Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?

Consider equipping a weapon or spell with good range so you could continue getting in damage from afar.

Just put on the tankiest armor set you have available and you should be fine.

Astel will attempt to grab you in its pincers if you get too close.

For sorcerers,Rock Slingis your best bet here; Faith builds will find success with Stone of Gurranq.

A highly leveled up bow and arrow can do the trick, too.

As mentioned, Astel is susceptible to Scarlet Rot.

Astel’s moveset is deadly whether you’re across the arena or face-to-face.

Both attacks are well telegraphed and easy to dodge.

(you’re able to also avoid them altogether by fighting from a distance).
