How to defeat Rykard Lord of Blasphemy in Elden Ring
One of the hardest bosses in the initial demi-god run of Elden Ring, Rykard Lord of Blasphemy has some serious scale and a weapon gimmick to accompany the God-devouring Serpent. The fight against the fiery serpent is bound to give players trouble, but there are some great ways to turn the tides of battle.
Depending on the path that players take, this is likely the third or fourth demi-god that players will face off against. Compared to the others, this is the most intimidating, and the only one that comes close is Radahn. Luckily, players are given the option of a powerful weapon to take down the God-devouring Serpent.
To fight Rykard Lord of Blasphemy, players will first need to head northwest to Volcano Manor. The area has two major bosses, with the God-devouring Serpent showing up shortly after the Apostle boss.
Players will need to take a portal to the lair of Rykard in order to start the epic fight, and it's in the entrance where anyone can find the weapon to even the odds.
Tips to fight Rykard Lord of Blasphemy:
This bos fight has two entire health bars with different mechancis in each fight. But if players use their tools to their advantage, the fight can end quickly.
The first phase is much easier than the second. Players need to watch out for slow slam attacks along with poison launches from the serpent. Getting too close will also burn the attacker with lava.
In phase 2, Rykard appears within the serpent and takes out his sword. Many of the mechanics from before exist, but there is far more range. On top of that, there are magical skull attacks that Rykard will summon. Players should dodge until they disappear.
With that in mind, players can utilize their spears to quickly take down the Lord of Blasphemy.
