Great game but F you Eviterno for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ balance.

[Ashkandi]

Game was great until you hit a damn wall you just can't beat. So sad that you screwed up the game with the inconsistent balancing.

Eviterno is hard but beatable, the real problem with Eviterno is the unskippable cutscenes at the start and between phase 1 and phase 2, I almost dropped the game because of this annoyance. They've made this mistake on the first game and now made the same mistake again on the second, seems like the devs haven't learned a thing from their mistakes.

You can do what I did and use double jumps to attack with the downward sword move (sorry, forgot its name). I tried it with other strategies as well, but the results were too inconsistent for me (couldn't find a prayer worth using either). I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do it.

*I've used rapier through fight, so i had harder time durning first phase, since aerials on rapier are harder to land.
Stack elemental resistances against magic, use any good anti-air attacks on first phase. You can use the summon prayer, so he will attack when you can't. When he casts orbs barrage, you can deflect green orb. If it lands - he will drop to the ground and be stunned for a while.
Durning sword phase, interestingly, rapier is really strong. Dash slash attacks and give you i-frames, which allow you to attack, while avoiding his combo attacks. If you have faster dodge altarpiece, it's even better. For me it was one of the easiest fights the moment i figured out you can dodge all of his attacks with dash slash.

Or just get a time stop and be like every other guy who say game is easy. Spam flail and time stop till victory.

For the second half of his second phase, use the time-stop prayer that you can get from the cursed letter questline you can start in, iirc, city of wakes.
Anyhow, use it and the flail, sneak in a hit now and then but mostly play evasive, then when you've got enough fervor to use the prayer, pop it during an opening to wail on him proper.

I assume the fight is balanced around you having most health upgrades and such around this point.

Edit: Didn't realise that this is apparently the cheese method for him, I just like the flail and figured the time-stop prayer was great for extending vulnerability periods.

Yeah the sudden spike in difficulty was a sour end to the game unfortunately...

[Nanna]

This boss is so freaking annoying. I have to make a lot effort that i don't quit this game to this.

[fakename]

I had to use the time stop spell to win. His pattern isn't that hard, but he's faster than the other bosses for sure and missing your timing on certain moves incurs huge damage.

Imagine having to spend 10 tries to learn a boss fight.

Its crazy i know.

Your brain is fried from all the garbage mainstream games made for babies mate.

It isn't about the tries. I tried some Nioh bosses 60+ times without much trouble.

It's the stupid unskippable dialogue and the sudden jump in difficulty that's questionable.

I beat him tonight. Used rapier both phases, 2nd phase is all dodging

[lançamisio]

if you're having a hard time with eviterno and just want to "skip" through, here's how to do it: take all fire damage and fervor regen altarpieces you have, take the time stop prayer, ignite your veredicto and just spam the downwards attack, and repeat. you're welcome.

[NYuKeM]

Eviterno is quite easy once you've learnt his movement pattern. I used Ruego Al Alba with max weapon strength.

Actually an easier way to beat the boss is by using the time stop chant if you've found it.

[Saberone]

use time stop chant and down attack with veredicto. easiest fight lmao

[Ashkandi]

Beaten it after collecting all the ♥♥♥♥ i could, health, potion upgrades, mana upgrades, stopping time every 10 seconds and stuff.

Still a huuuuge difficulty spike with a boring intro and phase1.
