Cerberus is frying me please help.

[Kpta]

New to the game here. Trying to kill the doggy but he insta kills me so fast with his fire breath attack that i can't even see how much damage i am taking u.u
Defense stat is at 80, meaning all his fast attacks only really hit for 1 damage.

[Kpta]

Got it. Damm thing was dealing 197 damage. i had 200 health. u.u

Get some upgrades for health, and the +health potion (along some heal potions). Use the shielding protection spells right before the breath hits to mitigate the damage, use heals and potions after the breath to top your health up again, he usually doesn't spam the breath so you have a little time to heal up.
(Also I found it useful that the medicinical herb itself has a seperate cooldown from heal potions, that's another 20 health every 8 seconds in emergencies)

You might want to do a couple of retirements to get that health up, there are several potions and spells that can help with this.
Usually when you hit a wall like this, it is an indication that you are not ready. So either you spend a long time building up or be overall more effective and retire a few times getting some more unlocks and tools in that box to help you out next time.
Advancing through the stages will be piece of cake later on.

you can also go "Total Defense" on the guy as it's not that powerful outside of one attack.

Even with total defense, it's still not an easy fight. Then again, I haven't tried it with a Greater Defense Potion yet, so that's probably what I'll try next.

Welp, i'm use a all potions type even mana regen one, having silver staff + gold infused plate + large shield. When he starts cast cone of fire i'm use a safety wall and reduce damage to 100 hp,Make around 22hp potions.He can cast cone of fire like 2 times with 3-6 sec limit and after that he waited around 10-15 sec again.Also i'm have 220hp.And like others say use not only hp potions but berries and medical herb too.

Ah, I'm dumb, I confused Cerberus with a different boss. Cerberus was hard, but manageable. Sergio's method above is really good, so I recommend that.

See my post about defeating the dark knight. That’s the build I used for Cerberus. Boss did effectively zero damage to me until he started using his flame attack. Just keep your health up at that point, it’s almost over.

If your having trouble with any boss, I have one thing I've learned. Are you using all the Illusion spells you can? Because both the buffs & debuffs can both really upset the mechanics of any monster or boss. When combined with Protection things can get downright devastating if you've got the mana for it.
