This is a scripted attack at the 80% HP threshold This move has a big wind up so you can get a few attacks in before having to run away to safety, unlocking camera and looking a bit upwards helps with dodging the swords Tail Sweep When the target is behind him, Morgott will twist his tail in an attempt to hit them. Roll against the sweep direction or Jump the attack. Cursed Explosion At the 60% HP Threshold, Attacking, Shackling, Parrying Morgott would instantly force the transition animation to second phase where Morgott stands in place with his sword stabbed to the ground, he then starts coughing for a bit before unleashing the omen curse, spawning geysers on the floor that arerandom and covering the arena with water You can safely attack Morgott until he begins coughing, at which point the safest strategy is to run away to avoid being hit by the blast. You can also roll towards him as soon as he begins standing up straight to push more damage. This is a good opportunity to heal or use ranged attacks to apply status ailments. Holy Spear Throw Morgott spawns a holy spear and throws it towards you after a short delay. When he starts pulling his arm back to throw, dodge to a side. If you're close enough you can completely dodge the attack by standing in front of his left leg. Flying Sword Spear Stab Morgottleaps into the airstabbing the ground with his spear and sword. You can easily dodge this attack by running towards Morgott after a spear throw. You can also roll behind Morgott when he's at the apex of the jump (when he's closest to you) Flying Hammer Slam Morgott leaps into the air spawning a holy hammer and slamming it into the ground You can outrun this attack or roll into Morgott as he's slamming to continue aggression. Holy Spear Charge Creates a holy spear and after a second, he starts charging directly at his target Although this attack looks like a mid/long range only attack, Morgott can actually queue it in close range too, delay the roll until he starts moving towards you if that happens to avoid getting clipped by it.
You can Roll through this attack (Forward Right), or run away from the attack

Rolling through the spear has 2 outcomes
- If you’re in front of the boss he’ll do a Sword Attack
- If you’re behind the boss he’ll do a Sword Hammer Horizontal Swing

Spear Poke Morgott pulls out a holy spear for a short period of time poking you before following up with a Diagonal Sword Attack if you’re within range for one or idling if you're not He pulls the spear backwards a bit before doing the attack, roll the moment he pulls it back Holy Daggers 1: Roll behind his left leg

Holy Sword Slash Vertical Sword Slam Morgott hops to your left side or does a backhand Diagonal sword slam before spawning a holy sword in his left hand and doing a quick slash followed by a Vertical sword slam that ends the combo. Dodge the sword and move towards his left side and only attack after he slams him to avoid the oncoming sword attack. This is a good attack to punish.

Attacking before he slams the regular sword can get you hitby the sword hitbox.

Dodging the final part of the attack into Morgott will in turn make him spawn a Holy Dagger and slash twice as a punishment for the player.

Spinning Slashes Morgott Swings his sword diagonally from left to right quickly before spawning a holy sword in his left hand and doing a triple diagonal spin mid air and slamming both swords on the ground (there is a tiny delay here, Holy Sword goes down first then Regular Sword). There are multiple ways of dodging this attack;
Either by rolling into the first sword slash, and rolling twice around Morgott (one forward left, one forward right)

Rolling away and getting back in after the slams.

Rolling the first sword slash and running around him in a counter clockwise direction for roughly one second before letting go of the sprint button

*Strafing the sword slash by going right then running left for a second and stopping the sprint (Advanced Dodge)

This attack is a combo finisher andis great for punishes

Gliding Slide Morgott dashes towards your left then performs a sword slash as he’s dashing from left to right. Time your roll when Morgott raises the sword slightly. Dodging with the attack allows for a rolling light attack on most weapons Cartwheel Morgott does a flip and positions himself behind you, lunging for a second before jumping back through your body slashing it as he goes. To time this roll, dodge when you can’t see his right hand and when you see the sword above his shoulder.
Rolling with him will make him opt to one of 3 options, Helicopter, Sword Poke, or Bloodflame Stab (Only in Phase 2)
Rolling away from him will make him opt for a spear throw, daggers throw, or a spear poke Sword Hammer Horizontal Swing Morgott spawns a holy hammer and rests it on his shoulder for a second before doing a sword Slash from right to left followed simultaneously by a hammer swing. Notice when Morgott Raises his sword slightly, that’s the tell on when you should queue the roll.
Dodging into Morgott gives one of 2 different follow ups, Overhead Hammer Slam or Any of the Sword Attacks.
You can tell this attack is going to happen if Morgott points his sword INWARDS. Not to be mistaken with the HORIZONTAL SWORD SLASH, OVERHEAD HAMMER SLAM Variation Where he points his sword OUTWARDS as they have a similar starting animation. Horizontal Sword Slash, Overhead Hammer Slam Morgott spawns a holy hammer and rests it on his shoulder for a second before doing a sword slash from right to left followed by a delayed overhead hammer slam. Dodge in as he raises the sword then either run behind him and dodge the hammer, or perform a jumping attack on his back to dodge the shockwave and not get clipped by the hammer hitbox Overhead Hammer Slam Morgott pulls his left arm all the way to the back before summoning a holy hammer raising it over his head and slamming the ground creating shockwave To get the maximum value of this attack, maintain a bit of distance so you can roll into him and bait out the Helicopter attack Sword + Hammer Spin Morgott spawnsa hammer in his right hand, tries to close in on you and then starts spinning twice ending it with a big hammer diagonal slam. To dodge this attack, sprint backwards and the moment you see his sword starting to move, roll away.

This attack is pretty tough to dodge depending on your position as he can do a quick hop to catch up to you before starting the animation. Thankfully it has multiple attacks that signal that it's going to happen. Most important one being the Swords Rain. As soon as you see him spawning the hammer when you’re away from him start sprinting backwards to avoid getting into these situations.

This attack can happen as a follow up to Spear Throw, out of idle (only in phase 2), or rarely after Double Daggers Throw.

If he pulls out a hammer out of idle (Melee Range) in phase 2 DO NOT GO IN, roll away twice instantly
