How to defeat Laxasia The Complete in Lies of P?

We would recommend wearing a gear that is great against lightning, plus a fast weapon. But let’s see how to deal with her in the two phases.

Phase One

• Laxasia wields a giant sword and can inflict heavy electric damage.
• Using a fast weapon will really help you to deal quick, damaging blows.
• You can even use a specter summon and make your companion take all the hits for you.
• She will be well armored and have a giant shield on her back. This will protect her from attacks on her back, but it can be broken.
• She has a combo attack where she hits you with several downward slashes. Try to dash away from her when she does that.
• Staggering her will still cause her to perform a last swing.
• She also performs a downward electric slash that creates a line of lighting burst to the ground. You can dash away from her, and when she comes closer, dodge her final slash and hit her with a counter.
• As her attacks are generally slower in this phase, you can easily dash away from her and then attack her rather than constantly performing perfect guard.

Phase Two

• In this phase, Laxasia removes most of her armor, and her speed and dexterity increases.
• There will be many attacks that she will perform while floating in mid-air.
• She will shoot at you with multiple lightning balls and then may even drop down hard on the ground and cause an electrical explosion. So, try to dodge as much as you can.
• However, you can perform perfect guard on the lighting projectiles and counter them back at her, causing heavy damage.
• During close combat, her attacks will become more frantic and chaotic. Dash, dodge, and parry and remember to consume health potions.
• She will try to kick you away as well, so make the correct decision and survive her Driving Crash attack, which is unblockable.
• If you are having difficulty parrying, take your time, and dodge her quick strikes, and then attack. And again, remember to deflect her lighting orbs.

If you manage to defeat Laxasia, then you will be rewarded with Sad Zealot’s Ergo. This fight is going to be challenging, but if you utilize your counter-attack skills, you can defeat pretty easily.
