The Hollow Crow fight in a nutshell
- To damage the Hollow Crow, you must attack Lucy. She is a specter that moves around the map.
- Lucy is immune to attacks as long as you stay in the realm of Axiom. You must tear out her true body with Soulflay or travel to the Umbral.
- You don't have to defeat other opponents! However, sometimes it is advisable, especially if there are a lot of them in the arena.
- After defeating Lucy, all enemies in the arena will die. The attack phase of the Hollow Crow will then begin. The slower ice spike attack always bounces off the environment, so watch your back when avoiding it.
- It's worth investing in weapons or salts that inflict burn status. Enemies are susceptible to this type of damage.
- Put on armor that provides good protection against frostbite. Don't exceed your weight capacity, as moving around the map fast is the key to defeating the Hollow Crow.
How to fight the Hollow Crow?
At the beginning, you should look for a bright orb. In the distance, it will appear to be this shape, but getting closer, you will notice it is Lucy's specter. If you see her screaming and shooting projectiles, it indicates that she is about to summon reinforcements. Before defeating Lucy for the first time, these will be regular mobs and hounds.
When you get close to Lucy, use the Umbral Lamp and the Soulflay skill. By staying in the Axiom realm, only then will you be able to hurt Lucy and the Hollow Crow.
With each stage, the longer the battle continues, the more the area of the icy storm created by the Hollow Crow will begin to grow. At the very beginning, it will only be on the edge of the arena. With each time you kill Lucy, it will cover a much larger area.
Once you kill Lucy, the boss's white health bar will disappear, as the enemies in the arena. However, after a while, the Hollow Crow will start attacking you with ice projectiles and spikes that will move around the arena.
Stand at the very end of the arena to have more time to react to the boss's attacks. Destroy the icicles that appear near you. They will significantly slow down your movements. Just perform a dodge at them to get rid of them.
After several dozen seconds of avoiding the Hollow Crow's attacks, Lucy will appear in the center of the arena with new reinforcements. There will be more of them now, and several mages will appear and shoot projectiles at your character. You can kill them, because they will make the fight against Lucy very difficult.
After defeating Lucy, you will have to avoid the boss's attacks again, so move to the end of the arena. Once you survive, you must kill the specter one last time to defeat the boss.
The last fight with Lucy and the Hollow Crow will be the most difficult because an enemy similar to Kinrangr Guardian Folard will be summoned to fight you. Move away from him and watch out for his ice wave.
After defeating Lucy's specter three times, icicles will appear all over the arena - be careful not to stand in the spot where they appear. Destroy them as soon as they appear. At the very end, when the Hollow Crow falls to the ground, run up to it and perform the final blow to win the boss fight.
