You might have encountered Damarose The Marked at Pilgrim’s Perch while exploring. She serves as an NPC inLords Of The Fallenand is a follower of Adyr. Damarose cautions you against approaching the beacons, as it contradicts her quest. However, if you decide to cleanse any beacon, it means you’re going against her wishes, and she turns into a secondary boss.
Upon reaching Bramis Castle, just before you reach the castle itself, she will block your path and engage you in a fight. The only way to proceed is by defeating her, but this will also result in the loss of her quest.
Damarose The Marked Attacks
Damarose The Markedemploysa cleaveranda couple of fire attacksthat you should be aware of. Her attacks are fairly straightforward, so let’s break them down.
Damarose usesa series of swing and strike attacks with her cleaver, typicallyin three-hit combos. These attackscan be parried or dodged quite easily. After each combo,you’ll have a good opportunity to land two hits on her.
Once you’ve depleted one-third of her health,a mark will appear above her head, and she’llenhance her cleaver with fire.
At this stage, her attacks willgradually increase your character’s Burn meter. She’ll continue using her standard three-hit cleaver combos, but after each hit,the mark above her will launch a fire projectile at you.
You’ll noticethe mark glowing before it releases the fire projectile.
An additional attack she’ll add at this point isunleashing a stream of fire from her hand, whichinflicts fire damage and can potentially cause the Burn status effect.
Once you’ve reduced her health by half,she’ll summon a second mark, effectivelydoubling the fire projectiles being thrown at you. She’ll continue with her three-hit combo attacks.
As you approach the final third of her health,she’ll summon a third mark, andall three will hover over her head.
Nothing significantly changes here except for theincreased number of projectiles thrown at you by the marks, which nowcover a larger area.
Damarose The Marked Strategy
This battle is not particularly difficult and follows a straightforward pattern. When you first enter the fight with her, start byrushing in and delivering a full combo, thenquickly step back. Wait for her to complete her combo, and thenseize the opportunity to strike again.
If you’re skilled atparrying her attacks,you can significantly reduce her posture and potentially stagger her. However, simply dodging to the side or front is often sufficient to evade her attacks.
Once she summons the first mark, the challenge increases slightly, but it’s manageable. Your main concern ispreventing your Burn meter from filling up, as this resultsin ongoing damage.
If you have aBurn Resistance Balm, you can use it not only tocure Burnbut also totemporarily boost your resistance against burn attacks.
During this phase, it’s not advisable to attempt parries becausethe mark will launch a projectile at you, causing damage even if you successfully parry.Stick to dodging instead.
The same principle applies here:let her finish her combo,close in for two hits, and thenretreat.
Occasionally, she will use herFlamethrower attack, which presents an excellent opportunity tocircle around her. If you can landa charged heavy attack during this move, it willdeal significant damage and potentially stagger her.
The fight proceeds as usual when the second mark appears, with the only difference beingmore projectiles to avoid.
When all three marks are summoned, exercise caution.All three marks will release a barrage of fire projectiles that cover a large area. This is the moment tomaintain distanceand onlyrush in to attack when she finishes her combo.
If you haveany Radiant spells, use them against her asthey seem to deal significant damage.
That’s essentially the entire fight:wait for her combo to finish,rush in for two or three attacks, thenretreat. Repeat this process, and you will eventually defeat her.
