BOSS / Malborn Offspring

Malborn Offspring Boss Guide

Two full health bars, fast multi-hit strings and lethal grabs make this the first endgame endurance check.

Area: The Unfound Path, first fight. Order: Main boss 8 of 11.

Preparation

A developed Genessa build offers the clearest non-parry plan; bring reliable Resolve generation.

Boss strategy

1. Respect the fast multi-hit strings and instant-kill grabs across the first health bar.
2. Move away from the revival lightning before the second health bar begins.
3. Use Faithful Doubles to draw attacks, then make a short running-heavy punish to refill Resolve and repeat.

Common mistake

Standing beside the body during the phase transition or spending all Resolve before the second bar.

Encounter facts

• Malborn Offspring is the first boss in The Unfound Path endgame sequence.
