3. The boss is vulnerable to bleed, so if you have sorceries, incantations, or a weapon that induces bleeding, equip and use them. Consider getting a supply of multi-use items, such as Kukri.
4. Maintaining safe distance from the opponent is very important during this fight. , especially because of his fast and far-reaching attacks and the orb attack, which is possible to avoid if you have enough time.

6. As the second phase begins, Godskin Apostle's spells have an extended range and he uses more powerful black flame spells.
7. The second phase starts as the enemy becomes airborne, creating a powerful explosion around him. When you see the Apostle beginning the second phase, quickly run away.

How to defeat?

To prepare yourself better for the encounter, equip a weapon or spells that induce bleeding. The boss has a low resistance to this status, so you will be able to deplete his health bar very quickly.

Under no circumstances should you try to replenish your health or mana when you are close to the boss . In most cases, the enemy will respond with casting a black flame orb that is impossible to avoid in close range. If you're away, you can manage to dodge as the healing animation concludes

When it comes to melee attacks, the boss performs a short combo consisting of a few hits - in that case, let him attack and avoid incoming blows. As soon as his combo end, start attacking or or fire magic projectiles at him.

When his health drops below 60%, stay away, because then he will start to rise into the air, creating a powerful shockwave that will push you back and deal a lot of damage.

From that moment on, the boss gains the opportunity to extend his body . You should then stay away from it. His black flame attacks are lethal. Also, when one part of his body gets longer, his whole body will move there with further impact animations. Therefore, wait for a good moment to attack.
