BOSS: Death Crow, Light Antique x2

Struggling with the Death Crow and its Light Antique minions in Eternal Strands? This guide breaks down their attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategy to win.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Death Crow HP: 252,380
• Light Antique HP: 14,880
• Recommended Level: 26
• Weakness: Dark Special Attacks are highly recommended due to the lack of sunlight.

Phases:

1. The Death Crow is accompanied by two Light Antiques.
2. The Death Crow has a variety of attacks including Intake (around 2700 damage unblocked, can hit multiple targets), Curdle (over 2000 damage), and a two-hit physical attack. It can also use Sweeping from behind.
3. The Light Antiques have high DEF and deal significant damage.
4. The Death Crow can use Warder's Call to resurrect a Light Antique.

Strategy:

• Position Viola in the center of the arena where there's sunlight, as sunlight is scarce in the Lento Cemetery.
• The Light Antiques have high DEF, so use Dark Special Attacks like Allegretto's Phantom Wave to defeat them quickly.
• If the Death Crow uses Warder's Call to bring back a Light Antique, immediately switch your focus back to eliminating the revived minion.
• For the Death Crow, prioritize Dark Special Attacks. Falsetto's Howling Thunder is particularly effective, especially when using up Echoes.
• Allegretto should use Shadow Assault, while Viola can focus on Heal Arrow and potentially Hawk Eye or Sacred Strike.
• Be prepared for a long fight. Consistently use Heal Arrow and recovery items to maintain your party's health.
• The Death Crow can attack from behind and has a long range, so even when attacking from its rear, be mindful of its quick movements and wing sweeps.
• After defeating the Death Crow, you'll receive a Thunder Stir.
• Second Playthrough Note: You can find an Odd Chocolate by inspecting the spot near the entrance.
