Whether you love Dark Souls or Elden Ring, FromSoftware pioneered the Soulsborne genre, and their games are still the best out there.

Phase 2 - Fallen Angel

Once you whittle down the boss to around 3/4th of her HP, she will slam her sword into the ground and enter her second phase. If you’re close to her when she does this, you will need to dodge; otherwise, you’ll risk taking damage and get staggered.

In the second phase, Pieta does a few new attacks, deals more damage with each attack, and upgrades a few of her attacks.
