The battle with the Annihilator | Chamber of Lies Lords of the Fallen Guide

When the opponent throws his hammer your way, dodge the attack and run up to him.

The Annihilator's attacks are very powerful but, they are easy to dodge. Especially the moment, at which he throws his hammer towards you, which creates a perfect opportunity to land several strikes. The easiest way to fight him is over the range. This means that, for the majority of the battle, you should remain at a certain distance of the boss and circle him. This way, you will avoid his powerful attacks that are quite fast and encompass quite an area. The boss will then attempt, mostly, ranged attacks and you should await the moment, at which he throws the hammer, and waits for it to return. More or less, halfway into the battle, he will also attempt a stunning attack and then, attacks with lightning. Again, remain at a safe distance, thanks to which you will still have a moment to avoid his attack, after the stunning one (move around the semicircle, while escaping from the lightning bolt). Additionally, you can improve this process, by wearing a lighter armor, thanks to which your speed becomes even greater and avoiding the attacks, and dashing towards the boss, becomes a piece of cake. Do not even attempt to fight at close quarters, because you will, most probably, be incapable of blocking (and also dodging) all of the attacks. To sum up: throw off some of the gear that you are wearing and remain in constant movement, circle the Annihilator. The best moment to attack is when he is waiting for his hammer to return to his hand, after he throws it. When his health drops to a half of the initial value, so watch out for the lightning - the damage dealt by this attack is not as high as that from physical attacks, but you can lose quite a few health points, if you stay within range for too long.
