Covetous Demon | How to defeat a boss

Covetous Demon.

The Covetous Demon is probably the easiest, and the ugliest, boss in the entire game. It's basically a huge, slimy worm, with a slight problem with his teeth. You can easily defeat him without suffering any injury - all you have to do is to focus.

Attacks:

• Tail - when you are behind the enemy, there's a chance that he's going to attack you with his tail.
• Rolling - when you are on the boss' side, he can use a rolling attack.
• Claw Attacks - the boss performs simple claw attacks whenever you are in front of him.
• Drop - if you are standing in front of him, he can raise his torso and drop slowly
• Swallow - if you are very close to the boss' head, he can swallow you and spit you out.

Victory!

Tactics:

The method to defeat this boss is fairly simple. During the whole encounter, you have to be on the boss' side - hit his torso and don't lead to a situation that you are fighting him face-to-face. As soon as the boss starts twisting his body, it means that he's preparing his rolling attack - all you have to do to avoid it, is to just sidestep or move away from him. Additionally, you can use your heavy crossbow to shoot down the vases located above you - a couple of prisoners will fall from them, attracting the boss' attention, which should give you a breathing room.
