As you enter the room, Seismic Talus will introduce himself as the rock-solid competitor you’ll have to take down. Judging by the floating arms, his reach is one that is going to stretch outwards, giving you less room to ease your way out. When it comes to echoes, they aren’t much help in battle but can become useful in distracting Talus. Fair warning, your echoes won’t last long when Talus is active, since his attacks are strong enough to destroy them.
When it comes to Talus’ spinning attacks, use your dodging/spinning move to avoid getting hit directly. This move is a regular and is done in each phase. Another attack Talus will do is slam his hands down, which causes the surrounding ground to tremble. Maintain your distance and only engage when he is vulnerable. to expose Talus, aim andhit the purple core underneath him. Your best chance of attacking him is when he does his hand slams and by using theBind abilityto pull it away from him. Attack him withSwordfighter Formand/or abarrage of attack echoes.
Relatively similar to the first phase, only this time the purple core is on hisupper arm. Another neat way of attacking Talus is by using throwable echoes like arock (1 TP)and aiming towards the purple core. This might take some precision, but it will do the trick. In terms of moves set, nothing has changed, so verify to dodge incoming attacks and break the vases on the sides of the room to get hearts. If you need more hearts in a hurry, distract Talus with amob echo, which will get his attention off of you, giving you time to catch up on some rest.
A great example of a mob echo isDarknut (3 TP), who could deal a good amount of damage to Talus while he’s vunerable.
This is the final phase of this boss battle, and you’ll know this due to the red glow surrounding Talus. When it comes to where the purple core is, it can be found ontop of his head. The best approach to dealing with this is to use theBind abilityto pull it off while Talus is vulnerable during his slam attacks. You could also use flying echoes to attack from above. Just remember to keep summoning them, since Talus can destroy them quickly. After hitting the purple core enough times, the Seismic Talus will be defeated and in return for your efforts, you will receive aheart container.
