Tips for Beating Regal Ancestor Spirit |
---|
Bleed attacks and weapons won't be that effective in this fight due to the Regal Ancestor Spirit's resistance to it |
Try not to summon a Spirit Ash since the Regal Ancestor Spirit can also siphon health from these during its Heal ability |
Use a shield that blocks 100% of physical attacks as well as the Barricade Shield ability to retain enough stamina to constantly attack the Spirit |
Try focusing your attacks on its head to deal increased damage and to potentially stagger it |

Ranged Strategy
Regal Ancestor Spirit Boss Tips |
---|
Charged heavy damage spells will be very effective |

Charged heavy damage spells will be very effective
Spells such as Loretta's Greatbow and Comet Azur will be incredibly useful for this fight due to the Regal Ancestor Spirit's long attack animations as well as its Teleport ability. The latter ability presents a great opportunity to charge up these spells and deal immense damage since it'll take some time to reach you again.
Spam spells when the Regal Ancestor Spirit starts healing
Once the Spirit uses its Heal ability, back away then start spamming spells to counteract the gains to its health. While you won't be able to remove its life gains entirely, you'll hopefully be able to take out a large chunk of it. Night Maiden's Mist will be particularly effective since the Spirit will remain stationary, so the mist can deal max damage.
Melee Strategy
Regal Ancestor Spirit Boss Tips |
---|
Position yourself under the Regal Ancestor Spirit |
Stay aggressive and attack constantly |
Position yourself under the Regal Ancestor Spirit
For melee users, the best place to attack the Spirit is underneath it and near its hind legs. You'll be able to avoid all of its antler attacks from here. Be careful when getting behind it since it can do a back kick that can knock you down.
Stay aggressive and attack constantly
You'll want to end the fight quickly by constantly attacking the Regal Ancestor Spirit to minimize the number of times it can heal. If you let the fight go on for too long, it can just heal enough times to outlast you.
Exploit its slow moveset and large size by doing several heavy attacks that deal immense damage. You can also coat your weapon in Magic Grease to increase your damage.
