Punish with a thrust

Wait for a missed grab or the end of the combo, then land a thrust. Fire and projectiles are also options during its recovery.

Dodge the grab

Do not rely on a shot to interrupt its grab. Avoid its binding projectiles before attacking: defeating the boss does not restore stolen Insight.

  • Fire and Bolt damage taken have an additional ×1.5 multiplier. These bonuses apply on top of the elemental defense comparison.
  • Chalices do not follow the NG cycle. Root base values must be multiplied according to depth, layer and rites; they do not describe a specific fight.
  • A defense is a calculation value, not a damage reduction percentage. A Poison resistance of 999 does not imply immunity.
