The Lords of the Fallen Pieta boss fight is the first major challenge of the game, and to beat it you’ll need patience, caution, and an awareness of the game’s mechanics that have been taught up until that time. As an angel of wrath, Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal focuses on heavy strikes and summons, but the advantage is that a lot of her moves are highly telegraphed, so while they hit like a truck, there’s a good chance to dodge or parry them in advance. Still, I’ll get more into that below in this guide on how to beat the Pieta boss fight in Lords of the Fallen.

Lords of the Fallen Pieta boss fight weaknesses, tips and strategy

Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal is the first major Lords of the Fallen boss fight, not including the training bosses fought in the tutorial before this. She’s certainly tough, but I found that if you play carefully and cautiously, you can have her beaten in a few attempts. Here’s some advice on what you can do to make it easier.

Again, it’ll take a few attempts to get it right if you’re not an experienced Soulslike veteran, but you’ll be able to do it eventually.

If you’re struggling, try farming a few levels against the enemies just outside, building up your stats so you can take on this foe more easily - nothing takes down an enemy like a level advantage.
