Before engaging the Divine Beast, use the Flask of Wondrous Physick with Thorny Cracked Tear and Greenburst Crystal Tear to enhance your damage output and stamina recovery. Cast Golden Vow to boost your attack and defense.
3. *Summon Support:*
Summon the Mimic Tear Ashes right at the start of the fight to distract the boss and deal additional damage. The Mimic Tear will mirror your build, providing significant support.
4. *Combat Tactics:*

Keep an eye on your buff durations and reapply them as necessary. Maintain pressure on the boss while avoiding its most dangerous moves. Your talismans will significantly boost your attack power, especially as the bleed effect takes hold.
