Warmaster's ShackGrace. Weeping PeninsulaRegion. Scenic IsleGrace Capital OutskirtsRegion The Deathbird can be found east of the Warmaster's ShackGrace, just over the cliff to the south. As with all Deathbirds, it only appears at night. Stance: 120. Parryable: No Is vulnerable to a critical hit after being stance broken Undead type Damage: Standard, Pierce, Magic Inflicts: Death Blight Weak spot: head Negations (or Absorptions). Standard: 10 Slash: 10 Strike: -40 Pierce: 35 Magic: 20 Fire: 20 Lightning: 40 Holy: -40 The negation numbers are the of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40 of that damage by that type will go through and 60 will be negated. Bigger number less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is. Deathbird Boss Guide Deathbird Fight Strategy. The Best Tips for Deathbird: Holy Water Pots can take advantage of its weakness to Holy damage and the pots' inherent 400 damage bonus against Undead enemies to do massive damage even at low Faith The Sacred Blade skill is another great way for non-Faith builds to do Holy damage Stay on foot rather than riding Torrent. A Deathbird can leap a great distance, and the reach on its poker is long enough to clip you even when you're running at full speed on Torrent. Even ranged players should try to stay just outside the range of its swings, and keep the flexibility to dodge out of the way when it attacks Melee Users Stay close to its hind legs, time your dodges, and get a few swings in after every attack. Don't get greedy and attack more than a few times. O Holy Fight: Because Deathbirds are both Undead and weak to Holy damage, melee builds with high Faith will have a particularly easy time defeating them. The Order's Blade incantation is easy to get and will give your weapon a tremendous damage boost against this boss. Magic and Ranged Users It's Litany: For Faith-based magic builds, Litany of Proper Death will make short work of this fight. Because Deathbirds are both Undead and weak to Holy damage, it will do a whopping 1400 extra damage. Just be aware that it will only work when the Deathbird is touching the ground, so time the incantation carefully. Deathbird Attacks & Counters Attack Description Counter Swing Swings its poker in various directions Roll through the swing Hop & Swing Takes a long gliding hop to one side to close distance, then swings its poker Wait for the hop to finish then roll through the swing Jab Pulls its poker back on its left side in a fencing stance, then stabs it forward This always ends a combo, so roll forward and get in a hit Stab Pulls its poker back on its right side, then stabs it forward Dodge roll forward to get behind the Deathbird and avoid the shockwave if it follows with a Yank, but be aware it could combo into a different move Yank After a Stab, pulls its poker back towards it creating a small shockwave Same strategy as with the Stab attack.
