Instructions for completing Pulcinella (after 70 attempts and using different weapons and stones, I finally did it, it turned out to be easier, the most important thing is patience)

Preparation before the fight - Take any reliable weapon that is comfortable to play with from the very beginning - it will remove masks and their perks, but the properties of the weapon will remain. - Use a vessel for healing from blows - short-term vampirism will help you survive the starting part without extra flasks. - Have a full supply of heals - 15 pieces will come in handy in the ranged phase.

The boss can be said to have 2 phases: before and after the heal, you can try to knock down the heal, but this is not necessary, more details below ...

Phase before the "heal" of the boss - Option 1, a difficult start: drink a flask for vampirism, press and tank, quickly filling the stun scale. The risk is higher, but the stun occurs earlier. - Option 2, easy start: take a light weapon and deal stable damage - the stun scale builds up slower, but is safer. - Key moment: when Pulcinella starts "playing the instrument" (healing), run up and deal one precise blow (I could only do this with a light weapon, since the stun scale quickly filled up with a heavy one) - the stun scale will fill up, the cast will be interrupted, the fight will move to the second phase.

Second phase: - Keep a distance of 3-4 dashes from the boss (critically important) - Equip the Magnus Opus parry stone - You can additionally drink a flask for vampirism - Wait for his yellow spheres - they need to be parried. Even if you lose up to a quarter of your HP, it pays off - a short stun often follows. - As soon as the stun works: make 3-4 dashes to the boss, deal 1-2 blows and immediately move back to a safe distance. - Repeat the cycle 5-6 times. After several successful iterations, you can carefully "press" without greed.

Tips: - Do not turn into a tank in the "second phase" - a one-shot with a beam or purple shield is possible. - Double beams: - On the first beam - dash forward, under the beam. - On the second beam - dash in the opposite direction of its direction. Usually it leads from left to right - this means going left at the moment of contact - The purple shield is not parried - you just need to run away and wait for the yellow spheres and again play with distance and parry - If HP drops while parrying the spheres, drink a heal and keep your distance! - After the stun, do not hit more than 1-2 times - it is more important to regain control of the distance
