How to Beat The Possessed Doll

Struggling with the Possessed Doll boss in Judas? Get a step-by-step guide on its weaknesses, attack patterns, and the best strategies to defeat it quickly and efficiently.

Alright, so you've made it to the Possessed Doll, huh? Don't let the creepy vibe get to you; this boss fight is all about learning its patterns and knowing when to strike. We'll get you through this!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Holy Attacks (Holy Cross, Holy Abilities)
• Resistances: Unholy Attacks
• Vulnerability: Can be stunned after dodging certain attacks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Initial Assault
   The Doll starts by hurling cursed dolls and other projectiles at you. It will also perform a quick, lunging melee attack. The key here is to keep moving and dodge. Use your Holy Cross ([B] button) to chip away at its health and try to create openings.
2. Phase 2: Desperation
   As its health drops, the Doll becomes more aggressive. It will start summoning smaller possessed dolls to attack you simultaneously and its projectile barrages become more frequent. This is where dodging becomes critical. If you successfully dodge a series of its attacks, it might become briefly stunned, allowing you to unleash a powerful combo.
3. Phase 3: Final Stand
   In its final moments, the Doll might unleash a devastating area-of-effect attack. Keep your distance and be ready to dodge. Continue to use Holy attacks whenever possible.

Strategy:

• Prioritize dodging over blocking. The Doll's attacks are often telegraphed, and a well-timed dodge ([Right Analog Stick]) will not only keep you safe but can also create an opening for you to attack.
• Use your Holy Cross ([B] button) frequently. It's your most reliable source of damage against the Doll and helps build up its stun meter.
• When the Doll is stunned, don't hesitate! Close the distance and unleash your strongest combos using [X] and [Y] buttons.
• Keep an eye on the smaller dolls it summons in later phases. While you want to focus on the main boss, don't let yourself get overwhelmed by the adds. A quick sweep with your light attack ([X]) can clear them out.
• If you've unlocked any Holy Abilities, now is the time to use them! They deal significant damage and exploit the Doll's main weakness.

You've got this! Just stay calm, focus on dodging, and keep the pressure on with your Holy attacks. You'll be past this creepy thing in no time.
