How To Fight Last Judge

Tips that will hopefully make fighting Last Judge easier.

Boss Attacks

NOTE: I do not have photos showing the attacks, sorry.

Phase 1 Attacks:

• Jumps in the direction it is facing.
  
• Jumps and slams its bell into the ground.
  
• Brings its arm slightly back, then tosses the bell forward. It will then retract it.
  
• Makes a small circle with its bell (has a small orange trail), then makes a bigger circle around itself.

Phase 2 Attacks:

• Always does this first. Does a little "roar" and does the circle attack. (Circular fire trails will appear going outwards from its body.)
  
• Jumps and slams its bell. A slightly delayed trail of fire will appear on the ground.
  
• Does the Bell-Toss attack, it will explode with fire before being retracted.
  
• Takes a step back, then dashes forward. Pillars of fire will appear after a slight delay.

Phase 3 Attacks:

• Only does this once. Does the "roar" and then does the Fire + Circle Attack. It will last longer than normal.
  
• Regular Fire + Circle Attack, but with less space to avoid the fire. Not 100% certain on this.
  
• Does all the other attacks listed in Phase 2.

After the final strike, Last Judge will have a large circular explosion.

Tips For Surviving

Recommended Equipment:

Reaper Crest (From Greymoor)
Magma Bell (From Forge Daughter in Deep Docks)
Pollip Pouch (Earned from the Rite of the Pollip Wish)
NOTE: If you do not have the Pollip Pouch, use something else (such as Druid's Eye) instead.

For survivability:

Avoid using your skill. Save it for healing instead.
Magma Bell makes you take 1 damage instead of 2 from the Fire attacks.

Try to stay near the middle as much as you can. It is very easy to get stuck near the left or right side of the room.

Try to avoid jumping as much as you can. That way, you can focus on dodging left and right .

For the Bell Toss, try dashing away from Last Judge. (When the Bell is retracted, it still does 2 damage.)
In Phase 2, head even further away.

• If you're too close to a wall to head further, Cling Grip onto the wall until the explosion occurs.

In Phase 2, when Last Judge does the Dash + Fire Columns attack or the Bell Slam + Fire Trail attack, simply do a vertical jump to avoid it.

Healing:
Heal whenever you have the opportunity, if you're down 2-3 Masks.
In Phase 1, feel free to heal after the Bell Slam, or while waiting out the Circle attack.

In Phase 2, try waiting until the Bell Slam attack, the Circle attack, or the Dash attack. For the Bell Slam attack, activate your healing while in the air.

In Phase 3, do not heal during the initial attack.

Tips For Dealing Damage

When To Attack:

• After the Bell Slam (in any Phase), if you're directly next to Last Judge, you can strike 1-2 times before needing to dash away. If not directly next to Last Judge, either quickly strike once or stay away (as the Circle Attack will easily hit you if you're close).
  
• If Last Judge does a Jump, you can strike once if you're close.

---
If you find other opportunities to hit (without taking damage), feel free. These were simply the easiest openings I had for attacking.

Magma Bell is a life saver, I was looking for more ways to use it after the initial area but looked for too long without success so then I forgot about it...
