In the computer game Dark Souls 3 there are a lot of difficult moments, levels and bosses that cannot be completed the first time without several attempts and tips. This article will talk about the Guardians of the Abyss of Dark Souls 3: where to find them, how to kill and other recommendations.
Boss story
The guardians of the abyss were created by a group of undead and called the Legion. They are followers of Artorias the Voidwalker. The Guardians swore allegiance to the soul of Wolf Blood, but over time its strength waned. At the moment, the guardians have lost their greatness and are not particularly dangerous. In addition, these characters were exposed to the fel of the abyss and are in the Farron Citadel.
How to find?
To find the Abyssal Keepers in Dark Souls 3, you need to get into a location called Farron's Citadel. Getting to the boss is not so easy - you have to explore the entire location in order to put out three lights at its different ends. Only after extinguishing will a stone barrier appear and open (you can find it next to one of the bonfires at the location). At the very end after the door there is a passage to the boss.
Battle progress
Like many boss battles, the battle with the Abyss Guardians in Dark Souls 3 consists of several stages.
First you fight with the first legionnaire - it is he who is the main opponent in this battle. Gradually, two more enemies with the same damage will appear in the arena, but the first one needs to be killed so that the victory over the boss counts. After passing through the first phase, the other two enemies will disappear, and the first will have a new type of attack and additional fire damage.
Battle tactics
To quickly defeat the Guardians of the Abyss in Dark Souls 3, you must adhere to certain tactics. Firstly, you need to prepare for battle a shield with protection against fire damage. At this point, you will already receive the Black Knight’s shield or the like - it’s perfect. The boss attacks can be interrupted, so try using a counterattack on him.
Secondly, you need to learn all the attacks of the enemy and remember in what sequence they are used. It’s more efficient to use long weapons against the Abyss Guardians in Dark Souls 3.
Third, the boss is too vulnerable to lightning damage - use this in battle. In the first phase, you can not fight with two other legionnaires, but wait until they all kill each other. However, the outcome may not please you, and opponents may even turn their attention to your character, so all the time spent will be in vain.
Hit when one of the opponents falls behind the general group. So you reduce the risk of multiple damage. Wait until the enemies switch to battle between themselves, and strike from the back. Counter-strikes are fairly easy to avoid if you memorize the boss’s movements.
In the second phase, the boss jerk is especially dangerous. The enemy’s sword leaves a trail on the ground that explodes - keep as far from it as possible. Roll over and strike again after the Keeper's attack. Only in this way will you be able to defeat the enemy with several attempts without spending many hours on it.
