Is there a easy way to beat Maria?

So I am a fire conjurer, and I can’t beat Maria. The best I’ve done is to half her hp. I tried to use a cheese strat by spamming placed explosives while being out of range of most attacks, but I still die. Any tips?

get skill

what weapons do you use

pop over the broken floor thing, blast or whatever, and then dodge reflex away

also make sure you stay on the high up part of the boat, she has some big aoe move that hits through walls that does a lot of damage

man shes the easiest boss in the game aside from iris and shura, i think in your case it is genuinely a skill issue

i mean that with no offence of course :pleading_face:

She literally can’t hit you with the giant AOE if you go to the upper deck of the ship where the steering wheel is, for my first run I just camped shooting from there

In second form the floor collapses but you can just jump back out and camp from up there

if your on the lower part of the boat, and she does the big tentacle attack, you can still get to the furthest ends of the boat and aim for when her invincibility ends

Thanks I’ll try that next time!

I use Kai Saber, Scimitars of Storm, and Ardent Siren Bow. My stats are 150 weapons and 106 into magic(I am not max yet)

Play very passive and spam projectiles, whether that’s beams, blasts or weapon projectiles.
In phase 2, don’t enter the lower deck, you can get stuck down there while she attacks.

When she starts charging up, head for the back or front of the ship. They’re safe zones from the tentacle attack. In phase 2, the front of the ship also allows you to attack her if she isn’t trying to tentacle you.

Make sure to get at least one hit in every now and then, otherwise her hp will reset

aint no way you be saying that with carina existing

i found maria easier than carina when i first fought each of them, but maybe thats just because ive gotten better

huh, i found maria to be a lot harder due to the arena countering my build (agility is not good in cramped places)

only time carina is a threat is when she decides to parry everything just because

i fought her with 0 agility so i guess that could have contributed to how easy i found her

Lol my build has 100 agility. Whenever I use sword draw flash strike, It almost always misses due to the crampedness

become aoe demon

if you manage to get a good sense of the timings to block and commit to killing her as fast as she can before she kills you, you can try and pull off my strat

hang around the bow of the boat on the lower deck, her tentacle attack doesn’t hit you there

everything else i’d just parry if it takes too much to dodge or jump around for smaller attacks like her little blasts and bullets and wear her down (i use a siren bow and just spam m1 after she changes positions or does an attack)

my strat is ultra-aggressive which is a problem and goes south extremely quick especially if she uses that invincibility aura, at that point i wouldn’t even try to stay there just evac out ASAP until that aura goes down

treat the fight like its a shootout

get the guns (use pluderers if you have the bullets are nice)

hide behind the ladder but stay near the cage too (AoE on some skills)

if you can parry run power if you are inconsistent hide in the cage and try to parry and run hp stuffs

when you get the opportunity, fire. if you use plunderers, unload all your shots if you waste one so they start regening/

spam magic m1s

Ask someone to help you in exchange for galleons and/or good items.

just get good.

you can place a camp on her arena.
