wccftech.com:

In true soulslike fashion, Lies of P features a lot of powerful enemies that will make your time in the city of Krat a nightmare. Good knowledge of the game's mechanics and good reflexes are usually enough to help you deal with most enemies in the game, but there will be times when you will find a boss who will truly put your skills to the test.

One of the first bosses that does so is Fallen Archibishop Andreus. Here are a few tips to make this fight slightly less frustrating.

To have an easier time fighting the Fallen Bishop Andreus in Lies of P, it is a very good idea to prepare for the battle by equipping certain items and a specific Fallen Arm. As the boss is weak to Fire damage, you will want to equip the Flamberge Fallen Arm and the Thermite throwable item, which can be used to deal decent fire damage from a distance. You will also want to to equip Attribute Purification Ampoules, as one of the bosses attacks can deal Decay, which saps both your health and your weapon's durability. If you have a weapon capable of dealing Fire damage, equip it as well.

The battle against the Fallen Bishop Andreus boss is divided into two different phases. In the first one, the boss will use his gigantic mutated body to attack you. His techniques have great reach and fast recovery, so the window of opportunity to attack back is extremely short. As such, it is better to learn the boss' attack patterns to Perfect Guard each technique and leave him open to staggering and Fatal Attacks rather than risking getting your attacks interrupted and receiving massive damage. Setting the Fallen Bishop on fire using a Fire-elemental weapon or the Flamberge Fallen Arm is a great way to deal plenty of damage over time, leaving you free to worry only
