Capra Demon | How to kill a boss

Description

Humanoid goat-headed warrior, armed with two large swords. His speed and hit power might be problematic.

Attacks and weaknesses

Capra is vulnerable to lightning. Demon has following attacks:

1) Horizontal swings - he swings from left to right and opposite, often in the sequence. You can block these attacks but if it is a longer combo, you'll run out of endurance.

2) Two handed hit - Capra raises his swords and hits straight ahead. This is mighty blow which can be blocked but at high cost. So it is best to jump aside or move away.

3) Heavy overhead swing - at some distance from you, the opponent performs the above hit and jumps onto your character.

Tips

1) Kill dogs - in this fight your main opponent are dogs. After killing them the fight becomes easier.

2) Try to avoid Capra's hits... - you can fight this demon one on one, although...

3) ...or apply tactics below - it is better to use the method with the stairs. Capra likes to follow you on the stairs on the arena. When he jumps from them, for a moment he is vulnerable for attacks - jump animation is very slow.

Tactics

You can fight this demon in several ways. As always we present the easiest method. After entering the arena, do as follows:

1) kill dogs as fast as possible - there are two of them in the arena. Despite the appearances, they are the main problem in this fight. To make it easier, run up the stairs on the left (avoiding Capra's hits) and then try to defeat the dogs there. If demon runs after you, jump from the stairs to the left.

2) After killing the dogs, operate with a simple schema: run up the stairs and wait until Capra follows you. When he goes up, jump to the left on the floor. He will do the same - attack him only when he is landing. Animation of this action takes so long, that you'll be able to hit him once or twice. Repeat this action until Capra is dead.

Step 1 - run to the arena and jump to the stairs on the left.

Step 2 - at the top of the stairs kill dogs (it is crucial!)

Step 3 - Capra will run on the stairs. Once he is close to you, jump to the left to the floor.

Step 4 - Wait until Capra jumps down and then attack him 2-3 times. Repeat this.
