Thanks mizaki that was very fun boss to face TWICE

Submit

most underrated boss imo. this is in the top 5 for me tbh

Submit

Wow... Meatshield summons are the best option for a pressuring boss???? No way! Thanks Fextralife commenters!

Submit

Huh? Low HP?.. melted with black flame (the ball, not even scouring). Was surprised how quick the fight was going so I started tossing random throwables at her to extend the fight.

More like; Loretta, B!**h of The Haligtree

Ogha is the best summon for her if you keep her occupied away. His greatarrows will interrupt most of her glintblade casts and mid-attack.

Submit

Why tf would I even wish to fight her? She literally is one of the few people doing GOOD. Literally trying to save a race that's being butchered left and right because of some bastard who values a medallion over thousands of innocent lives.

Submit

loretta fan club, i love this bih she is so badass. support 4 my powerful laddies. she’s so cool i don’t even mind when she ganks me. btw her spirit version in caria manor whooped me 10x more times than her real fight, i guess the million times i fought her then overprepared me for the real deal

Albinauric whoman?

Loretta has a BBL

Lv1 advice: get your greatshield bois, scorpions stinger, poison arrows, and lightning pots. Spelldrake+2 and magic fortification definitely helps, but it's best to just not get hit. Proc poison first, let your greatshield soldiers keep her attention but beware, she will kill them fast, so you'll have to do your fair share. After she's poisoned rush in and proc rot asap. If you're lucky the ashes will connect some frost pots but don't wait for it to happen, once she's got both poison and rot, toss your lightning pots and she should go down pretty quickly.

Submit

Greirat will be happy to know she is alive

Submit

If she pins you into a corner with her butt you actually just win, she can't hit you from there and won't back away for extended periods of time - enough to rush her down with melee.

Submit

plump sort but hole ahead

Submit

cool fight, annoying runback

Submit

This one fight beautifully

Submit

Got tired of this fight and just oneshot her with Meteor of Astel

Submit

lol noob boss but then again it is a spell caster so that could be why it's so trash lol.

Submit

smash

Submit

This boss reminds me of Dark Souls bosses, fairly balanced but the path to the boss is treacherous.

Submit

This is the worst description of how to get there. "Drop down after..." Ok. There is no where to go.

Submit

Loretta is a dude...

Submit

Lions Claw + light roll kind of destroyed her

Submit

RL1 dream crusher. She's so easy on most runs I took it for granted that I was waltzing my way to Elphael. Good fight once you learn it after getting your face bashed in for ages

Submit

So this is just a lore thing and doesn't really matter, but the very fact that Loretta is a cavalry knight should probably be the end all be all on the Albinauric discussion. We've established that first generation Albinaurics have weak legs, yet Loretta is utilizing a shield and spear at the same time- meaning she's directing the horse with her calves and most likely some spurs. That takes quite a bit of strength in the legs. I suppose she could be hiding her second generation frog head under that funky helmet, but I kind of doubt it lol

