Odon is worse than Isidora from the first game

[I'm not White, I'm Russian]

He has a huge amount of health, he deals great damage and there is only one safe window to beat him... What type of damage he deals? Mystical? Any tips on rosary beads to use?

He isn't that hard if you just know when to parry.
The sword with the mystic damage can kill him pretty quick

Well, what do we know about him? He throws big waves and is water-themed... so yes, of course his attacks are electrical. Like how a man made of toast is obviously a fire elemental, or a porcelain baby is obsessive collector lady-elemental. But enough of this silly "logic" talk.

I mean, he does sort of summon little lightning bolts along with his headless spearman allies, which was how I guessed it... but yeah. Clear as mud.

I would also recommend a parrying weapon, though I personally chose the rapier and dagger; the ability to dash-strike and charge up the lightning damage boost simply by landing a very easy parry against one of the summoned chumps, or a slightly trickier one against the boss himself, came in handy, I found. I also recommend the triple fireball spread prayer (quick prayer, that is), applied repeatedly to his face when you have some fervor and an opportunity.

His attacks can generally be avoided using the jumping and air-dash abilities you should have by this point in the game. Some can be parried (and countered) as well.

Additionally, once he starts casting his minion-shielding thing, he stops moving to focus on making his useless goons invulnerable for a while. The fireball spread knocked him out of this state, but stabbing the crap out of him with a lightning rapier did not - which was a great opportunity to take some vengeance on him for all the earlier attempts before I figured out his lightning-elemental water thing.

RIP, Odon of the Confrateration of Butt.

Odon is an awful boss (with the two worst mechanics in any typical boss fight; summoning minions & leaving the arena/becoming invulnerable to hits) and his level is so obviously filler.

If the game wanted me to switch my weapons to anything besides the mace. (I should be able to reset weapon stats/abilities. *And have access to the third weapon tiers of the other two weapons that aren't accessible. As far as I'm aware.*)

But I didn't really like *any* of the boss fights. So he's just the one I *also* didn't care to beat. The sound also kept bugging out in the boss room. So he'd not have any sound effects to his attacks.

I imagine trial-and-error would eventually win the day. Since he feels incredibly RNG in his move set. (As for tips, if anyone has gotten this far in - and isn't - using the fire magic attacks. Use them.)

I got sound for his boss fight, but no music. Been getting music cut-outs a lot, which is a shame since I enjoy the music in this series, along with the art... it's just a shame we have to put up with the gameplay to experience them.

...For instance, the music just randomly restarted as I was typing this with the game paused, from nothing.
