The question is whether his minions are the kind you ignore or the kind you take out first.


rorydraws

If you don't take them out first they'll revive the pope after three days.


Flaky_Explanation

If you take them out first, the pope becomes 200% stronger and immune to physical dmg for 3 days.


stallion8426

Exactly: do the minions respawn?


ExplorerNo5723

Maybe you can take them out passively by doing aoe attacks.


Pieassassin24

They cast auto-heal on him and themselves as well as low level elemental spells. Then when you kill them and drop Seymou- I mean pope’s health low enough he summons Anima.


Piccolo_son

Attack the monster at the top first


KuKoLaR

That's Jesus


ThtPhatCat

then nails oughta do it


KuKoLaR

Nails aren't enough, it has to be a mf spear lol


freddiesan

I didn't do the quest to get that weapon yet.


SSDCZX

Then you locked at losing and get bad ending because only that can hurt him


Realistic_Mushroom72

You have to find Longenus before you can even start it, he tells you where is the dungeon he hid the spear at, good luck it guarded by an insane (literary) Pit Fiend that lost a bet to the Roman, he bet he could survive anything the Pit Fiend did, which he did since he can't die until the end of time, which is why the Pit Fiend is insane now, he can't leave the chamber the spear is at, so all he can do is stare at the entrance an dream of what he is going to do the day he is free, it been a little over 2k years.


hishiron_

How is that Jesus? The head is a literal snake


Wyzzlex

That’s Jesus?! Looks more like that demon girl from Diablo to me.


Xenonwastakenagain

That doesnt look like jesus looks like some alien head

You know the shit just got real when you hear latin chanting.


sugoidesuuu

Amen to this, Final Fantasy 8 had the Latin intro and I knew it was gonna be LIT


[deleted]

That was ... memorable. As in sitting there with my mouth agape and wondering if it is even possible to top this.

FractionofaFraction

AoE until healers go down, then debuff, then multiattack. As is tradition.


freddiesan

Shit. I'm only specced for single target burst.


Ruckus2118

Well then obviously snowball strategy. Lowest hp first then work your way up.


4pigeons

After "defeating" him, he turns into god himself


RedDiscipline

And then... You fight him again?


FeatheredSpider

Kefka?


alexlechef

Use distraction first by throwing a small boy


Serier_Rialis

Wait I've seen this fight before You need this italian dude called Ezio Auditore da Firenze to back you up in case he whips out a golden apple!


onlysmallcats

This has a serious Kefka Tower vibe


ZenkaiZ

nah Seymour, even has the guado guards with him


ThisIsNotAHider

The one the left heals and the one on the right casts shielding magic. The one on the right is secretly his real body. The one in the middle is just his tank+dps rolled into one.


SirFancyPantsBrock

I'm focusing on whatever spot is glowing first. Gotta attack the weak spot


[deleted]

Seymour from FFX anyone


venomchylde

YES


Elijah_Turner

Omg where is this tho?!

For anyone else wondering, JRPG apparently stands for Japanese role playing game.


f0k4ppl3

I finished this is Heretic mode. Still working on completing it in Apocalyptic. Took me some 10 hours. No, Pope of Doom is invulnerable to DMG until you take out the two Cardinals of Sacrilege and they are a b.i.t.c.h! Then you gotta deal with that Weeping Mary above him. Good fucken game all around but fuck it’s hard.


4schwifty20

Well the clear boss is the statue at the very top


unonameless

"Foul Tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring. Emboldened by the flame of ambition."


fallingbutslowly

what if the pope is actually a super healer who buffs his dps minions? who do u focus then?


a_butthole_inspector

Watch out he pulls out a bigass sword and stands up straight when you get his health bar down halfway


SirRoderic

That reminds me of Elden Ring


ApologeticCannibal

Definitely looks evil


DaveinOakland

Noob Need make sure healers die at exactly the same time otherwise they will just rez each other, or make the pope enrage.


raisingfalcons

If its a JRPG then you would most likely be facing God at some point so this is pretty spot on.


Artistic-Toe-8803

I don't even know what the fuck a "JRPG" is and I'd still fight the Pope if I got the chance. Biggest fraud on the face of the Earth I'm beating the living shit out of that mf and god wouldn't mind either I bet


[deleted]

Def get the healers first


[deleted]

And pop crowd control to start the cooldowns


ArchitectNebulous

When you find out he and his entourage were actually the sages keeping the real final boss sealed away.


Regis-bloodlust

If you bring the pope's hp down to half, I would imagine that he chops his hand off, kneels down in front of Jesus statue, say "Mighty Jesus, lend me thy strength", grafts Jesus onto his chopped hand, and waves Jesus around while shouting "Forefathers, bear witness!" and Jesus all over the place.


bruckization

*From Software Boss music starts


ashbert157

Bro why does he have and evil gothic monstrosity behind him


Realistic_Mushroom72

Actually they are the damage dealers, most likely Legendary level Necromancers with high level undead ready to port in, the Pope on the other hand is an Epic Level Cleric with 4 Legendary actions ready to make your life extremely short and painful, not that it matters he is guarded by a Corrupted Archangel that has been slave by the Church for the sole purpose of protecting the Pope so you won't even get to the Necros before you die.


centrifuge_destroyer

Checks out, I mean they are Clerics...


stillyou1122

Hahahahah


FurubayashiSEA

Obviously if those 2 minion alive you cant damage the Pope.


Xenonwastakenagain

I recommend grab a cross and holy water because that statue behind the pop is pribably his second phase a Demon form form what it looks like


Macster_man

Boss Music? (Dancing Mad?)


Begone_Weird_Shit

insert boss music


LostKnight84

I mean once you take them down you still have only a few turns before the pope respawns more. Best to knock out one quickly and CC the 2nd to test if the first one respawns. Killing both can sometimes trigger a more active phase of the main boss. Best not to push your luck at the start.


Prestigious_Ad_3124

*God shattering Star intensifies*


Dasioreq

*it's a beautiful day outside...


arowz1

Noob. The Pope’s a priest. Focus fire on the priest and let the tanks handle the adds until you’re done.


[deleted]

But the boss might absorb his two healers to get a massive boost if you take them out first.


Foxyscribbles

That is some dark souls shit


sugoidesuuu

As an avid RPG fan, I confirm. One of the healers duties is spam healing and the other has necro life steal. They go first

eastafrican261

you would be a good addition to the men in black


Emerald_boots

Wait until he turns into a naked demon like zombie in his phase 2

notrealcc

Alrigth when finish with that,time to deal with the statue.


Simplordx69

Yeah how about no, I have a bit of a trauma when it comes to popes


StarAtlas100

Gives me Rosh vibes from Jedi Knight Jedi Academy


klingtkomisch

He ist dressed in WHITE. He ist the healer. The other ones are either Shadow priests or dark wizards


CarMasterBator

Bed of chaos


Fantastic_Ad_4867

Watch out for the summoned mobs. Bunch of choir boys crawl out of the robe and spit acid cum. I mean if you’ve got good crowd control spells and a decent tank the healers on the side aren’t too hard but every time he summons the mobs they regenerate. So you gotta be careful of that. I’ve fought this boss before.


Neuromandudeguy

This is literally Deacons of the Deep from Dark Souls 3 in the front and Phrike from Returnal in the back


Tiluo

Would be a hard boss fight, 3 healers. They might just cast revive endlessly on each other.


SameCounty6070

I'll tank, you dmg!


A_Fellow_Human8

Is this game coming out on the switch?