I recently fought Loretta in the Haligtree on my first playthrough and it awesome having a ranged duel with her using the Greatbow on my build based on Tomoe Gozen from FGO. One thing I realized while fighting her in that was is that she has more depth in her mechanics than one might think. For instance, she seemed to stagger more easily compared to Tree sentinels with a single great arrow stunning her and interrupting her attacks pretty much all the time. That means when she casts Glintstone Phalanx to summon those homing swords above her, you can stop her if hit her fast enough or at least reduce the amount of summoned swords if you were a bit slow. This is something that becomes important in her phase 2 as if she has a full salvo of glintstone Phalanx ready and goes for Loretta's Mastery ( where she charges multiple homing arrows on her greatbow), it can be a tough dodge as if you try do dodge the sword volley, her greatarrows would act as a rollcatch that hits really hard. As such, you should try to take advantage of her getting stunned easily to prevent that from happening if possible by cancelling her Glintstone Phalanx cast. And if she doesn't have Glintstone Phalanx up and goes for Loretta's Mastery, you can cancel that too in the same way but she recasts it after recovery from my experience. Still, you gained a free opening to hit her safely as your reward for preventing her spellcasting. But for melee users, do note that her swinging her sickle to use Glintstone Phalanx also counts doubles as an attack so keep that in mind. As for timing my shots to hit her, her hopping horizontally most of the time can make you miss easily so I hold my arrow to wait for her to come to a stop to cast a spell or come at me in a straight line to do a melee attack. But I had to be constantly on my guard as she could either go for casting glintstone Phalanx or quickly shoot Glintstone star at me, which she can spam like 5 times in a row before doing Loretta's slash if I'm close. Overall, it was a fun game of proper positioning and timing while keeping an eye out for specific attacks. Also when you first enter the boss fight, she jumps up high to cast Glintstone Phalanx instead of stopping on ground level like she normally does. You can miss the first shot as she kinda lands slightly to the side. Try to hit her before she jumps up or right after she lands, just before the swords fire if you are using a greatbow like me or something similar.

Submit

time to destroy her booty with my lovely radahn greatsword jump attack

Submit

Heavens, She was already dead.

Submit

If there was one situation where Thop's Barrier should shine, it should be here. However, you can't deflect the arrows. Very nice.

Submit

beat at lvl 80 by stunning her using cragblade+charged attacks, didn’t use the Physick tear for stun damage so if you’re struggling maybe try this?

Submit

I really don't understand what people love about this boss so much, i just find her to be, annoying magic spamming version of erdtree sentinel, with too high of a damage output to be fun.

Submit

Level 21 shield support build here: level 9 greatshield boys tanked him the entire time, put a rot breath then a frost breath then backed away and used bleed bolts on him, died in like 30 seconds on the first try. I usually bounce between Laretta for mobile bosses, Crystalian for tanky aoe bosses like the dude in Leyndell Catacombs, and anything unknown i just pop the bully brigade shield boys. Easiest boss fight yet.

Submit

Actually pretty easy with a low level faith build and the right stuff. Killed her at rl44
+8/+3 weps on second try using +10 Floh, Barrier of Gold, Ancient Dragons Lightning Strike and a few sleep pots.

Submit

Greirat would be happy :).

Submit

Actual fun bossfight in the endgame? Impossible!

Submit

Oleg and Black Blade *gg*

Submit

I discovered that Rejection can stun her and cancel any of her moves(and poise-break if you use it certain amount of times), so everytime I go in co-op I keep spamming Rejection and Loretta dies in less than a minute.

Submit

Bolt of Granssax really make this boss possible to defeat for me. This time i don't even need summon to distract enough for full charge.

Submit

I HATE THIS MOTHER****ING SPAMMER PIECE OF **** BOSS

Submit

I love glintblades i love glintblades i love glintblades i love glintblades i love glintblades i love glint- *You died*

Submit

Wished I didn't use mimic tear, makes a potentially interesting battle way too easy.

P.S.: Don't use summons on the first try on any boss.

Submit

My frist playthrough this boss was quite hard. In my second it was VERY easy by spamming Lightning Spear and staying away dodging spells (light roll makes it quite easy)

Submit

I found the easiest way to beat him (or her?) as a melee build is to stay as close them as possible with relentless heavy attacks and not give them any breathing room

Submit

I actually like this fight, I get its the like 5th Tree Sentinel fight but I think the magic brings just enough extra challenge that it makes it refreshing to fight this enemy archtype again. Not a super-challenging fight given the area, I find this moveset very fun to dodge and play around and its a nice quick challenge after the crapshow that is the area before her.

Submit

Can be cheesed with poison mist. Use assassin's gambit, unseen form, crepus vial, concealing veil and bait to stay still with projectile attack like spectral lance weapon art.

Submit

This boss sucks fighting at level 1.

