Strategy
Explosive droppings everywhere
For this fight, until you learn how the droppings work we suggest being careful. The idea is that droppings explode after a few seconds
They drop everywhere when Bazelgeuse is doing one of its attacks animations. You can time their explosions by the color: grey - have a few seconds left, red - explodes instantly.
It is all about explosions
Bazelgeuse fight is all about managing and evading explosions
When enraged scales and droppings turn red
When Bazelgeuse is enraged the droppings and scales on his skin will start to glow red:
In this mode, its attacks will activate extensive explosions. Due to this the fight becomes much harder as you have to predict where the dropping will land and after how much time it will explode
In this case we recommend during this phase stay away during the attack animations or us Guard.
Flying Bombardment
This is its signature attack. Bazelgeuse will start flying around the area dropping its scales. These scales will explode after a few seconds.
After it flies around a few times it will do a Dive into the hunter. This will deal a large amount of damage to the player If not guarded avoided or superman dived.
How to deal with it?
You can take down Bazelgeuse during this attack by using Flash Bombs. have in mind they only work a few times against it
Be careful with Guard Edge
If you prefer to use Guard Edge, have in mind that each Bazelgeus attack hits multiple times due to explosions. So it is best to avoid using it until you get the hang of which its attacks have single hitboxes
