Death Rite Bird (Mountaintops of the Giants) Mountaintops of the Giants Boss

Description

This boss will only spawn at night, so you may need to wait at a nearby Site of Grace before you can find it. This is a similar fight to the other Death Rite Bird bosses in Caelid and Liurnia of the Lakes, but it has more health and can inflict more damaging attacks. If you’ve fought either of the Death Rite Birds in the earlier regions, you’ll notice many of the same melee attacks here in the form of a sweeping slash, overhead slam, foot stomp, and a leaping stab. The boss will also use necromancy magic to generate an explosion. This will cast fire on the ground in a large radius, so you’ll need to stay back until it clears to avoid damage. Another magical attack is generated from its wings, during which numerous projectiles are fired from the wings as they begin to glow, landing in an area around you. You’ll be able to discern where the projectiles will land before they actually make contact with the ground by looking for white patches on the ground. So long as you avoid these, you should be able to evade most of the projectiles. Aside from all these attacks, the boss can also roar, inflicting a brief stun and minor damage, but this will only impact you if you’re directly facing the boss.
