How to Find
Appears during the quest "A Fleeting Dream".
Strategy
- 1You fight as Damiane, not Kliff — equip the Golden Vanguard (Gregor's spear) for superior reach and guard-breaking
- 2Let Lucian attack first, then sidestep instead of retreating — many of his moves punish straight-line movement
- 3Use Blinding Flash and Smiting Bolt (Right Trigger Ability) to deal damage safely while dodging
- 4In Phase 2, Lucian gains Abyss teleportation and summons shadow demons — keep moving and dodge the demons
- 5After Lucian's teleport attacks, there is a brief recovery window where you can punish with a combo
- 6Bring at least 100 grilled meat and upgrade Damiane's armor 1-2 levels before this fight
