·Multi-source verified (121/121)

Location: Olrox's Quarters

Recommended Level: 20-25

Recommended Equipment:

  • Weapon: Claymore, Jewel Sword, Alucard Sword
  • Shield: Knight Shield, Alucard Shield
  • Sub-Weapon: Holy Water, Cross

Strategy:

Phase 1 (Humanoid Form): Olrox will teleport around the room, casting fireballs and occasionally lunging with a claw attack. He's vulnerable during and after his teleportation. Use your strongest weapon and sub-weapon (Holy Water or Cross are very effective). Stay close and attack aggressively, but be ready to backdash when he lunges. His fireballs can be blocked with a shield or dodged by moving. Try to anticipate his teleport locations.

Phase 2 (Giant Demon Form): After taking enough damage, Olrox transforms into a massive, grotesque demon. He becomes much larger and slower, but his attacks are more powerful. He will primarily use a ground pound that creates shockwaves and a projectile attack. Jump over the shockwaves and attack his head, which is his weak point. The Bat form can be useful for dodging his attacks and getting in aerial hits. Continue to use your sub-weapons. This phase is about consistent damage and careful dodging.

Reward: Path to the Royal Chapel.
