Boss Fight: The Mad Alchemist

Your guide to defeating The Third Lamb in Salt and Sanctuary. Learn its weaknesses, attack patterns, and how to overcome this former hippogriff.

Alright, let's talk about the Third Lamb. This fight can be a bit of a surprise, especially after dealing with the Untouched Inquisitor. You'll find the Third Lamb guarding the path to the Luna Sage, and unfortunately, there's no way around it. This poor creature, formerly known as Kinoa, was once a proud hippogriff protecting pilgrims, but the Inquisitor twisted her into a thrall.

The Third Lamb is tough, especially against strike and poison damage, so don't rely on those. Your best bet is to use fire and arcane weapons. Keep an eye on her attacks: she'll try to stomp you with her feet, follow up with a bite, or whip you with her tail, which can inflict poison. If she rears up and unleashes a barrage of electric energy from her mouth, just quickly dash past her to avoid it.

As you chip away at her health, she'll get faster and more aggressive, chaining attacks together. Stay focused, dodge her combos, and keep up the pressure with your elemental damage. Once you finally defeat her, you'll get her beak, which is useful for crafting the Opal Tusk with any dagger. Plus, you'll unlock the 'The Sacrifice' achievement. Good luck!
