How to beat Hoarah Loux, Warrior in Elden Ring

Optimizing Your Approach

While reaching level 140 can offer an advantage, mastering Hoarah Loux's attack patterns and employing effective tactics are paramount. Focus on fortifying your physical defenses by equipping heavy armor with high negation. Consider your preferred combat style when selecting weaponry, but prioritize slash damage as Hoarah Loux exhibits lower resistance to it. Lightning-infused weapons are also a potent choice.

Strategic Summoning (Optional)

Completing specific side quests within the game grants the opportunity to summon Nepheli Loux and Shabiri as companions for this fight. Their presence can be a valuable asset, drawing Hoarah Loux's attention and creating openings for decisive attacks.

Dissecting the Dual Phases

The encounter unfolds in two distinct phases:

Phase 1: Godfrey, the First Elden Lord - Godfrey unleashes a series of devastating axe attacks. Learn the timing of his sequenced axe swipes and dodge towards his opposite side for each strike.  His stomp attack generates a cone of spikes – a well-timed jump effectively evades this threat.  Godfrey's most potent attack involves a vertical axe slam followed by a ground-shattering explosion.  A backward or sideways dodge ensures your safety from the shockwave and erupting spikes.

Phase 2: Hoarah Loux, Warrior -  Hoarah Loux's offensive repertoire incorporates two noteworthy attacks:

Scream Attack: This disrupts your balance but inflicts minimal damage. Regain your composure swiftly.

Massive AoE Attack (Low Health): Triggered when Hoarah Loux's health dwindles, this attack involves a slamming fist motion that creates a large explosion. Maintain distance and be prepared to dodge outwards to avoid the brunt of the attack.

Combat Strategies for Success

Aggressive Mobility: While heavy armor offers protection, consider a balance that allows for strategic movement. Aggressively exploit openings after successfully dodging Hoarah Loux's attacks.

Mastering the Dance:  Hoarah Loux's attacks exhibit clear tells. Observe his movements and react accordingly. Prioritize staying safe over excessive offensive actions.

Utilizing Consumables:  Employ buffs like "Flame, Grant me Strength" or healing items like Estus Flasks to enhance your performance and sustain yourself throughout the battle.

Staggering Your Opponent:  Focus on heavy attacks or weapon arts that can stagger Hoarah Loux, interrupting his attacks and creating valuable opportunities to inflict significant damage.

Hoarah Loux, Warrior, demands a well-honed skill set from Tarnished warriors. Therefore she remembers that persistence is key to overcoming this challenging encounter. She analyzes her attempts, learns from each encounter and refines her approach. With focus and perseverance, you will emerge victorious against Hoarah Loux, warrior.
