Tips for defeating The Hushed Saint
The Hushed Saint will start the fight on horseback and you will either need to wait for him to jump off or knock him off. Don’t waste your time trying to attack him as most attacks won’t deal damage. Instead, use your Umbral Lamp to spot blue orb parasites in the arena.
Use your Lamp to detonate a parasite as the boss approaches on horseback. Timing it correctly will unleash a small AoE, knocking him off his horse. You can also use these while he is on foot to stun him.
If you choose to wait, the boss will jump off of his horse and throw his halberd after a short while. When the boss is on foot, this is your chance to attack. Stick to the boss’ side while you attack. This will help you avoid some of his harder-hitting moves.
Keep damaging the boss while on foot. After a short while, he will get back on his horse and repeat the process. Knock him off again or wait for him to jump off and attack once more. Keep up with this until the boss reaches half health and his second phase starts.
During The Hushed Saint’s second phase, he buffs his weapon by sticking it into the ground. You can get in a few hits while this is going on. Afterward, the boss’ halberd will be much bigger and will cause small explosions with some of his attacks.
Keep sticking to the boss’ side when you attack to avoid the more devastating attacks. Repeat the process until he is defeated.
