Attacks:

  • Ice Shards: Shoots multiple ice shards.
  • Ice Breath: Breathes a stream of ice.
  • Charge: Charges across the screen.
  • Summon Ice: Summons small ice blocks.

Weakness:

  • Fire.

Recommended Setup:

  • Weapon: Strongest weapon.
  • Bullet Soul: Flame Demon Soul (fireball, for elemental weakness) or Gergoth Soul (laser).
  • Guardian Soul: Merman Soul (improves underwater movement) is highly recommended.
  • Enchant Soul: Warg Soul (+STR) or Minotaur Soul (+STR).

Strategy:

Rahab is an underwater boss. The Merman Soul is almost essential for this fight as it significantly improves your movement speed underwater. Rahab's ice shards and ice breath can be dodged by swimming around. Its charge attack is telegraphed; swim up or down to avoid it. If you have the Flame Demon Soul, use it constantly for extra damage. Otherwise, focus on strong physical attacks. The underwater environment makes movement different, so practice navigating before engaging. After defeating it, you gain the Rahab Soul (Bullet), which shoots ice shards.
