Day Stalker

Day Stalker is the deity of day, fought together with its counterpart, the Night Prowler. Both are summoned at once by throwing a Chaos Orb into the sky. They are the final bosses of the Soulslike Champions chapter, which is linked from Act II.

Location#

The Day Stalker doesn’t spawn naturally. Throwing a Chaos Orb into the sky summons the Day Stalker and the Night Prowler together.

The duo fight#

While both bosses live, one of them fights from the air and the other on the ground, and they switch every 20 s. When the Night Prowler dies (or is missing), the Day Stalker clears its effects, heals back to full and starts its second phase.

Empowered#

The Day Stalker is empowered in daytime and in its second phase. While empowered and on the ground, it takes only 80% damage from projectiles (60% in phase 2).

Strategy#

  • One of the pair is always empowered. Daytime empowers the Day Stalker and night empowers the Night Prowler, so the one that isn’t empowered is the easier target.
  • Kill them close together. Whichever boss dies first, the survivor refills its health for a second phase.
  • Don’t block. Its attacks disable shields.
  • Fire does nothing. It is immune to fire.
