How To Beat The Sacred Resonance Of Tenacity
For this part of The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity boss guide, we will cover the tactics on how to legitimately beat the boss. We say this because there is also a method to ‘cheese’ the boss if you are really struggling to beat him or if you just want to get over with it as fast as possible. More on that later.
Here are the tactics you need to apply to defeat The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity in Lords of the Fallen:
- The Sacred Resonance’s attacks will build the Smite and Bleed status effects on you. This can be really bad if both stack up to deal a lot of damage to you once the bar is full. So, you’ll have to manage this throughout the fight.
- When it comes to his hammer attacks, as you would guess the attacks are slow and predictable since he has to swing around this heavy hammer. But this also means that if any of the hits actually connects on you, they will hit hard and take a big chunk of your health.
- There will be other mobs and enemies throughout this fight that you will need to deal with alongside The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity himself. While they are not too annoying, they can get in the way sometimes and will need to be dealt with.

- Using your heavy attacks in between his attacks is the best way to efficiently deal constant damage to him. Keep in mind that he can change the angle of his attacks while he has his hammer lifted up. So, only initiate your attacks after he strikes and is in his recovery animation.
- At some point, he will charge his hammer and imbue it with Radiance. His hammer will be glowing now and his attack will start building the Smite status effect on you. This is also the point where he will start doing Divine Nova AoE attack so watch out for it.
- Also, remember that when he lifts his hammer up high, his attack can be interrupted. So it’s recommended that you play aggressively but make sure you dodge or parry the attack in case you did not manage to interrupt it in time.
How To Beat The Sacred Resonance Of Tenacity (Cheese Method)
This will come in handy if your best shot at defeating The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity wasn’t enough. Or, maybe you just want to get through it as fast as possible and get the rewards. For this part of The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity boss guide, we will show you the cheese method of defeating this boss quickly.
- When you enter the arena of the boss fight, there is a staircase to the left of the cell. This will be blocked by a blue parasite, which you can remove. Once that’s done, you can make The Sacred Resonance of Tenacity follow you up these stairs and then simply roll off the edge at the very top.
- This will make him also follow you in a similar fashion but he will take fall damage for that jump. Now you can just rinse and repeat this over and over until his entire health pool is taken away and he is defeated.