Submit

Loretta drops 450k runes in NG+3, not 440k

Submit

She gives 510000 runes at NG+ 7

Submit

At higher levels on my ng+14 mage and faith build. Throw tiche out there to take some shots. Dodge a bit, then put on terra and start meteorite of astel. Using prince of death and meteorite staff works well. Should do the same with the lusats staff

Submit

mimic and using +10 river of blood gave me sub 30sec

Submit

If the Albinaurics were created by means of sorcery, she may feel pity for them as a former Carian Knight as she likely would've seen their means of creation and suffering that follows

Submit

Loretta, Dump truck Ass if the Haligtree.
Seriously her armor is THICC and it's a disgrace that there's no armored dresses to pair with it

Submit

On NG+ 2 loretta droops 400k runes exactly when u kill her
Edit: I meant on NG+ 1 not 2

Submit

She should be called “Loretta, Bow of Miquella” and you cannot change my mind.

No, those mages can poise through pretty much everything and f**k your s**t up. Trying to fight them head on is a fools errand. I know not everyone likes them and some don't use them because of RP reasons but a great bow from an elevated position IS the most effective way for non FTH / INT builds. Also, they only need to be dealt with once, when the elevator shortcut is opened you can take the lift down from Haligtree town grace, crouch until the nearest one is walking up the bridge towards the second mage, then sneak to Loretta's boss area. I'm on my second playthrough and this worked for me twice.

Submit

erdtree greatshield +9

Submit

Everyone seems to be over the top about how good this boss is but I absolutely hate him. He's the worst mounted boss in my opinion, spamming magic non-stop and then there's that one move when he swings downwards and follows up with a stab, even with heavy armor it stunlocks you into a true combo that's definately a oneshot for mages

Submit

This boss is rather weak to sleep lol

Submit

The two Haima mages before this boss are ridiculously bad level design.

Try to use ranged? They'll destroy you from a distance. Try to be defensive going across the bridge? They'll destroy you from a distance.
Try to run down the bridge to use melee? Then you can't look at the one behind you, so he can land free shots and destroy you.
Try to use the walls for cover? They have holes in them and the mages will use AoE spells that go through the walls and destroy you.

What are you meant to do against these enemies? Cross your fingers and run?

Submit

easy and fun

Submit

girlboss

Submit

Whats the lore reason reason why her spirit is in the other castle?

Submit

Redmane Knight Ogha trivializes this fight, since its greatbow attacks stragger Lorreta almost everytime. If you are struggling with this fight I would highly recommend summoning Ogha. My fifth try I used Ogha and it was easy. I only had to use one halth flask and it was a breeze.

Submit

Not sure how this happened but I haven't gotten the achievement after killing her.

Submit

I found can cheese her with greatsword roll thrusts, high poise, and magic resistance. Here's my formula

Lionel's Armor. Arsenal Talisman. Spelldrake Talisman. Pearldrake Talisman. Barriers of Gold. This will allow you to dodge the Glintblade spam opportunistically but you don't need to focus on it.

Then. Godslayer's Greatsword and just spam roll thrust (dodge roll + basic attack) through her melees. Again don't worry about the Glintblade spam. If she stance breaks (likely), use Queen's Black Flame.

(I also popped Golden Vow and using a Fire-shrouding/Fath-knot physick. This definitely helped)

Submit

I want her horse's armor for Torrent.

Submit

it took me 2 tries at rl 100 to kill her
whenever she casts the phalanx and a spell afterward, you can usually run to the right or left and the spells will fly past you
also greatshield soldier ashes work well against her
i personally spammed fortissax's lightning spears and took her down fairly easily

Submit

I summoned my Greatshield Bois against her, and they just pushed her into a corner and stunlocked her into oblivion, i would've proly felt alot worse about if i didn't get completely reamed by Mohg several times beforehand.

Submit

So Greirat's grandma was actually the horse-riding magic knight all along.

