How To Prepare For Tania’s Fight
Items
Like with other bosses in the game, you’ll want tofill out your inventorybefore the fight. You can use the following as a guideline:
Don’t worry if you can’t get that exact setup: you can easily break vases around you and collect available items. On top of that, some items havecurse values, so avoid using them if you have some unspent soul essence. Use items with curse values if you don’t have enough for upgrades.
Leveling Up
Even though you’ll want to spread your upgrades and focus on all stats, you should keep specific ones in mind if you must do some grinding before you start the fight.
As for the other stats, increase them as you see fit. Put some points into HP if you tend to run out of health.Go with MP and Strength if you struggle with Mana managementor keep getting your spells interrupted.

Tania’s First Phase Attacks
Once you feel good about your setup and levels, you should start the fight. You’ll notice a few common attacks Tania tends to use as you go through it.
During this phase, you want to keep her around mid-range. That way, if she plans to do a ranged attack, she’ll stand in place, but if she wants to do a melee attack, she’ll move close to you. You then have an easy tell to react to the attack and act accordingly.
She’ll move toward you for the five-hit combo and wait before attacking. Once the attack starts, you’ll want tododge about four or five timesto the side. You’ll then wait for the next attack before you dodge again. If you walk between the fourth and fifth hit, you can restore your Stamina.
For the horizontal laser, you shoulddodge through the laseror toward the camera to avoid it. If you’re charging a spell or low on Mana, try your best to dodge through it, so you’ll fill the charge faster or restore your Mana.
If she dashes toward you and begins charging her area of effect (AOE) attack, you should wait for a second before you roll away. Since the attack comes out quickly, you may’t reasonably react to it, so you’ll need to learn the timing.
Tania’s Second Phase Attacks
Once you drop her health below half health, she’ll start the second phase of the fight. During this phase, her attacks will become more powerful, and she’ll have additional properties added to them.
For example, for the AOE move, she’ll move toward you and pull you into the attack, so you’ll need to performmultiple dodgesif you want to avoid it. After using it, she’ll launch three energy balls, so roll toward the attacks to avoid them and restore your Mana.
Tania will also slam the ground with her fists, sending a wave of energy at you. Just dodge to the left or right to easily avoid this attack. She also has an attack where she shoots lasers at her feet and shoots them toward you, so you may dodge them the same way.
If Tania brings her two hands together, you’ll need tododge to the sideand run away constantly. If this attack hits you, you’ll take consistent damage and get stunlocked, so do your best to avoid it and keep running away.

How To Defeat Tania
You’ll want to follow this game plan to win the battle and maximize your odds against Tania.
Why You Should Do It
Stick With Ice Spells
Don’t bother with your Arcane spells, so stick with Ice throughout the battle.
If you have theIce auraready, you’ll take less damage. Also, your charged Ice spell deals more damage than the charged Arcane spell.
Charge Between Attacks
After Tania does an attack, you should immediately charge yourIce attack. Once you have it ready, target her, confirm it’s locked on, and unleash it.
Charging between attacks will help you deal as much damage as possible. Depending on your stats and the difficulty setting, it should only take ten or so charged attacks to defeat her.
Dodge Through Projectiles
Since dodging through melee attacks can pose challenges, you should dodge through the projectiles.
Doing so will restore your Mana and even fill your charge faster. For example, if she shoots a forward beam at you, you candodge through the spellto gain the benefits.
Avoid Running
Even though you may feel tempted to run, you should stick to walking.
If you run, you’ll reduce your Stamina, preventing you from avoiding an attack if you must dodge. You may also need to roll in quick succession, mainly if Tania uses her five-hit combo, so play it safe. As a general rule, avoid dropping below50 percent Staminato have enough for your needs.
Wait With Your Items
Hold off on using an item until Tania has just finished an attack.
If Tania attacks you while you use an item, you’ll get knocked down and drop the item. You must pick it back up to heal if you want to use it. You canroll out of the animationif you don’t think you’ll use it in time.
