How To Defeat Lodwyn In Avowed

In the game Avowed, your trek through the Living Lands will culminate in a tough confrontation against Lodwyn. Unlike the initial encounter with her in Galawain’s Tusks, Lodwyn has grown stronger this time, making it more of a multi-stage boss fight. To emerge victorious, be sure to prepare well and adapt your strategies as you progress, since fighting Lodwyn involves adjusting to her responses during each phase of the battle.

Lodwyn consists of three unique stages, yet they all take place within an open setting where you encounter her. This means there are minimal distractions apart from what Lodwyn herself introduces. To vanquish her tyranny effectively, it would be beneficial to have spells for support, healing abilities, and both close-combat and long-range attacks at your disposal.

Lodwyn’s First Phase

The initial skirmish tends to follow a familiar pattern. Lodwyn strikes at you with her sword, but from afar, you can wear her down. This is an ideal moment to move closer, employing blocks or parries for a powerful counterattack. A two-handed weapon dealing high damage will expedite this phase. Since this is the simplest phase, it’s best not to use many potions unnecessarily here.

Hurry up and get close to Lodwyn, then swiftly evade as she swings her sword towards me. She may be slow in her attacks here, but make no mistake, she packs a mighty punch! Be cautious enough to dodge out of the way and avoid taking damage. Once she’s down to half her health, she’ll drop to her knees and completely recover. During this moment, she won’t be able to take any harm, so it’s the perfect opportunity for me to heal up or recharge my abilities.

When she misses, she slams her sword into the ground, leaving herself vulnerable.

Lodwyn’s Second Phase

Once recovered, Lodwyn adopts a new strategy in combat. Instead of charging head-on, she now prefers to attack from a distance, hurling fireballs and dropping rocks towards you. The rapid succession of fireballs can quickly deplete your health, making it nearly impossible to dodge when getting too close – a move that essentially spells doom for you. To counter this phase effectively, it would be wise to switch to ranged weapons, focusing particularly on those with Stun capabilities. Lodwyn will fully utilize her health bar during this fight, providing you with ample opportunity to build up Stun and inflict significant damage.

Immediately following her unleashing fireballs, there’s an opportunity to dash in for a close-combat strike as she readies her next attack, but this strategy is significantly more perilous compared to the initial stage.

She additionally calls forth Shadow Summons during combat. Once these are vanquished, she simply summons even more, indicating that overcoming them isn’t the primary goal. However, they can quickly overwhelm you, so it’s crucial not to disregard them. They can be attacked from a distance, but switching back to melee when they charge is essential. Consequently, having a wand or pistol as your ranged weapon, leaving your offhand free, would be the optimal build. However, bows and arquebuses inflict significantly more damage, so if you’re aiming for maximum effectiveness with Lodwyn, those weapons are viable options as well.

Lodwyn occasionally pauses assaults to summon reinforcements, creating an opportunity for you to strike, thus it’s beneficial to eliminate them, but don’t make it your main priority. When Lodwyn is reduced to zero health, she miraculously regenerates, requiring a shift in your strategy again.

Lodwyn’s Third Phase

On this occasion, Lodwyn is calling forth two Pristine Maegfolc. It appears that she summons one at the outset and another when her health decreases by a third, but her actions can be somewhat unpredictable – occasionally she summons both right away. However, if these summoned creatures are defeated, Lodwyn may not immediately summon more (this seldom happens in our experience). Instead, she usually waits quite some time after their defeat before calling forth additional reinforcements. Consequently, it’s advisable to focus on taking out the summoned beings while also reducing Lodwyn’s health simultaneously.

By now, you should be adept since you’ve had multiple encounters in the garden. Flee when they prepare to strike, keep maneuvering when they lower their heads with the blue lights, and retreat or immobilize them from a distance before charging with powerful melee attacks. Once these are defeated, pursue Lodwyn aggressively as her third stage is simply a repeat of her first and second stages.

I’m right back to my slow yet potent melee assaults, so keep an eye on your stamina and strike hard before dodging away! Remember, she’ll still pepper in some spells, often dropping rocks from above, but she typically prefers a face-to-face brawl, which is her weakest point. Block, parry, dodge, and counterattack until I drop to zero health. This time, it’s really over, so just sit back and enjoy the cutscene unfold. It’ll reveal where your choices have taken you and the outcome of your journey as an Envoy.
