The swamps of the Forsaken Fen are confusing and brimming with deadly poison-wielding cultists, but if you’re able to press on through them, you’ll eventually reach the first corrupted beacon that you’re charged with cleansing. Before you can approach it, though, you’ll need to slay its guardian: The Hushed Saint, the third main boss ofLords of the Fallen.
This is arguably the toughest boss in the early stages of the game, but with a clear understanding of its moveset, you’ll have a much easier time overcoming this foe. Below, we’ve put together a comprehensive overview of the fight that covers everything you need to know.
Lords of the Fallen: The Hushed Saint phase 1
Above all else, patience is the key to this fight, as The Hushed Saint often attacks aggressively and doesn’t give you any time to be greedy with your own offense. Here’s how the first phase works.
Lords of the Fallen: The Hushed Saint phase 2
Phase two of the fight will start once The Hushed Saint has lost about half its health, at which point it will gain some deadly buffs as well as new attacks.
And that’s it! As long as you’re able to avoid most of The Hushed Saint’s offense and take advantage of every opening you get, you’ll take it down and will finally be able to interact with the first of Lords of the Fallen’s beacons. Remember to use the Umbral Lamp on the boss' Stigma to get the Remembrance of The Hushed Saint — you can use it to unlock special boss gear from Molhu in Skyrest.
