Strategies


Melee Strategy


Take a right onto the area with the dead body, as it is much easier to stay out of the lava here. Now get the Centipede demon to follow you by dodging his grab and arm swing attacks. Once on the section of land with the dead body, run underneath it while it is standing on its hind legs, and start continuously swiping at its hind legs, and if you want to attack the tail for the Orange Charred Ring. This ring will help you greatly if you are having issues with the lava damage.
Usually, the centipede should not be able to hurt you at all down here, especially if you have a hard-hitting weapon.

Crystal Halberd


For this strategy you need: Crystal Halberd and magic weapon buff(And the necessary intelligence.)
Cast the spell before the battle.
First roll across to the small island, then the large one. Don't jump. Proceed to attack the demon with the halberd. You should dodge most of his attacks but occasionally block them.
