Cult Of The Lamb Anura Bosses: How To Defeat

In our guide we will look into the 4 Anura Bosses and how to defeat them.

The Cult of the Lamb Anura monsters are more challenging than their counterparts, so if you want to prevail, you will need to master all of the game’s mechanics and look for patterns in each enemy. Of course, it is considerably easier than it sounds because it can be difficult to remember each boss’s routines and abilities when they are advancing on you with all of their devilish might. 

Key Highlights
  • Cult Of The Lamb features numerous weapons due to the need to battle various bosses.
  • Fighting bosses can be challenging if approached recklessly without understanding their attacks.
  • There are four main bosses in the game: Gusion Guideldings, Eligos, Zepar, and Heket.
  • Each boss has unique techniques and attack patterns that require strategy.
  • Consult a guide for detailed information on countering and defeating these bosses successfully.

Some Things To Know Before You Start

Before tackling the Cult of the Lamb Anura bosses, here are some crucial tips:

  1. Timing is key when preparing for these challenging bosses. Most zone monsters are fast and strike swiftly, so consider using lighter weapons for quicker attacks.
  2. Opt for knives, blades, or gauntlets as they excel in melee combat. Knives are a reliable choice.
  3. Prioritize tarot cards that boost your melee physical damage, swinging speed, or curse resistance for ranged enemies.
  4. Invest in enhancing your sermon faith skill tree, specifically the second or third branch. This unlocks powerful weapons and spells that make defeating the area’s bosses easier.

Remember these tips to increase your chances of success against the Anura bosses.

Gusion Guideldings Anura Boss

Gusion, the first of the Cult of the Lamb Anura monsters, resembles a jumping frog and may seem unpleasant. Here are some key points to remember for this boss:

  1. Gusion has two main attacks: an AOE blast wave and clusters of projectiles. These attacks are relatively easy to dodge, allowing you to focus on dealing melee or curses damage with hit-and-run tactics.
  2. The challenge in this battle arises from Gusion’s ability to create additional frog opponents by laying eggs. Destroy these eggs quickly with a few strikes to prevent them from hatching. Focusing on the eggs can help you avoid being overwhelmed.
  3. Once only one lesser foe remains, redirect your attention to Gusion and continue using hit-and-run strategies to reduce his health.

By following these tactics, you’ll defeat Gusion and clear the first hurdle in the zone. If you’re looking for more information, check out our “10 BEST Weapons guide” to discover the game’s top weapons.

Eligos Guide

You’ll encounter Eligos, a larger version of flying frog opponents. Here’s how to handle this powerful foe:

  1. Eligos approaches in two ways:
    • Swarm of flying insects: Melee attacks or curses work well against this swarm. Wait for the swarm to get within mid-range before engaging.
    • Homing charge with projectiles: Evade the projectiles as they converge. Afterward, seize the opportunity for melee or Curse damage, but be cautious.
  2. Avoid rushing in for fast hits, especially after Eligos reaches half health. His homing charge ability will activate more frequently and at a shorter range, making it a risky strategy.

Zepar Boss Guide

Meet the formidable Zepar, another Anura boss. Zepar’s moveset shares similarities with Gusion:

  1. Zepar bounces around, creating AOE shock assaults upon landing. He also launches projectiles and uses minor foes to distract you.
  2. Watch out for his exploding projectiles, which can deal significant damage. They have targeting reticles that indicate their landing spots, making them easy to dodge.
  3. Deal with the small adversaries similarly to how you handled them in the Gusion boss battle: eliminate all but one before focusing on Zepar for hit-and-run damage.
  4. Patience is key to avoiding AOE shockwaves from Zepar’s landings. Wait until he finishes hopping before attacking with melee weapons. Avoid attempting full combos too quickly.
  5. Be prepared to move quickly if Zepar starts a sequence of jumps. Proceed cautiously, and you’ll be on your way to conquering the area.

By following these strategies, you’ll increase your chances of defeating Zepar.

Heket Anura Boss

Heket, the Bishop of the Old Faith, is the final and most formidable Anura boss you’ll face. Here’s how to deal with her:

  1. Heket employs various long-range techniques, including quick tongue attacks, multiple missiles, and exploding projectiles. She’ll also unleash AOE shockwaves and continuously summon lesser foes.
  2. Avoiding Heket’s attacks is key. Dodge the targeted reticles created by her tongue strike and thrown objects to close in for significant damage.
  3. Evade her AOE shockwaves by moving left or right, and use the far corners of the arena to create a buffer zone with the lesser foes.
  4. In her third phase (when her health drops to one-third), you must defeat two sizable frog enemies to trigger it. Focus on eliminating lesser foes while dealing with these frogs one at a time. Retreat if necessary to avoid spreading your attacks too thin.
  5. When Heket returns after this phase, she’ll attack more aggressively. Keep moving, and choose the right moment to finish her off with a final assault.

By following these strategies, you can take down Heket.
