Stats / Weaknesses:

Poise: High (tough to flinch)
HP: Low
Weaknesses: Slow attacks, predictable patterns

Phases:

Phase 1: Recusant Henricus uses his standard attacks and abilities.

Strategy:

Location: Head north from the Warmaster's Shack Site of Grace, past the collapsed bridge, towards the large circular building to the east in northern Limgrave. He will invade as you approach.
General Approach: Recusant Henricus is considered one of the easier Limgrave invaders. Focus on avoiding his powerful attacks and punishing his openings. Do not overcommit to attacks.
Leap Strike: When Henricus leaps into the air to slam his hammer, roll *towards* him. This will place you behind him, leaving him vulnerable to attack.
Two-hit Combo: His standard hammer swings are powerful. If you block, they can drain your stamina. Dodge away from him to avoid both hits.
Flame Strike: Watch for fire on the end of his hammer. He will plunge it into the ground, creating a large plume of fire. This attack deals significant damage and leaves lingering fire on the ground. Keep your distance when you see fire on his hammer.
Punishing Openings: The best times to attack are after he misses his Leap Strike or after dodging his other slow attacks.
Reward: Upon defeat, Recusant Henricus drops the Hammer Talisman, which enhances stamina-reducing attacks against blocking enemies.
