(Picture: SUSUBABI TV via Youtube \/ FromSoftware)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This boss can be fought in different locations and there are variables to the build, resources, environment, and path you might have available. Here are the general tips and tricks for beating this boss regardless of where or when you encounter it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whether you are a melee or ranged player the key to this fight is to bait out the Guardian Lions attacks and wait for an opening. Some of the combos it uses can break your guard, so knowing when to back up and give yourself space is vital to making it through this fight safely.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wait for the Lion to perform its leaping attack and after that, it plunges into the ground and follows up with one more attack. This is your window to counter and deal some damage safely. When it does leap, remember to give yourself enough space to move around it and attack from behind or roll towards it to end up behind the boss and ready your counterattack.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use the environment to your advantage. Structures like pillars or passageways can offer respite while you heal or fire off long-range attacks like magic or arrows. An Area of Effect (AoE) attack that can go through the cover you are using and hit the Guardian Lion can also be helpful as he will rush towards you when taking cover.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before the fight begins, try sneaking up on the boss. If you get it right, you&#8217;ll want to try to land one solid heavy attack or Weapon skill. Then perform one or two light attacks and getting this right deals roughly a quarter of his health worth in damage, giving you an extra advantage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Spirit Summons will be a waste in this fight as the boss is just going to tear them apart. So saving the Focus Points (FP) you have on hand to buff weapons or perform skills is a far better plan.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Ballista strategy<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the Stormveil encounter of the Guardian Lion, you can use the ballistae firing at you as you lead up to the boss fight against it. You have to aggro the boss and lead him back down the ramp and through the gate.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/elden-ring-ancient-hero-of-zamor-boss\"><strong>Elden Ring Ancient Hero of Zamor boss &#8211; How to beat and location<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/soft-caps-stats-elden-ring\">Soft Caps for all stats in Elden Ring<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/meteorite-spell-elden-ring\">How to get Meteorite spell in Elden Ring<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/elden-ring\/demi-human-queen-maggie-boss-elden-ring\">Elden Ring Demi-Human Queen Maggie boss guide &#8211; How to beat and location<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once he follows, line up with the ballistae and make sure it is in between you and the ballista firing at you.
