The spell-casting boss. After a while, an explosion will take place, which is why you need to hide in the well-lit chapel

Fighting the Worshipper is identical, throughout nearly all the stages. First, the boss will be throwing explosive skulls at you (if you keep your distance) or try wide swings with the axe (ac short range). Both of these attacks are easy to dodge and marked beforehand. Still, there is something else that you need to watch out for - as soon as the Worshipper raises the axe, to slam its handle against the ground, you had better stay out of range. It cannot be blocked and it stuns you temporarily (and after a while, you take a strong blow). As soon as the boss' health bar drops by a quarter, he starts summoning a violet aura around the arena (the Worshipper then stops attacking, kneels and traces his hand around). It is an important moment - you cannot block this attack, but know that it is lethal and encompasses the entire arena with its effect. You have several moments to hide inside one of the chapels. There is no point in attacking the boss, then, because the damage that he takes then is negligible. It is better to hide beforehand. Watch out for the monsters that he summons, which may push you out of the chapel, which means the necessity to start the battle over. After the powerful explosion, you can continue the battle. The situation will take place two more times. To sum up: watch out, mainly, for the stunning hits with the axe, to the ground, which are followed by a strong slash. You should be even more careful of the boss's special attacks, make sure that you are standing in the chapel, thanks to which you will not have to start over. Also, watch out for the minions that the Worshipper summons. They may push you out of safety.

During the fight, you can also utilize two tricks. The first one concerns the summoned opponents - for a moment before they appear, they are locked in a blue bone cage; if you reach it fast enough, you can destroy it in one strike, after which the Dwarf does not appear. The other one concerns the chapl. If you manage to lure the Worshipper near it, he may destroy it, inadvertently, with his weapon (he will be trying to hit you and will destroy the chapel instead) - you then lose one point of cover, but this leaves the Worshipper stunned for several seconds. It would be a sin not to take the opportunity.

After the battle, explore the Cemetery to find 4x Human Skull, and two notes. Also, remember to visit the portal [M2.#3] to claim your reward.
