Boss moves

Attack	Signal	Evade or Counter
Tilted Jaws	The head turns to one side, then rushes forward and snaps shut.	Sprint sideways (away from the head) and dodge-roll at the last second.
Jaw Slam	Predator lifts head, slams jaw, and then body slams. Watch for a follow-up tailspin.	Dodge diagonally to its side; parry both hits for a quick counter.
Tail Whip	Roars and lifts leg before spinning around.	Back off and circle out. Roll sideways when the tail swings.
Savage Lunge	Backward body shake, then lunges with snap bites and slam.	Dodge each hit and be ready to strike after the sequence.
Grabbing Bite	Jaw buries in snow, then snaps shut in a grab.	Sprint sideways, roll away just before impact, and avoid combo eats.
Standing Bite	Stands tall, roars, then drags jaws down.	Parry just before the bite lands, and then attack mid-gap.

Remember that the Tail whip attack often follows other attacks, so stay alert.

Loadout for the fight

Pack a Black Steel Cutter, Salamander Dagger, or Flamberge and apply Fire Abrasive to inflict burn or extra damage. You can also use Carcass Butcher’s, Dancing One’s, Extreme Mod, Iron Wall, or Patience Amulets to boost damage, timing, or defence.

Grabs can kill you easily — boost vitality so you can survive one. Bring a Perfection Grindstone if your parry timing isn’t smooth. Use Thermites for extra damage at the start, but remember to avoid being close when it's winding up.

How to defeat the Tyrannical Predator in Lies of P Overture

The fight kicks off with a long entrance animation, so don’t waste it. Get some free hits before the beast is ready. From there, stay aggressive but smart. Throw light combos when it pauses and pull back once it starts winding up for the next attack.

Fire is your best friend in this fight, so keep burn damage going with fire-enhanced weapons or abrasives. However, be careful near the boss, as the Tail Whip has a nasty, wide hitbox that punishes players. Finally, never underestimate the Grabbing Bite; if your health is low, focus on dodging and repositioning. Going for greedy damage can cost you the entire run.

After depleting its HP and dodging those terrifying jaws, the boss will drop a Full Moonstone, which is ideal for your new fire weapons.
