Smelter Demon Boss Strategy and Attack Patterns
Take Continuous Damage Depending on the Boss's State
The boss's flames gradually change in amount and color, and accordingly, your character will also burn and start taking continuous damage. When it's enveloped in blue flames, you will continuously take damage even at a distance, so pay attention to managing your HP. After dealing a certain amount of damage, the boss's flames will extinguish, and the continuous damage will also stop.
| Boss's State | Damage Range |
|---|---|
| Only Body Ignited | No continuous damage |
| Sword Ignited | Continuous damage at close range |
| Mix of Red and Blue Flames | Continuous damage at close range |
| Only Blue Flames | Area-wide continuous damage |
Focus on Attacking from Behind
The Smelter Demon often uses forward sword attacks, so you are less likely to take damage if you are behind it. When attacking, always try to get behind it.
Downward Slash Attack's Flames Reach Far
With the Downward Slash attack, flames extend in a straight line. Even if you are far away, it can still hit you so quickly dodge to the sides when it's going to hit you.
