The boss itself is pretty straight forward but has multiple skills that hit very hard and all of them cleave at least 180 degrees in front of her. One attack in particular is essentially an instant death if you don’t have over 1000 health and good P.DEF and Thrust Def. When fighting it you’ll want to do a hit and run style by baiting attacks and then countering. Do not under any circumstance let it freely do long range abilities and do not try and kill it from behind.

Every attack that the nurse does should be dodged by going backwards the majority of the time. If you attempt to go to the side you will be hit and going behind her will usually result in a hit, unless you time it absolutely perfectly. Backwards equals safety.

The main abilities you want to look for and counter are when it crosses its arms to do a long windup cleave, a triple wide arcing cleave, and a rapid six armed assault it does while walking forward. During the rapid slashing attack the nurse will attack in a 270 degree radius, leaving only directly behind it open. It also walks quite fast so using a long ranged or quick attack is your best bet for following up on attacks.

If it lifts all of its arms above its head you need to get backwards very far and fast, or dash behind it. That is the attack that can one shot, easily. Occasionally it will do a 180 spinning attack but it is rare and only if you are consistently behind or on the side of it, which you shouldn’t be.

The last thing you absolutely need to look out for is when it stops and starts to channel a purple cast. Do not under any circumstance let the nurse do this, because it will create a huge purple mist effect in the room. During the mist it will also have a mirror image clone that randomly attacks, all the while teleporting around non-stop. Just rush to the boss and unload on it whenever you see this cast because it is free damage and it will quickly be interrupted.

If for some reason you are kiting the boss around or staying too far away it will also lunge. It is easy to spot due to it lowering all of its blades while leaning forward and hovering. Just dodge straight forward when it lifts off the ground and spin around to get off free hits.
