Demon's Souls Adjudicator Boss Battle Guide

The Adjudicator is a slow and funny-looking boss in Demon’s Souls, as it has a bird for a head, and the rest of its body is massive. It shares some body traits with the first tutorial boss that you may have fought or skipped, and you can pretty much use the same techniques in this boss battle as well. You encounter the Adjudicator in the Island’s Edge inside the Shrine of Storms Archstone. It is the first boss of this area. Our Demon’s Souls Adjudicator Boss Battle Guide will help you defeat the Adjudicator easily in the game with some helpful tips and tricks.

Adjudicator Boss Battle Guide – Demon’s Souls

This boss battle will be different depending on your build, and if you are a magic build, you can cheese your way through this boss fight easily. First, let’s see how you can defeat this boss if you are a melee build. The Adjudicator is the big boss, which means it is slow, but it hits hard. You need to make sure that you stay far from the incoming attacks to ensure that they do not connect with you otherwise, you will take a large amount of damage. The boss arena has three levels, with you arriving on the third floor and the boss on the ground floor.

To damage the boss, you will need to hit its head, which is the bird, and if you are a melee player, you must first topple the boss by hitting a metal piece stuck in its body on the lower left side. The boss has a weapon in both of his hands, and he will not stop swinging both of them in a variety of attacks. Make sure that you roll and dodge a lot since you can easily spot incoming attacks due to his slow speed. Attack the metal piece enough, and it will soon come knocking down on its knees. Once it does, rush towards the head and keep hitting it until the boss gets back up, and then you must repeat it.

The boss mostly has smash and swing attacks, so it is not very hard to avoid them, and considering the slow incoming speed, you can figure out when you need to roll fairly easily. Keep repeating it until you defeat the boss. Now, if you are a Magic build, this is a completely different fight because you can just spam attacks from the middle floor without the need to go near the boss. When you drop down a floor, you will find yourself on a level where the boss’s bird head is right in front of you. Lock onto it and unload your magic attacks until the boss is down. There will be some swiping attacks at this level, so make sure to roll and dodge when you see them coming.
