Leshy is one of the four mighty bishops you’ll be facing off against in Cult of the Lamb. That means they’re more difficult than the common foe. Try not to be distracted by its disgusting mouth and follow our tips to defeat Leshy in the game.
How to defeat Leshy in Cult of the Lamb
Leshy is an amalgamation of bosses from the past four levels but to a monstrous level. We’ll explain how to avoid every move at its disposal.
The first is a circle of huge spikes that cover the entire arena. You’ll want to be patient with this. Wait until the spikes separate from each other while running to the edge of the arena. Now, once there’s a gap, roll towards Leshy but not too close where you take some damage. The green plumes from the ground will look scary, but you can pass them with no problem.
Another one of its attacks is when it releases a tonne of poisonous projectiles toward your lamb. When this happens, you’ll see red crosses on the ground. Avoid them by dodging to the other side of the arena.
While all the chaos is occurring, try to eliminate the lesser foes surrounding you. You don’t want to accidentally dodge into them and take unnecessary damage.
The best time to attack Leshy is when it’s charging up for an attack. It will lean its head forwards for a few seconds. Strike during these crucial moments and then dodge away to avoid any projectiles heading your way.
Towards the end of the fight, Leshy will start bashing its head on the ground around it. Make sure you keep your distance and get into your damage range once it’s finished bashing its head and has jumped out of the burrow it makes. By the way, don’t come into contact with Leshy while it’s underground, as its thorns will hurt you. The best option, honestly is to use ranged attacks if you store the energy for them.
Leshy is a more powerful version of Valefar and Barbatos, but if you can handle the timing of your dodges and find the most optimal time to attack, you’ll succeed against the first bishop that’s in your way.
