TL;DR
– Get the golden fleece
– Stack as much additional % damage as you can
– Destroy the boss with high damaging weapons or curses
Obtain a Talisman
First you must obtain 4 Talisman pieces to form a complete Talisman. These can be earned by completing unique quests outside crusades, such as fishing for The Fisherman or bringing Eyes of Witness to Plimbo
Unlock the Golden Fleece
In the temple you can use the Talisman you have obtained to unlocked Fleeces which provide buffs/debuffs to change your playstyle during a Crusade.
The best of all imo is the Golden Fleece, which lets you deal an additional 10% damage per enemy killed without taking damage, the downside of which is that you take double damage.
Find high damaging weapons/curses
With the Golden Fleece, +% damage will scale the damage of weapons with higher base damage far more than faster weapons with low base damage.
Find any hammer or axe. The hammer hits harder than the axe but is slower to wield, so take your preference. Prioritise the godly variant as it has very high base damage.
Also look out for the the highest damaging curse in the game, the Cleansing Fire, as it does absurd damage when you land all 3 projectiles
This helped me to kill Heket before it spawned the annoying flies
I also highly recommend the Divine Guardian curse as it gives you 2 seconds of invincibility. Along with some tarot cards for reduced fervour usage you can spam this ability to tank all hits long enough for you to whittle down the boss with your damage stacked axe/hammer.
I defeated Shamura by using this to tank all their hits and kill them with an axe stacked with 600% damage
Stack your damage and SLAY the boss
Play slowly and methodically to be able to keep stacking your damage before fighting the boss. Learn the movesets of enemies in the dungeons and very quickly you will be one-shotting most of them as you stack damage
A good target would be to have at least 500% additional damage stacked up. When you start the boss fight you should be able to deal enough damage to the boss to kill them before their first phase begins.
What if I have already beaten the boss for the first time? I can’t find them!
If you have already beaten the boss of a dungeon, you can challenge them again when you encounter their totem during a run in that dungeon
