How To Beat Sínodo, Hymn of the Thousand Voices

The vast majority of Sínodo's attacks are Fire-based, with a few being Miasma, so fill all your Rosary Bead Slots up with items that prevent against these effects, or you will struggle much more than you should!

With that out of the way, Sínodo only has ten attacks, and while that may not seem like much, all of them hurt. Real bad. But, if you have the proper Rosary Beads equipped and know how to deal with them, you should be able to take them down convincingly!

Please note that you must hit Sínodo in the main head to deal damage. Hitting their body or side heads will be ineffective!

Flame Clouds

Right off the bat, Sínodo will launch their Flame Clouds attack at you, which summons an orb of fire near you before spraying clouds of flame downward, dealing mass Fire Damage on contact. You can Evade through the Flame Clouds or can Air Dash through the Flame Orb to evade this attack.

There will be more than one Flame Orb, as another one will spawn as soon as the previous one dies out. There will be roughly three of them, but you can dodge all of them the same way. Just ensure you give yourself enough space and time to react to the other ones!

Double Helix Miasma

Next is the Double Helix Miasma attack. Sínodo summons small pairs of Miasma Clouds along the ground before sprouting red centipedes from them that ascend upward,creating a Double Helix pattern.

To evade this attack,look for the pairs of Miasma Clouds on the ground and move to the left or right of them. There should be a wide open area where there aren't any Miasma Clouds. Make your way over there and wait for the gross centipedes to disappear.

This attack deals substantial damage, so ensure you aren't anywhere near it when it goes off. You can use the Bleeding Miracle Prayer to hit Sínodo from a safe distance and deal considerable damage during this attack!

Miasma Clouds

As soon as the Double Helix Miasma attack ends, Sínodo will summon a wave of Miasma Clouds across the groundtwo to three times, forcing you to utilize your Double Jump and Air Dash to avoid them.

Here, you can jump toward Sínodo and give them a smack in the face a few good times, as dodging the Miasma Clouds isn't overly challenging, as it just takes timing your Double Jump and Air Dash to land in the gaps between the waves.

After the waves of Miasma Clouds finish, you can land two or three hits on Sínodo before having to retreat and prepare for their following attacks!

Overhead Flame Clouds

Moving from the Miasma back to the fire, Sínodo will begin shooting Flame Clouds from a Flame Orb that appears above their head. Retreat to the far side of the arena and start launching Bleeding Miracles at them to get your damage in without needing to risk your own life!

Beam Of Fire

Following that, Sínodo will change their face to a woman's before turning into a raging Beam of Fire with a fierce pulse at its base. Standing at the base of the Beam of Fire will deal mass damage, and so will touching the Beam itself.

So, to avoid this attack, you must Double Jump and Air Dash away from the Beam of Fire to land outside of its radius. When it gets closer, Double Jump once more, having the attack end before you touchdown on the ground. You cannot attack them during this action, so just prepare for what's next, which is even more fire!

Orbs Of Light

Staying with their new face, Sínodo will send out a spiraling wave of Orbs of Light, turning this stage of the fight into a light bullet hell situation. Do your best to weave in and out of the Orbs, launching Bleeding Miracles at them wherever the opportunity presents itself.

You can also hit them in the head several times with your weapon when the attack ends, so be sure to take advantage of that, as you won't have many of those chances throughout the course of this encounter!

Fire Breathing

Remaining in their new form, Sínodo will have the middle-most face on both sides of their body begin to Breathe Fire, covering a vast area in front of them, forcing you to temporarily back off.

However, as you may have suspected, you can pelt them with more Bleeding Miracles here, allowing you to chip away at their health from a safe-ish distance without too much of a risk. When this attack ends,youcan also get a hit or two in with your weapon, which we recommend doing!

Charging Attack

Next is their Charging Attack, which has the woman's face begin charging before swiftly turning back into the old man and launching another Orbs of Light attack. Stand back to avoid the initial explosion of the Charging Attack, then proceed to dodge the Orbs of Light just as you did before.

From here, you will repeat all the previous attacks of Sínodo's until you reach their Metal Face stage, which we will cover in the remaining sections below!

Metal Face

After dropping Sínodo's health a bit past halfway, they will switch to a Metal Face, serving as a DPS check of sorts, similar to when an MMO Boss enters an enraged state, and you must kill them quickly or essentially die. Here, they only have one attack, which we will cover below!

Metal Face: Orbs Of Light Bullet Hell

When Sínodo dawns the Metal Face, they will launch seemingly never-ending Orbs of Light that are much more intense than the ones before it. Here, we recommend trying to weave in and out of them but ultimately trying to use your Bleeding Miracles to drain their health significantly.

When you run low on Fervor, try to get in close to land a few attacks, bail, and repeat until you accumulate enough to use your Bleeding Miracles again. This is the final stretch and Sínodo's last attack until you or they meet their end!
