Beastman of Farum Azula Boss Guide for Beastman of Farum Azula Fight Strategy. The Best Tips for Beastman of Farum Azula: Bait its long attack combos and counterattack once it's finished. Try to avoid blocking since its attacks drain so much stamina. Use Rotten Stray Ashes to take advantage of its relatively low resistance to Scarlet Rot. Melee Strategy Bait and Punish: Bait the Beastman's attacks until it completes a full combo before attacking a couple of times and then backing away. Its weapon drains a lot of stamina if you block it, so after you land a few hits it's better to dodge back far enough that you're out of range of its swings. When in doubt, stay as far away as you can. This boss doesn't have a ton of stance, so charged or jumping heavy attacks will stance-break it easily. Parrying: Most of the Beastman's attacks can be parried, except for the Two-Hand Slam and the last two attacks of the 6-Hit Combo (the uppercut and the overhead attack). Magic and Ranged Strategy Keep Your Distance: This fight is considerably easier at range. You can bait out its combos the same way you would in melee, but you can punish them from range rather than running into danger. Just keep your distance when it begins attacking and only block if you absolutely have to. Attacks & Counters Attack Description Counter One-Handed Double Swing Cleaver: Grabs its cleaver with one hand and swings it twice horizontally. Parry the first swing or roll away. Avoid blocking, since it will lose you a lot of stamina. Two-Handed Double Swing Cleaver: Grabs its cleaver with two hands and swings it twice horizontally. Much faster than the One-Handed Double Swing, but covers much less range. Parry the first swing or roll away. Avoid blocking, since it will lose you a lot of stamina. Cleaver Stab Cleaver: Pulls its cleaver back and then stabs it forward Roll to your right to avoid the follow-up Overhead Slam Cleaver: Pulls its cleaver over its head and slams it down in front Roll to your right to avoid the follow-up Sideswipe Cleaver: Steps to its left and swings its cleaver clockwise along with it Roll right and get in a hit while it recovers Spinning Slice Cleaver: Spins in a full clockwise circle ending with a horizontal slice Roll right, since the hitbox is mostly towards the end of the attack Barbaric Roar Cleaver: Lets loose a fearsome roar dealing damage in a small area of effect Roll backwards and prepare to dodge the follow-up combo 6-Hit Combo Cleaver: Roars, then attacks six times: four horizontal swings, an upwards vertical attack which launches it into the air, then a final overhead slam. Dodge away and keep your distance during most of the combo, then roll in during the final slam and attack during its recovery animation. Two-Hand Slam Cleaver: Grabs its cleaver with two hands, jumps forward, and slams it into the ground. There's a long delay before it jumps, so be careful not to roll too soon. Once you successfully dodge, you have time to get in a few attacks of your own. : Attack can be parried Beastman of Farum Azula (Cleaver) Combo Chart Beastman of Farum Azula Groveside CaveGrace.
