As expected from the Soulslike genre, Lords of the Fallen it’s filled to the brim with immensely challenging boss fights that end dangerous quest lines. While you’ll participate in a simple boss encounter during the tutorial, the first real showdown you’ll have is with Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, who will test your reflexes and patience to prepare you for the tougher fights to come. Here are some tips on how to win.
How to beat Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal
When you’re ready to face Pieta, you first need to make sure you’re prepared by using up all the Vigor you’re carrying by leveling up on the nearest clue. Also, make sure you talk to the Iron Wayfarer just before the ladder leading up to the ramparts where you face the boss. If you’ve talked to him there and exhausted his dialogue, you’ll be able to summon him next to the boss door to help you fight. He’s great at staying aggressive and dealing a little extra damage, though you can expect him to wear off around the time you get to the second phase of the fight.
When you’re ready, engage Pieta and approach her. Her first phase is fairly easy, consisting mostly of slow, telegraphed melee combos that are easy to avoid once you’ve slowed down. She will, however, occasionally raise her sword for a moment, at which point you’ll have to wait a split second before dodging left or right to avoid a beam of high-damage Radiant magic. Otherwise, mourn her until you get her health down to around 70%, at which point she’ll stick her sword into the ground and start her second phase.
Pieta’s second phase is significantly more dangerous than the first, as she not only runs away and moves faster, but also adds a host of new attacks to her arsenal. Immediately upon entering the second phase, she will show off the first of these new attacks by heading to the back of the arena and flying in a straight line while raining Radiant Swords down the middle of the area. But the wait for this attack is long, so you’ll have plenty of time to move to either side of the arena to get out of her way.
During this phase, Pieta will also occasionally summon two additional Radiant versions of himself, which will choose one of three lanes in the arena to perform a shower sword attack. Make sure you place yourself in a free lane and face Pieta to make sure you are ready for her upcoming attacks. Similarly, she can summon Radiant Knights that will perform dash attacks and guided lightning on the ground that will chase you, so you’ll need to dodge these attacks quickly or risk taking significant damage.
The most important thing to remember during Pieta’s second phase is that it is unwise to attack her during any of her summon attacks or while she is in the middle of a combat combo. Instead, focus on dealing damage after she’s done the combo, with your best start being after she hits the ground, as she’ll be still for a few seconds afterwards. He’ll also have a decently long recovery animation after his dashing grab attack, so if you can dodge it, turn around and take a few hits.
Magic and ranged attacks can help you whittle down Pieta’s health, but due to how quickly she can close gaps, they’re best used if an Iron Traveler or co-op buddy gets her attention. Because of how much damage she does with each attack, you don’t want to get caught in the middle of throwing or throwing something.
Play defensively and keep exploiting Pieta’s opening to eventually take her down. After that, you’ll gain access to Skyrest, which functions as the game’s main hub.
