Omenkiller Combat information

Negations (or Absorptions)

The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Resistances

The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Elden Ring Omenkiller Boss Guide

 

Omenkiller Fight Strategy

The Best Tips for Omenkiller:

  • There are three dogs that can be cleared before the fight. First fall off the ramp side and aggro the dog near the house. After it dies, the second dog should aggro. The final dog is behind the tree to the left of the boss. Stand on the large root near the house and take it out with arrows.
  • Bring Stanching Boluses Item to account for Hemorrhage build up.
Melee Users

The most challenging part of the Omenkiller fight is the environment. Omenkiller does a double slam jump attack three times in a row, that will likelu one-shot light armor wearers, combo medium armor wearers in 2 hits, and instantly stagger all but the strongest shields. If you get caught on some of the junk lying around, you will die. So take some time to really look at the area. You will want to wear enough armor to survive at least one of his double slam jump attacks, while keeping in the medium load range.

Defensively, simply backing up is enough to avoid almost all of his attacks - as long as you don't get caught on the environment. The only one to watch out for is his jump attacks. You can back away from them, and the timing for rolls is not too difficult, but getting tagged by the first or second attack of the combo is usually death. The third attack in the combo has a deceptively long range as well, so be sure and have your shield up even if you think you won't get hit.

Omenkiller uses the fire defensively, so it's fairly easy to back away from. But you should try to push around the outside of the burning patch, because you don't want to get trapped from backing up, and being at mid range can trigger his jump attack.

Omenkiller has relatively low poise, use your strong attack and it should interrupt him. If your weapon's strong attack does not interrupt him, you should try a heavier weapon. Because of this, he is highly susceptible to guard counters, but it's recommended that you back out of the first swing and let the second hit your shield for the counter. Be sure and watch your Hemorrhage meter though, and equip some bleed preventative tools if it builds too fast for you to manage.

Magic and Ranged Users

Ranged is similar to melee. If you can equip a shield and weapon heavy enough to interrupt Omenkiller with a strong attack, you might find it easier to just fight him in melee. However, note that being near him is dangerous because his blade hits deal a lot of damage and may inflict Hemorrhage.  

Omenkiller Attacks & Counters

Attack Description Counter
Swing parry icon 40pxSwings one of its cleavers in various directions Roll away or use the attack's telegraphed wind-up to parry it
Jumping Slam parry icon 40pxLeaps forward and slams both blades to the ground Roll to either side for each jump, and be careful not to get caught on the level geometry. It takes a long time to recover after the third jump, so use that opportunity to or land a few hits or get a backstab
Twirling Swing parry icon 40pxSwings both cleavers clockwise as it turns 180°. Used when you're behind it Roll to your right or parry the first cleaver
Fire Breath Breathes fire that lingers on the ground for a short time Move back and avoid the burning patch of ground. This is a good opportunity to use items or cast spells

parry icon 40px: Attack can be parried

      If you wanna abuse this guy in the village of Albinaurics and happen to be doing mage build, just get on torrent and then hop onto the roof of the house closer to the bonfire (I jumped from the tree). Then while locked onto him, cast rock sling. The projectiles spawn in front of you and follow locked targets as soon as you start casting. This way even tho he's gonna be stuck under you spamming his attacks, you will be able to easily kill him while he and his dogs can't do jack ****. Sometimes he might back off, but you can just use a bow or a kukri to aggro him back. Though, if you wanna avoid that, just make sure he's spamming his attacks. Also if you keep delocking because of the roof, just make sure you cast rock sling when locked and the projectiles should follow him even after you unlock. 10/10 fight

        this fight seems to be a callback and an apology by Fromsoft for the Capra Demon, the exact two dogs, the appearance of the main boss and even his choice of weapons, everything absolutely similar, only this time with a far, far better arena, so i say apologies accepted, for this time, the battle was indeed enjoyable.

          Something about these dudes is terrifying. more than the mask.. it's there demeanor and imposing stature I believe. Also a huge one is they are dangerous af.

                As most people have already said this is a spiritual successor to the capra demon, dual cleavers, horns (albiet on a helm instead of sprouting from head), and he's accompanied by 2 dogs

                    Alternate strategy for the Omenkiller in Village of the Albinaurics: stand on the roof of the nearby shack and use ranged attacks. He can't it you and isn't smart enough to hide.

                      Something interesting, if you go to Seluvis' puppet basement before killing Omenkiller at Village of the Albinaurics, the Omenkiller puppet's eyes are glowing orange. After killing Omenkiller in Village of the Albinaurics and returning, the puppets eyes are no longer glowing. What could this mean? Was this puppet body what was controlling the Omenkiller in the village, or that Seluvis sent the cursemongers who ransaked the place looking for the Secret Haligtree Medallion? It was Gideon who was seeking it from Latenna before, in any case it's interesting that the puppets eyes are lit like that if you go into that area kind of early and see it.

                        Ignore the "guide" - Mount up and pass him by with a light attack, will be an easy dodge of his attacks most of the time

                          If you orient your camera upwards, you can actually toss firebombs to kill the two dogs past the fog wall. Afterwards, go up the stairway and train him to follow. He will eventually fall, giving you a window for a plunging attack. Rinse and repeat. Be sure to open the gateway beyond the boss encounter, that will loop back to Firelink Shrine as a shortcut.

                            Idk if I was overleveled but I beat this guy first try with the skeleton ashes, Bastard's Stars, and Ice Breath. I didn't even notice the dogs down the hill until I killed him.

                              This boss is pathetic. Summon Wolves or any of the offensive fast Ash Spirit. Then climb up to one of the houses to the right of the area and barrage him with spells. He dies without even getting a hit.

                                It is true that the environtment is the greatest enemy here. Single bladed attacks are easily blocked and counterattacked, interrupting his combo, but like it is said in the article, one must avoid the double slam.

                                  Somehow I did not realize that this guy was a boss. I just thought he was a strong enemy because I don't remember seeing a boss health bar while fighting him. I must have killed him though because I have the crucible knot in my inventory and Nepheli Loux's storyline continued. Has anyone else had this experience with him?

                                      He wields two big cleaver like weapons, makes jump attacks and has 3 undead dogs to back him up. He's basically Capra Demon from DS1 lol

                                        Am i the only one who thinks this boss is a reference to the Kapra demon ? Double sword big guy surrounded with a few dogs in a 2 height level arena with trees ?

                                        • His damage is no joke, and his fire attacks are annoying. I killed him by killing the caster on the bridge and then drawing him out with a bow to avoid the hounds. He's easily parried, so I recommend throwing on your heaviest armor and best Parry shield. In particular, his fatal jumping slam is easily parried. Beware, every time he gets up he will do a 180 spin attack (I didn't attempt to parry it), and usually follows with a breath. Only took a couple deaths of trying to parry to kill him.

                                            In the village, there’s like a tiny ledge and if you make him jump down, his landing animation is quite long. You can use this time to get attacks him. Easily beatable by exploiting this.

Hit him one or twice after each combo, rinse and repeat.
