Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy’s First Phase is God-Devouring Serpent. The God-Devouring Serpent, unlike most boss phases, has its own health bar that must be exhausted before proceeding to the Second Phase. You must defeat the serpent again if you die in his Second Phase as Rykard.

Mt. Gelmir’s God-Devouring Serpent is a Demi-God Boss. Two shardbearers or Starscourge Radahn must be defeated to gain access to Leyndell if you use the Deeproot Depths hidden entrance. Audience Pathway is the closest Site of Grace.

PREPARATION BEFORE THE BATTLE

• Pick up the Serpent-Hunter Great Spear from a corpse near the boss’s entrance.

  

  • It has a unique relationship with this boss fight in which it summons a blade of light with every hit.

    

    

• Lunging strikes and biting are the most common attacks of the Serpent. It can also knock you down repeatedly with its jaws as part of a special grab motion. This move only delivers damage once.
• The Serpent will occasionally raise its head high and then bash its jaw into the floor, ejecting lava in a broad area. This attack can be evaded or blocked.
• If you want to use the Serpent-Hunter, you should poke him frequently in between attacks.
• Enough headshots will knock the Serpent out for a short time, giving you a much-needed break from strikes.
• Those who are having trouble should activate the Mimic Tear summon and Godrick or Radahn’s Great Runes, which can considerably reduce the fight’s difficulty.

HOW TO BEAT GOD DEVOURING SERPENT

• Each swing of the Serpent-Hunter unleashes a powerful energy blast that is specifically lethal to the God-Devouring Serpent. Charged right-trigger attacks do the most damage but cost a lot of stamina, whereas charged left-trigger attacks appear to cause the boss a lot of posture damage.

  

• They come with a long wind-up motion that may expose you. You can also use two hands to boost the weapon’s damage output.

  

• The God-Devouring Serpent attacks you with a limited set of two or three attacks, and success is mostly dependent on timing.
• You should sprint to the left or right before an AOE attack, whereas direct assaults can be readily avoided by dodging right as the serpent’s head falls towards you.

The defeat of the boss causes a cutscene, which leads to an intriguing discovery and the start of the next round.

Completing the second phase rewards you with 130,000 runes, Rudyard’s Great Rune, and the Remembrance of the Blasphemous.
