[spoiler]I hate this "king of blight"boss already

[mie001]

Why the hell this boss keep spawning enemies! And the long invincible frame when they spawn!
And they give you corruption wtf!? If I keep fighting then the game will keep harder, what's wrong with you dev!?
Turning a good boss fight into a flying fish beating game, yeah, really a good job

I had to use the big hammer spirit for this and spamming poison wizard for DoT while I fight off the fish. The boss itself is really weak and most the attacks are ground based so you can infinitely air attack it to death. The issue comes in having to fight off the adds fast enough that they don't overwhelm you. I'd also recommend the whirlwind spirit if you have it, great for staggering the adds right as they spawn for easy kills.

I didn't invest on whirlwind so I can't use it against this boss
I think a good timed big hammer can finish the fish

GOD AND THIS THING HAVE PHRASE 4 WITH A FULL SCREEN INSTA-KILL MOVE
To hell of this

You are just bad.

Aight calm down, YES this boss is horrible mechanic wise, but is really easy to cheese.
Use Elein's Last Rite to nuke boss and use Fellwyrm and the Flora tornado spirit to get good SP and stagger.
Use Silva's Last Rite to insta kill the fish fuccs.

[Zunde]

I used Fungal sorcerer and Fellmouth dragon keeping a constant cloud of poison on the boss and popping my SP attack for Umbral knight since the poison ticks rocket your bar up.

Boss is stationary so those two poison moves absolutely shred her and the blight balls she vomits out often are either dead or almost dead before they hover out of it.

This boss just needs a complete rework

Biggest gripe i had with it was the orbs in the last phase. I probably just suck, but it seemed like you could end up in a situation where it couldn't be avoided at all resulting in certain death.

[Copy & Cat]

Hilariously found him extra easy, used archer at point blank to instantly kill the fishes while i just was constantly airbone hitting him with melee spirits. For the orbs i can't really give any tips other than maybe using a burst for some invencibility frames if you are having trouble dodgin them

[SrCalavera94]

eh the boss dosent even have any atacks for when you are next to the core, if you have maxed spirits its easy to just spawn killed the fish with two active spirits and one rite, while also damaging the boss. Its actually a really easy boss, cant even really hit you.

You can use the invicibility frames of last rite if you end up in bad position as last resort, a good strat is maybe killing the first fase with a full charge ready just in case.

Right!? It literally can't even defend it's only weak spot, I have never encountered this in this type of boss fight.

General cheese strategy is this:
Set A: Dark Witch Eleine, Guardian Seigrid, Floral Sorceress
Set B: Dark Witch Eleine, Fallen Archer, Elder Crypt Keeper
Relics: Equip anything that increases your damage (the aerial+normal damage boosts), the thing that gives you a second SP bar, reduce your spirit cooldowns and increase your SP generation

Basically just spam your 4 normal spirits and use Dark Witch Eleine's Last Rite by overlapping yourself with the boss' core whenever you have an SP available (this causes all the fireballs to hit the boss to do a massive amount of damage). You can set a different spirit for a second set but I put Eleine on both so I didn't accidentally waste SP doing a less useful attack.

just focus on dodging the adds and making sure your last rites are lined up while mindlessly using the anti-air spirits. This boss isn't fun so I don't feel bad for cheesing it.

I did it with the hammer guy, whirlwind, and archer with a +health on kill relic. Even at level 2 or 3, these spirits work well on the fishies. It would probably be even better with the +stun relic.

Fish take priority over the boss. The boss isn't going anywhere, and most of its attacks are easy to dodge. Those fish orbs though, those little bastards.... grrrrr. But once they are stunned, they are free SP and health. Yeah, they spawn a lot. But you can hit the fish and the boss together while the fish are spawning.

Just hammer the boss, hitting any fish it spawns. Use your SP attack when a fish spawns if it is available, that should finish off the fish or at worst stun it on the floor while damaging the boss.

If you don't have SP ready, use whirlwind. It does a tiny amount of damage, but even at low levels it SHREDS stamina (including the boss' stamina). One whirlwind and one swing of the hammer and you've stunned the fish. Finish it off, and that should give you an SP attack for the next fish.

If any fish get away, an archer blast up close should finish them off.

Once all fish are gone, whack the boss until another fish spawns. Rinse, repeat.

For the orbs on phase 4, either time your charge to avoid most of them, use SP for invicibility frames, use the parry trinket, or use the mimic defender spirit. Takes a bit of practice, but shouldn't be too hard as long as there are no fish alive.

Bringing some gas spirits for phase 4 will speed it up. I like the gas dragon for phase 4: lots of damage, sp, and stamina loss.

Honestly not that bad even for phase 4 when I had no heals left but the witches busted last right kills it quick.
