How to Beat The Cathedral Protector

Learn the best strategies and tips to defeat the Cathedral Protector in Tunic. This guide covers its weaknesses, attack patterns, and recommended gear for victory.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Cathedral Protector is vulnerable to ice and fire damage.
• It has a large health pool and hits very hard.
• Watch out for its sweeping attacks and ground slams.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Protector will use a series of sword swings and a ground slam. Dodge roll through the swings and away from the slam.
2. Phase 2: The Protector becomes more aggressive, adding a charge attack and a projectile wave. Continue to dodge and look for openings.
3. Phase 3: The Protector gains a new attack where it slams its sword into the ground, creating an area of effect explosion. Back away quickly when you see this wind-up.

Strategy:

• Use the Magic Dagger or Fire Bombs to exploit its elemental weaknesses.
• The Shield can be used to block some attacks, but be mindful of your stamina.
• The Hourglass can be useful for slowing down time to dodge its more complex attack patterns.
• Prioritize dodging over attacking. Only attack when you have a clear opening.
• Heal only when safe to do so, as the Protector punishes prolonged healing.
