How to defeat God Serpent Rykard – Phase I.
After you enter the boss arena, you will at once notice a weapon being held by a corpse. This weapon is called the Serpent Hunter. You will need to equip and use this weapon to defeat this boss.
The best way to use this weapon is by using the “Ashes of War” mechanic. Use the weapon in two-handed mode and press L2 two times to deal with a powerful ranged attack. This particular combo will stun the enemy. The downside of this combo is that you cannot spam it. The serpent will spit venom, and you won’t be able to stun lock it.
In Phase I of this boss fight, the God Serpent has a few attack moves you’ll need to dodge. The primary attack of the boss is its slam attacks. The serpent will slam two or three times consecutively. Dodge when the serpent opens its mouth after slamming for the second time.
When the God Serpent’s health becomes extremely low, the lava surrounding it will rise. You will need to back to avoid it. After its health bar depletes, the second phase of the boss fight will begin.
How to defeat God Serpent Rykard – Phase II.
Head close to the boss as soon the second phase of the fight starts. Do not get too close to the boss as the lava surrounding it will rise. After moving forward, immediately start using the L2 attacks.
The boss in the second phase will use slam attacks with a weapon. Jump and dodge over the weapon when the boss sweeps it across the arena. After sweeping it two times, the serpent will execute a stabbing attack. Dodge as soon as the boss strikes the ground.
After the God Serpent’s health become low, it will come closer to you. The lava surrounding it will also rise. If the lava recedes, it will trigger a geyser of lava. You will need to keep a lot of distance and keep dodging to avoid this.
After a while, the sky of the arena will turn red, and the boss will start throwing flaming skulls at you. Dodge, run and use the arena space to avoid these skulls.
