Blasphemous is world brimming with hellish creatures and enemies waiting to pass unholy judgment on their victims. Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow is one such enemy that has been taking players to task for their apparent transgressions. Defeating this boss hasn't been easy for players of The Stir of Dawn DLC.
Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow is one of the more technical boss fights in Blasphemous. This fight can be a challenge for players who aren't used to memorizing complex attack patterns or players who struggle to pay attention to multiple things at once. With a proper strategy, this boss can be a piece of cake. Here's how to take down the Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow in Blasphemous.
Defeating Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow in Blasphemous
This boss relies on a series of attacks that force the player to utilize the entirety of the boss room. The verticality of this fight is unique compared to the other Amanecida fights. One of the first attacks the boss will use involves filling the sky with arrows. Players can either find a spot in between the path of two arrows and try to stay safe or move out of the way entirely. The only issue with the second plan is that it can be easy to get hit by multiple arrows while trying to run. The other most common attack is a charged attack that involves one arrow ricocheting against the walls multiple times. Players will need to avoid the drawn path while the attack charges. This should be easy in its normal form.
The verticality comes from a charged attack that involves shooting a series of arrows at increasing heights. Players will need to climb either side of the boss room and cling to the wall. This attack may seem unavoidable, but if the player holds onto the very top of the wall until the moment before the final arrow is shot, they should be just fine.
After a significant amount of damage is done on the boss, their attack strategy will change up. This phase will involve a set of attacks that are made up of previous attacks, performed at the same time. The most common attack will be a combination of the overhead arrow attack and the charged ricocheting arrow attack. This will prevent the player from jumping out of the way of the arrows without falling prey to the drawn path. Players should pick a spot carefully. The bottom of the room is usually safe for the most part. Carefully avoid the path of the above arrows.
From there, the rest of the fight is a matter of dodging complex fields of arrows and getting attacks in wherever possible. This is a technically difficult fight, but as long as players are on their toes, they will be fine.
Blasphemous is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Linux, and PC.
