Moonlight Butterfly | How to kill a boss Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Description

It is a butterfly in Darkroot Garden. It may seem that the battle can be won only with a ranged weapon - but nothing more wrong. The enemy flies to the wall from time to time, and then you can inflict him damage.

Attacks and weaknesses

The butterfly is vulnerable to lightning-based attacks. His attacks are:

1) Homing missiles - missiles head towards you but you can jump aside to avoid them.

2) Multiply missiles - a beam of several missiles running in different directions. Jump aside to avoid.

3) Beam attack - a slow beam moving in your direction. To avoid jump through it.

4) Bombs - while flying over the bridge, the butterfly throws bombs. Try to jump rather in his direction.

Tips

1) Magic defense - this boss attacks with magic missiles, so you should equip a set which absorbs such attacks.

2) Prepare to jump aside - in fact you do not need armor if you're good in avoiding missiles by jumping aside.

Tactics

In this fight you can apply two tactics - distance or melee fight. In both cases you have to learn how to avoid enemy's blows.

Avoid butterfly's attacks. Between his attacks you can shoot him with a bow. If you prefer to kill him with a melee weapon, wait until he flies to the bridge - he won't move for a moment, giving you plenty time for an attack.
