InLords of the Fallen, boss fights are the meat of the gameplay, where everything builds up and leads players to a boss fight.

One such boss in Lords of the Fallen is Scourged Sister Delyth. She may seem like an easy-to-fight boss, but she hits hard and does bleed damage on top of the physical damage.
