Bloodcursed Lithopod Attack Patterns
The table below lists the attack details of the Bloodcursed Lithopod.
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Lunging Strike |  The creature lunges at the player after pounding its claws. It frequently uses this attack when the player is at a distance, so staying close can prevent it from triggering. Since the lunge tracks the player, guard instead of dodging after it leaps. |
| Claw Strike |  The Bloodcursed Lithopod raises its claws before striking the player. Guard the attack to avoid damage and inflict Break damage. |
How to Beat Bloodcursed Lithopod
[1] Build its Break Meter by guarding or parrying its strikes.
The boss has two predictable attacks with clear visible cues that can be repeatedly exploited to build its Break Meter, setting up a Riposte. Mix melee and ranged attacks while looking for opportunities to guard or parry.
[2] Take advantage of its slow nature.
Its slow movements and attacks make the Axe and Dagger a strong weapon choice for this fight. Its sluggish pace also gives the player plenty of room to spam heavy attacks without worrying about sudden retaliation.
[2] Use appropriate Tarstones.
The following Tarstones infuse your weapons with Curse damage, making them effective in this fight:
- Accursed Stone
- Curseblood Stone
