Attacks

Attack	Power	Element	Status ailment
Contact	600	Dark	—
Sickles They emerge around the top of the screen, pause, then fly straight at Nathan's current position. Can be destroyed. In the first form they appear only while it flies, but in large numbers; Ice Ball Circle or Poison Cloud is recommended for defense.	444	Dark	—
Spear After stopping for about 1 s, it thrusts three long spears at Nathan: the middle one aims at his current position and the other two are each 45° off, each about 60% of the screen width long. Back off as soon as it stops.	548	Dark	—
Lightning Ball One appears on each side of it, pauses about half a second, homes in on Nathan for about half a second, then flies straight off the screen. Wait until the homing ends before moving to dodge it.	560	Thunder	—

Contact	600	Dark	—
Great Scythe Used when Nathan is close in front of it (within about 1/4 of the screen width): it raises the scythe and slams it onto the ground ahead. The scythe and arm hurt on contact but can't be hit.	688	Dark	—
Sickles In the second form, one appears about every 1.25 s, nonstop. Can be destroyed.	444	Dark	—
Earthquake When you're far away, it crawls for about 8 s and then uses this. It slowly rises, pauses at the top, then drops to cause an earthquake. Jump at that moment to avoid it.	444	—	—
Magic Circle When you're far away, it crawls for about 4 s and then casts it in front: the whole screen is slowed for about 4 s, even without touching it. Deals no damage.	—	—	Slow

For damage, the rules for kills while frozen or petrified, and how drop rates work, see Game Systems

Forms	HP	EXP	Notes
First Form	880	—	Immune to quake
Second Form	880	—	Transforms once the first form's HP is depleted, with HP fully restored; it can't be hit for about 7 s during the transformation and fade-in

Recommended sub-weapon: Crucifix.
Sickles are plentiful throughout the fight; recommended DSS: Ice Ball Circle or Poison Cloud for defense.
The first form flies back and forth in the air, often passing over Nathan's head; every 4 passes it uses an attack, with Spear and Lightning Ball each used once per cycle in random order. Its body is high up, so attack while jumping.
Against the first form, throwing the Crucifix in the direction it's moving lands many hits.
The second form crawls very slowly and is easier than the first; just throw Crucifixes for an easy win.
