Attacks

• Double Kill - Styx does two fast slashes and a lunge.
• Death Spin - He spins in a circle firing red blades in a 360° angle dealing damage. His spin attack deals area damage (for the circle) while the blades deal single target damage.
• Lunge - At 80% health Styx unlocks a new ability. He teleports behind the player and dashes towards them.
• Bat Swarm - He summons three bat-energy balls. Two from the sides closing in on the player and one from the front (it can sometimes curve)
• Gargoyles - At 50% HP he jumps into the air and summons two gargoyles to aid him in the fight.
• Ultimate Power - Styx levitates into the air darkening the screen of the player and summons 10 of his bat swarm attacks.
• Jump - Styx can now jump into the air and inflict "Heart strike"
• Teleport - He can now teleport behind the player.

Strategy

You should be at matched status to Styx or have full set of the upgraded Dread plate armour sanguine weapons and amulet of the blade master.

For spells you should have Ward of the Damned, Veil of Blood, Blood Fountain and Raging Tempest. You should prioritize healing before attacking. His most problematic attack is his "This is your end" attack or "A few allies".

So you could just tank the hits or heal through them. With ward of the damned counter his double kill attack. For his lunge just sidestep to the sides. Bat friends is the easiest attack to avoid just go forth or backwards. Styx's death spin can be dodged by sidestepping which is the best option just be sure when he does his spin to be far away). For his ultimate attack you should just heal through it plus Styx takes reduced damage during this move.
