How To Beat Simurgh?
| Strategy Points | |
|---|---|
| 1 | When attacking do not stay too close to enemies and focus on dodging. |
| 2 | For Witch Ladder, watch the timing closely and press R1 to dodge. |
| 3 | For Kingslayer, use Deadly Embrace to dodge. |
When Attacking Do Not Stay Close To The Enemy Too Much
Simurgh has a high ATK damage so you should maintain a safe distance to always be ready to dodge. During the whole fight, dodging should be the priority.
For Witch Ladder, Watch The Timing Closely And Dodge
Once it starts to shoot Witch Ladder, move to the side instead of front to dodge. If you aren't able to dodge it completely and your view is disturbed, press R1 once you see the wing to dodge attacks.
Kingslayer Can Be Dodged Using Deadly Embrace
Kingslayer is an attack where the enemy attacks using soundwaves from above. When hit it deals damage making it fairly difficult to deal with. From the sky you can dodge with R1 and for the wave, you can use Garuda's Deadly Embrace (◯ button when Garuda's selected) to jump high and dodge.
