it. You can forget about this attack entirely.

From the attacks listed above, there is only one real attack to worry about, and that is Shadow Barrage. If you die, it will be most likely because of this. To make life easier, use a Shadow Resistance Elixir to negate some of its damage should you get hit by it. Other than that, pummel the boss, and move away/destroy the flesh pustules whenever they appear. The other attacks can be negated by your damage mitigation tools, or healed via potions or passives.
