Phases:

1. Phase 1: Ground Assault - Sapientia attacks with sweeping arm swipes and energy blasts. It will also summon smaller angelic enemies.

Strategy:

• Dodge Sapientia's sweeping attacks by jumping or using Witch Time.
• When Sapientia rears up to attack, use the opportunity to run behind it and attack its weak point.
• In Phase 2, focus on dodging the aerial attacks and waiting for Sapientia to dive. Use Witch Time to get in multiple hits on its exposed weak point.
• Utilize Bayonetta's aerial combos to maximize damage when Sapientia is vulnerable in the air.
• If overwhelmed by smaller enemies, use a Wicked Weave attack to clear them out quickly.
• Save your Witch Time for when Sapientia's weak point is most accessible.
