Paladin | Boss Battles Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Paladin, round 1

Paladin - first round.

Basically, just as the rest of the mission, this boss fight is for training purposes - this is further emphasized by the fact that during this fight (and the whole first mission) you will have an constant, unlimited supply of Void and Chaos Magic and access to most of the skills. It will allow you to deal large amount of damage while being able to endlessly heal yourself by using Void Magic.

Attack the boss all the time, while trying to block (using synchronized block, if possible) his normal attacks and dodging his unblockable ones (remember, there will be a red flash before those kind of attacks). When his health drops to about 2/3, the battle will be interrupted by a cutscene.

Paladin, round 2

Final encounter with the Paladin.

This encounter is very similar to the first round you fought with the Paladin. The only difference is that, from time to time, the enemy will use one of his ranged attacks:

• By throwing a cutting edge at you, which will travel horizontally - to dodge it, you have to jump over it at the right moment. It moves slowly the first time he throws it, but it will travel a lot faster from now on. Don't try blocking it or jumping sideways, because you will be hit.
• By throwing a cutting edge at you, which will travel vertically - to dodge it, you have to jump sideways. Don't try to block or jump over it, because it's impossible to do so.
• By shooting his bow in the air - after a while yellow marks will start appearing on the ground, exploding few seconds after. It's easy to avoid taking damage, because all you have to do is to keep yourself away from the yellow marks on the ground.

Again, attack him all the time, avoid getting hit by his ranged attacks, block normal and dodge unblockable attacks and after a short while the fight will end and a long series of cutscenes will begin.