Submit

i used to really struggle with her and now that i dont anymore my advice is to
1. pick up the spelldrake +2 talisman
2. dont pay any respect to the floating daggers. i used to be scared of them and play way too passively waiting for them to fire off, and she would use the distance i created to spam spells which would whittle me down or outright oneshot in the case of the bow. pretty much just stay close

Submit

btw she has about 13625 hp on NG.. I rotted her from the start to finish and the dmg fits the rot damage numbers^^

Submit

I don't know if it's a bug in her AI or what, but all she did the whole fight was swat at my summon and didn't cast any spells, barely moved from her spot once she engaged. Fight lasted maybe a minute if that, very bizarre experience compared to the Carian fight

I can't believe they made Royal Knight Loretta real

Submit

Phalanx up. Summon Tiche. Dodge roll incoming Loretta. Move back so she attacks Tiche. Drink bottle and fire off azure comet. Loretta dies. I thought this would be a really tough fight and now I will never now… Over in less than a minute but I won’t complain.

Submit

+10 Dung Eater did his thing while I ate popcorn from a distance. Every now and again I'd toss a Rock Sling in to lend a hand. I have no regrets after the number of times I've already died (one time loosing 190k runes) in this level. Dung Eater is so OP. Complete game changer. It's made so many of these bosses so much more enjoyable for me as I simply want to enjoy the game at my age (40).

Submit

If you don't care to learn the timing to dodge Loretta's Mastery (it's much less forgiving than her normal bow spell as it's very likely to one-shot you), you can just tank through it using the Silver Mirror Shield.

Submit

Tiche did all of the hard work for me. When Loretta finally smoked her, I waded it and cleaned up. Thanks, Tiche!

Submit

Easy fight lol. My +10 Giant rats ruined her

Submit

Got one-shot by her bow spell at ~60% HP with 60 vigor and both anti-magic talismans equipped. Not complaining, just in awe.

Submit

But why no Torrent though? Fighting enemies on horseback is so much more fun when you can also mount up, this is just a boring "roll around and dodge the magic spam" fight

Submit

I was spamming jumps attacks and most of her slashes were just hitting the air so funny after that she just oneshot me

Submit

The parry short cut cheese still works at 1.05, tested n succeeded yesterday
glad not needing to run throu thos monstrosity

Submit

This ***** on NG+ is vicious! Her greatbow attack one shots a 50 vigor build.

Submit

I died, but Tiche killed her at the same time. Got no runes though! Is that because Tiche killed her not me?

Submit

Other bosses: flies into the arena, waits behind a massive golden gate, monologues, awakens from their slumber, etc.

Loretta: R E N D E R S

Submit

Eternal Darkness turns this boss into an awesome spell-counterspell duel. Definitely recommend using it.

If you're a mage, rock sling is your friend because of its physical damage.

Submit

Another re-used/re-skinned boss, what fun

Submit

Is the stake of marika bugged for anyone else? I kept respawning at the latest grace which made the way back to boss room a bit annoying

Submit

The only real issue I have with this fight is that seeming stun lock if you get hit by her jumping attack into thrust attack combo. The stagger from the first jump attack hit lasts for days.

Submit

MOMMY'S BACKKK

Submit

Fighting Loretta in Caria Manor immediately made me think we'd refight her somewhere. Right when I had thought that "eh, she was the same color as the manor ghosts, she must have just been a specter", she shows up at the end of that pathway and goes "sup *****"

Submit

This is my waifu 100%

Submit

Fun boss fight, real shame she's in such an awful and annoying area

Submit

This is definitely a rough fight for int users since she’s resistant to magic, so if you’re having any trouble just use the fallingstar beast jaw and spam the weapon art, it does pretty good damage and has so much poise break potential that you’ll be able to riposte her every 7-8 casts, sooner with the shard of Alexander

Submit

tell greyrat we found Loreta she left undead settlement

Submit

I think the resistance is not correct as I had to hit her more than 10 times with antspur rapier to scarlet rot her

Submit

Dispite no reposte this is my favorite boss to parry

Submit

Don't know why this says strong to hemorrhage when I absolutely annihilated her with bleed daggers.
