How to Beat Odon, the Father of the Forgiven

Learn how to defeat Odon, the Father of the Forgiven, in Blasphemous 2. This guide provides strategies and tips to overcome this challenging boss fight and progress in your quest.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Odon is vulnerable to aggressive melee attacks.
• He has a slight weakness to the Ruego Alado (Winged Sword) weapon.
• Parrying his attacks can open him up for critical hits.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Odon primarily uses sweeping sword attacks and a lunging thrust. He will also summon spectral projectiles.
2. Phase 2: Odon becomes more aggressive, chaining attacks faster and introducing a powerful area-of-effect (AoE) slam. He may also perform a rapid series of dashes followed by an attack.
3. Phase 3: In his final phase, Odon combines his previous attacks with a new devastating move: a charged beam attack that sweeps across the arena. He will also increase the frequency of his AoE slam.

Strategy:

• Maintain a medium distance to react to his lunges and sweeps. Dodge through his sword attacks rather than away from them to stay close.
• When he summons spectral projectiles, either parry them or quickly dash to the side to avoid them.
• During his AoE slam, the safest bet is to jump and then double-jump to clear the impact zone.
• For the charged beam attack, identify the direction of the sweep and position yourself accordingly, or use a well-timed dash to evade.
• Punish Odon after he completes an attack combo or misses a powerful move. Focus on landing a few hits and then disengaging to observe his next move.
• If using the Ruego Alado, prioritize quick combos when an opening appears.
• Consider using prayers that offer brief invincibility or damage buffs to create more favorable engagement windows.
