The Lost Brothers - The Keystone Citadel | Bosses Lords of the Fallen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

When the Brothers are, temporarily, fighting side-by-side, it is better to stay away.

After you return from the Temple (after you talk to Adyr), you will be automatically carried over to the Citadel. After you enter the first bigger chamber (Flooded Chambers) you will be attacked by the boss. Or two, to be exact - in theory, at least, because the brothers take turns while fighting and they both remain in the battlefield together, only for a short moment. However, this means that you need to defeat two opponents, which is going to make the battle tougher and longer. The weapon that you receive is different, depending on the order, in which you defeated the brothers.

Attacks

Avoiding the first attack in the chain (the attack of the "lightning" brother) gives you a perfect opportunity to attack the back of the opponent.

- paw attack - both of the brothers take a swing and they attack with the talons. In the case of the fire brother, it is a single attack, which usually is followed by fire-belching. As for the other boss, he performs these blows a bit differently, in small series. Avoiding the first blow provides you with a perfect opportunity to land several blows into the back, because the opponent pushes ahead, in his rage and he pays no attention to where you are.

- fire belching - only in the case of the fire brother. It usually occurs after the paw attack. The boss either belches fire towards you, which deals quite a lot of damage, or spits fire onto the ground around himself, which makes his attack easier to avoid.

- lightning bolt - a piece of cake to avoid, the boss shoots charged electric sphere, towards you. The attack is signaled beforehand and it is used only if you are within a considerable distance of the opponent, thanks to which you will easily dodge the attack.

- jump up towards the ceiling and a drop attack (flames or electrocution) - this attack takes place when the brothers switch. One of them is hanging down from the ceiling, whereas the other one jumps in and hangs down in a different spot. Then, both of them drop and deal AoE damage (flames or lightning). After the switch takes place, the opponents fight together, which is why it is better to steer clear of the, for a moment.

- forward jump and AoE attack (flames or electrocution) - this attack is similar to the one above, but the difference is that it is performed by one opponent, at a time. While you are staying at a certain distance of the boss, he jumps towards you and, while dropping, he strikes with an AoE attack, which affects the ground around him.

Tactic

The fire belch is the attack that deals the most damage. However, it creates the opportunity, for you, to circle the enemy and deal damage to him, from behind.

Fighting the Brothers may terrify you, at first, but they come in three turns and remain in the arena, together, for a short moment. At first, one of them jumps up and hangs himself under the ceiling - this is the one of the opponents that you hit in the first place. Then, for a moment, you will be fighting only one of the bosses, after which they take turns again (a jump towards the ceiling and a drop with an attack). Then, for a short moment, the opponents fight hand-in-hand so, it is best to refrain from attacking, so you are not caught between the two. A much better solution is to circle the arena, briefly, and wait for one of the bosses to hang himself under the ceiling. Fighting only one of them is a bit easier, but remember that the brother are a bit different from each other. It seems that the one that keeps casting lightning spells is a bit easier to defeat - they deal less damage and are easier to dodge. Additionally, after you avoid the first claw attack, it is very easy to attack his back, because he continues his attacks ahead, and not towards you. The brother with the fire attacks is much more demanding, due to his attacks that are difficult to dodge. They also deal more damage. You should try to attack after you dodge the claw attack, of while he is belching fire (try to run around the opponent and get him from behind). After you defeat one of the brothers, the one that stays alive, takes over the entire repertoire of the other one's attacks. That is why you should watch out for the entire array of these. To sum up: first of all, pay attention to the "fire" brother, because his attacks deal more damage. When they take turns, (both of them hanging down the ceiling), they will be fighting together, temporarily. Do not try to attack then and run a bit around the arena. While fighting, it is a good idea to use a shard, which decreases your vulnerability to fire. Thanks to this, the fight becomes much easier.
