It’s advisable to Beckon the Iron Wayfarer, an NPC who can be summoned to aid you during the fight with Lords of the Fallen Pieta.

In Lords of the Fallen, beating Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, is a huge challenge. This mysterious boss is the first real test of your skills in the game. It sets the tone for the tricky parts to come. To win, you need to have knowledge, a plan, and the determination to keep going. Whether you are a close-quarters or long-range fighter, this guide will show you how to take over Lords of the Fallen Pieta.

Preparing for the Battle with Lords of the Fallen Pieta

Before stepping into the arena where Pieta awaits, it’s essential to make some preparations that will significantly enhance your chances of success.

Beckon the Iron Wayfarer

Look to the left as you get closer to the door to Abandoned Redcopse. There is a cloud of moths there. Here, you can choose to “beckon” the Iron Wayfarer, a non-player character who can help you a lot in the fight. Even though he doesn’t do much damage, his appearance is very helpful because it gives you more time to study Pieta’s moves and attack patterns.

Co-op Assistance

If you prefer the aid of human companions, Lords of the Fallen allows you to summon friends for co-op play. Visit a Vestige and select “Multiplayer.” You can either invite specific friends or open your game to unknown Lampbearers who might join your quest. Even inexperienced allies can provide much-needed support in battling Lords of the Fallen Pieta.

Understanding Pieta’s Stages

To overcome this powerful enemy, it’s crucial to understand the mechanics of Pieta’s two stages.

Stage 1: Swordplay

In the first stage, Pieta mostly uses her sword. She does combos with more than one hit, and there is usually a small pause between each one. If you’re playing a melee class, it’s very important to get good at timing her hits. Instead of jumping in without thinking, watch her rhythms and get a feel for how she swings her sword early in the fight. Once you understand how she works, you can confront her with more ease.

Dealing with Holy Damage

Pieta inflicts Holy damage with her angelic wings and glowing golden sword. Since you’re limited in armor options early in the game, avoiding her attacks is essential. Having an ally in the battle offers you the time and space needed to analyze Pieta’s movements without panic-rolling. This provides opportunities to strike her at the end of her combos, but be cautious not to get greedy, as she will punish any overextension.

Dodging the Summoned Sword

One of Pieta’s most dangerous attacks in Stage 1 involves summoning a floating sword, which then slams into the ground, causing significant damage upon impact. To evade this perilous strike, wait until the last moment before dodging, as the delay in her attack can catch premature dodges. A well-timed evasion will allow the summoned sword to harmlessly strike the ground beside you.

Strategies for Melee Combat

Characters that use melee attacks have to get close to Pieta, which can be hard. During the first part of the fight, the Iron Wayfarer can confuse her, which lets you do more damage. Healing charges should be saved for Stage 2 unless you have to use them sooner. If you’re in front of Pieta, stand behind her or to her sides to make it less likely that she will hit you with her holy beam.

Ranged Combat Tactics

If you’ve chosen a ranged character as your starting class, you’ll have a significant advantage against Lords of the Fallen Pieta. The primary concern here is managing your ammo to avoid running out at a critical moment. While learning Pieta’s patterns, consider conserving your ammo pouches and manastones. Once you’ve mastered her behavior, you can use your ranged attacks more liberally.

Stage 2: Aerial Assault

Upon reducing Pieta’s health to around 40%, she transitions to Stage 2. Here, she sprouts wings, becoming more agile and introducing new, deadly attacks.

AoE Attack

One of Pieta’s lethal Stage 2 moves is an area-of-effect (AoE) attack where she drops multiple blades into the ground. These blades follow specific patterns, with the most straightforward being in the center lane. Ensure you move to the edge of the arena to avoid this attack.

Angelic Guardians

Later in the battle, Pieta summons two angelic guardians to assist her. These guardians can also unleash the same holy sword AoE as Pieta. When you see them positioned in the two outer lanes, shift to the center lane to avoid their attacks. Ranged characters can continue to pressure Pieta, while others should focus on healing and repositioning.

Surviving Stage 2

In Stage 2, it’s very important to keep track of your health, ammo, and water. You can be more careful in how you fight Pieta as her attack patterns get more predictable. Avoid her grab attack, which she barely hints at before rushing forward with. It could be very damaging. Depending on how well you time your dodge, you might win or lose.

Claiming Your Reward

Having vanquished Lords of the Fallen Pieta, you are entitled to your rewards. Follow these steps to obtain Pieta’s signature equipment:

Step 1: Trigger the Stigma

After defeating Pieta, use your Umbral Lamp to trigger the Stigma outside the entrance to Skyrest Bridge. This will award you with a Remembrance.

Step 2: Unlock Molhu’s Wares

Before you can buy anything from Molhu, you have to find the Bowl of Revelations, which is in the umbral version of Pilgrim’s Perch. After you open the Vestige of Blind Agatha rest point in the Bellroom, you can do this. Look around the area and find the ladder that leads to a big field full of preserved animals. Find it in the Umbral Realm and go to the center where the body is frozen in stone. To get the gift, use Soulflay.

Step 3: Acquire Pieta’s Signature Equipment

Now that you have Pieta’s Remembrance, you can buy her weapon for 40 Umbral Scourings, which you can get by beating other bosses.

Now that Pieta has been beaten and the first big problem in Lords of the Fallen has been solved, you can go to Pilgrim’s Perch and explore the world beyond.
