How to Defeat Scourged Sister Delyth in Lords of the Fallen

Lords of the Fallen Boss Fight

As a Soulslike, you will face countless formidable enemies in Lords of the Fallen. Most of these you can dispatch with a few swings of the sword and a dodge roll or two, perhaps a parry thrown in for good measure, but then you have the bosses. These tough opponents take the challenge to the next level, and they test your mettle from the get-go. One such boss is Scourged Sister Delyth. You have no choice here; you have to fight her. Here is how to beat Scourged Sister Delyth in Lords of the Fallen!

How to Beat Scourged Sister Delyth in Lords of the Fallen

After reaching the Vestige of Chabui and climbing the ladders past the location where you find the Condemned Armor Set, on your way to Pilgrim’s Perch, you will work your way down to the main hallway of the temple. On your way, you’ll stumble upon a few minor enemies. They’re quickly dispatched with a single swipe, though.

But you’ll notice a boss health bar on your screen long before Scourged Sister Delyth walks up the stairs from the pool of murky water below. She’s a tough fight, with a few different attacks and spells. Here are a few tips to beat her:

  • Scourged Sister Delyth has two phases, with the first focusing on regular melee attacks. She’ll strike two to three times per attack phase, and you can dodge these relatively easily before hitting her opening.
  • In the second phase, Delyth will start spawning magic tornadoes that hone in on your position. You can dodge these by closing the distance and hitting the dodge action at the last moment. Otherwise, you risk the tornado turning and hitting you.
  • I found that, while dodging Delyth’s strikes, it was best to dodge forward toward her instead of away on her final strike. This action puts you near enough to land a few hits before she winds up for another attack.
  • Lastly, after attempting multiple tries, I found it best to fight her on the upper platform, where the bell, statue, and pillars are located. It’s a cramped environment but easier than managing with the stairs and water, which slow down your movements.

After you learn her move set and defeat Scourged Sister Delyth in Lords of the Fallen, you’ll walk away with the following:

  • Scourged Sister Flail
  • Scourged Sister Garb
  • Vestige Seed
