BOSS: Death Crow, Light Antique x2 (2)

Master the Death Crow boss fight in Eternal Strands! Learn its attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to defeat it and its Light Antique companions.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Death Crow HP: 252,380
• Light Antique HP: 14,880
• Recommended Level: 26
• Weaknesses: Dark Special Attacks are highly effective, especially when the Death Crow is in sunlight.
• Positioning: Try to attack the Death Crow from behind, but be aware of its speed and range. Position Viola in the center of the arena for sunlight.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Death Crow and Light Antiques
   The Death Crow is large and has several powerful attacks like Intake (up to 2700 damage) and Curdle (over 2000 damage). It also has a quick two-hit physical attack and can use Sweeping from behind. The two Light Antiques are also dangerous with high DEF and strong attacks.
2. Phase 2: Death Crow Alone (Implied)
   If the Light Antiques are defeated, the Death Crow may continue its assault. If it uses Warder's Call to resurrect them, you'll need to re-focus on eliminating the adds.

Strategy:

• Dealing with Light Antiques: These smaller enemies have high defense and hit hard. Use Dark Special Attacks, like Allegretto's Phantom Wave, to take them down quickly. If the Death Crow resurrects them with Warder's Call, prioritize defeating them again.
• Attacking the Death Crow: The Death Crow floats, making it hard to hit consistently. Always try to attack from behind. Be mindful that even from behind, it's fast and has a long reach with wing attacks.
• Utilizing Sunlight: The Lento Cemetery area has very little sunlight. Position Viola in the center of the arena where there is sunlight to maximize the effectiveness of your attacks, especially Dark Special Attacks. The moving spirits are not a reliable light source.
• Recommended Skills:
  
  • For Dark Specials: Falsetto's Howling Thunder is excellent, especially when using Echoes.
  • Allegretto: Stick to Shadow Assault.
  • Viola: Use Heal Arrow for recovery and consider Hawk Eye or Sacred Strike for offense.
• Sustaining the Fight: This battle can take a while. Keep using Heal Arrow and recovery items to maintain your party's health. Patience and consistent healing are key.
