Secret Ways to kill Lords & Acquire Legendary Loot

A compendium on the different secret ways to kill Lords. When you kill a Lord in a special way, you get a legendary piece of loot. The legendary piece is similar to the normal loot you would get, but is more powerful and has a magical ability.

First Warden

Kill him without taking any damage. An easy way to do this is with the Warrior's starting shield. It blocks 100% physical damage. You'll only have to dodge when he slams the ground with his sword, as it's unblockable. Be prepared that this will take a few tries. Be patient and keep your spacing, and you'll pull it off.

You'll be rewarded with a legendary version of Persistence. When you 1H heavy attack, it will send out a shockwave from the sword, similar to what the First Warden uses against you in the boss battle. Note that this uses some of your mana.

Commander

Kill him without blocking a single attack: don't block with either a shield or a weapon. Do not block his summons either!

You'll be rewarded with a legendary version of the Commander Shield. When you use the Tower Shield's special defense ability, and you have enough mana, it will send out three ghostly shields to damage foes.

Worshiper

The trick to getting the legendary weapon off Worshiper is having him kill two of his own minions. This will take a fair bit of maneuvring, and a Prayer spell will come in handy here. Just circle him closely - his sweeping attacks will likely hit a Minion if it is close.

Another easy way to get him to kill his own summons is to wait until he summons them, then quickly damage him past the quarter threshold to get him to use his arena-wide 1 hit kill magic. This will take out the summons instantly, even if they're in a sanctuary with you.

He will drop the legendary Clawfinger scythe (classed as a Greataxe). Its 1H heavy attack will make a spike (like the one Worshiper creates) appear from the ground some distance in front of you. This will use some of your magic energy.

Infiltrator

This is an easy one: just kill her before the lanterns at the top of the room light up. One way to get a lot of damage in if you have a good weapon, is to let her heal on the larvae and whilst she's in the animation, keep hitting her. You should be able to rack up a high amount of damage on her.

The reward for killing her quickly is the legendary Uras polesword. You cannot 1H this weapon. When you 2H heavy attack, you'll leave a misty red stain on the floor that will heal you whilst you stand in it. This will consume some of your magic energy.

Champion

To get the Champion's legendary weapon, you have to make sure he doesn't go into his rage-mode other than the two times when you knock his health past the 2/3 and 1/3 threshold. An easy way to do this is to make sure you can fast-roll and simply dodge or maneuver out of the way of his attacks. Do not block his attacks, and this will cause his rage-meter to build.

When you kill Champion without having him rage more than necessary, you'll get the legendary Fists called Sting. When your health goes low, these will start burning for extra damage.

Beast

Do not get poisoned.

Guardian

Do not knock over any of the fire goblets by charging them with your shield.

(To be updated.)

Annihilator

Deliver the killing blow with a lightning-based weapon (such as Yetka's Dagger).

(To be updated.)

That's all I've got so far. If you've found other secret ways to kill bosses, please share in the comments!

how to fast kill the beast: lock onto the target(leg), attack him until he staggers, the target lock will switch to the beasts head(or you will have to do it manually, i prefer activating the target switch after kill in the settings/options)after the beast staggers target switch to its head, you will take massive amount of dmg compared to body hits on the beast, do this 4-5 times and ur done without the beast getting any chances to counter.

[The Christopherous]

The first warden also has an attack where he shield bashes you and then swings which cant be blocked as you will take damage due to the stagger

[Nobodies]

Does purple Uras is obtainable?

[SecretAgentKiiN 特务健]

Beast behave more aggressive now, any new tips to defeat this CREATURE?

[BloodyTiger]

Follow the guide please :P

[sorTerror]

You can kick the goblets and still won the weapon i think it works too or maybe just run around the arena when he starts to shoot you

Just curious, does anyone know what you get from beating Judge without letting his minions die from his flame rays? I have beaten him twice now, as far as I can tell, I didn't get anything from doing this. I got the balance ending the first time, and the second, I gave the Adyr stone to the weapon smith, and neither time did I let Judge hit the minions, I stayed back when he went for his ray attack, near the base, and on the third ray, Id run out, to make sure he didn't just attack his minions himself, so once I beat him, I didn't see anything added to my inventory. Are you also supposed to prevent him from healing at all? I don't get it.

P.S. "Lightning-based weapon" is not really correct. As long as it has any lightning element damage in the damage stats it should work to kill Annihilator.

[SundownKid]

Killing Guardian without knocking over the goblets gives you the legendary Firewalker shortsword that converts most of its damage to fire (though apparently unlisted in the damage stats).

Killing Annihilator with lightning weapon (upgraded Heirloom is also a suitable weapon) gives you the legendary Lightning that boosts 2 handed leaping attack.

Killing the Two Brothers always gives you a legendary, but you have to kill both of them last to get both legendaries. (Though right now it can be in different playthroughs and it won't make a difference).

Illarox; There is an agility Staff right before the boss that does lightning damage, called Unity. You do have to assemble it from parts tho. There is an excellent guide on how to get it here on steam. Or you can use Heirloom, a faith mace from the Catacombs, that when upgraded on a certain coffin can deal every elemental kind of damage.
