…how to skip the 1-shot death skulls in the Uber Lilith fight.
I can kill her right away in phase 1, then stagger her and drain her life to nothing before she teleports to the top platform. Yet, she ALWAYS spawns the damn skulls.
I try staggering her again when she lands on the top platform, but she’s already spawned the skulls immediately.
Am I supposed to build the stagger bar up and wait until she lands at the top to stagger? I’ve seen Rob do it, skipping the skulls each time, but this hussy hoe always spawns the skulls for me.
Help a brutha out! Tell me the secret.
I didnt realize you can make her skip the skulls, but I beat her this morning with barb and strategy that worked for me was kill her right away phase 2 and then just go through the motions of the platform drops, but I made sure each new blood pile or whatever shoots them spawns on a spot of platform that will fall off, never on center platform.
Other than that I just ran in a circle mostly when skulls spawned and made sure not to go on falling platform too early. Took me likely 100 damn tries though, last platform is the problem…nowhere to go. Good luck.
Avoid them!
I also heard you can skip the skulls if you stagger her right away, but that’s kinda crazy to build stagger that fast, and I didn’t want to redo my entire build for crazy stagger. So I made sure I stagger her in the beginning after she spawns the first pools but before she flies off, then I empty her HP bar, then I start running as she’s burning the ground and dropping platforms.
Things that helped me do it:
- time your runs so that you’re entering the falling platform as late as possible and run at a wide arc
- the skulls can be faster than you in a straight line, but they can’t turn too well, so if there’s a few of them lining up behind you just make a sharp turn to lose all of them
- for that reason also in general try to move in a perpendicular direction relative to how the skulls get launched whenever you can
- don’t be afraid to run in ways that seem illogical, like e.g. away from the clean platform deeper into the tar if you need it to correct your timing, the worst thing is staying in place, except…
- when there’s only one platform left with the last blood pool on it after she tars the ground it stops shooting for a bit when she does the cutting animation on the platform; observe this and stop and wait when it does that or you might be too fast and have to leave the platform before the fire is out.
I did it with not enough health to survive a single skull hitting me and using Rallying Cry for movement speed at one time. If you can tank a hit maybe consider the heart of Prudent Life or something like that, it’s the one that makes you invulnerable after losing more than 20% of life in one hit. Could help you in the beginning when they sometimes clump together.
It took me 3 days to get through that fight. With time you will understand the fight more and stop panicking and feel more in control over it, baiting and dodging skulls. Keep at it! 
I’m talking specifically about when to stagger her in order to skip the skulls.
Appreciate the response though, brutha.
