How to Beat The Abyssal Warden

Defeat The Abyssal Warden, the first boss in "Mortal Sin." Learn its Phases & Attacks like Ground Slam and Sweeping Cleave, and dodge its powerful moves.

The Abyssal Warden is the first major boss you'll encounter, guarding the exit of the Shattered Citadel. He's a large, heavily armored demon with slow but powerful attacks.

Phases & Attacks:

1. Phase 1 (100%-50% Health):
   • Ground Slam: A telegraphed overhead slam. Dodge to the side.
   • Sweeping Cleave: A wide horizontal swing. Dodge backward or through him.
   • Summon Imps: Summons 2-3 Festering Imps. Prioritize these, as they can be annoying.
2. Phase 2 (50%-0% Health):
   • Gains 'Enrage' buff, increasing attack speed and damage.
   • Charge: Charges in a straight line. Dodge to the side.
   • Dark Orb: Fires a slow-moving dark orb that explodes on impact. Can be dodged or blocked.

Weaknesses & Strategy:

• Weakness: Vulnerable to Fire damage.
• Vanguard: Block his heavy attacks, counter-attack during his recovery frames. Use 'Shield Bash' to interrupt his 'Summon Imps' or 'Dark Orb'.
• Shadowblade: Stay mobile, dodge behind him for 'Backstab' opportunities. Use 'Poisoned Blade' for consistent damage. Prioritize Imps quickly.
• Arcanist: Keep your distance. Spam 'Fireball' and use 'Flamestrike' when Imps are summoned. Use 'Frost Nova' to create distance if he gets too close.
