TheRPGAI Limit is home to many difficult bosses, like any good Soulslike should, and Lore, The Lost Lancer, is the first major character that’s standing in your way. You’ll need to stay focused, use whatever buffs are available to you, and follow certain strategies to succeed in this battle. Here’s how to defeat Lore, The Lost Lancer.

Main Strategies

Lore, The Lost Lancer wields a long spear weapon that is used fairly quickly despite its size. Lore can jump towards you at a frightening pace, so ensure you’re ready to dodge at a moment’s notice. It would be best to lock on to the boss, so you may dodge it more successfully.Rollingisn’t as effective. When the boss holds thespear with two hands, he is about to charge towards you. Make sure tododge to the left or the rightwhen this occurs. When the boss holds theweapon backhanded, he’s about to swing. When the spear is beingheld at the back, Lore is about to jump towards you andsweep with the weapon.

The best time to strike Lore during his first phase iswhen he tries to perform a three-hit combo. you’re able to use a shield to take on the damage, and then when the boss thuds his spear on the ground the third time, he will tire, leaving you an opportunity to hit your foe. Try to keep your distance from Lore, the Lost Lancer, as he can grab the protagonist and cause major damage as he slams her to the ground with his strength.

Tools at Your Disposal
