One of the three bosses you defeat in Stellar Blade as part of the Eye of the Hurricane main quest is Belial. Our guide describes two fights against the boss - a hostile droid. We inform you what are the most important attacks of Belial, how to react to them, and how to stop Belial's regeneration during the second fight.

• First duel with the boss
• Second duel with the boss

First duel with the boss

1. Belial is a mutated droid and you must face this boss twice when in Spire 4. Both duels with this opponent are part of the main task Eye of the Hurricane.

1. The first fight will begin shortly after unlocking the Hypertube by restarting the generators. After EVE jumps into the Hypertube, a long descent scene will be triggered. While playing this section, avoid obstacles and stay on a safe route so as not to lose health points and use up healing items prematurely. You will need them to fight the boss.

1. At the end of the descent, Belial will suddenly appear. You have to defend yourself against his attack and complete QTEs requiring you to press Square.

1. After landing in the arena, the actual fight will begin. In this duel, the boss uses 2 blades for main attacks, but he can also smoothly combine them into a single, larger two-handed weapon.
2. Use parries to stop attack sequences. However, be careful, because some of them may be red attacks - they are faster and harder to parry, so guard might be a better idea.

1. The first duel will automatically end after the boss loses about 1/3 of his health bar.
2. EVE will manage to cut off one of the boss's limbs. The injured machine will escape from the area. For a longer period of time, you will return to normal exploration and battles with regular enemies.

Second duel with the boss

1. You need to reach the supply camp at the Raphael Space Center Lobby and take care of a minor task of starting a small elevator.
2. The drone will open a nearby gate and after entering the location in the picture, Belial will reappear. This time it's a fight to the end and the game will finally allow you to defeat the drone.

1. The boss will start using other attacks in addition to the usual and red ones. The combination that has yellow attack > yellow attack > blue attack is particularly problematic.
2. Your response to the yellow attacks should be perfect dodges or, as a last resort, quick retreat out of the boss's range. In case of the blue attack, use Blink.

1. Belial's yellow attack can also occur right after the red attack. This is an aerial attack. You have little time to escape and you should attempt a perfect dodge. An explosion may also occur at the landing site after a short time - in this case you have a bit more time to get away from the boss.
2. An alternative blue attack could be a charge - here, instead of Blink, you can also quickly dodge to the side.
3. In the later part of the duel, the boss will also start using strong purple attacks - be ready to perfectly execute Repulse (Down+Circle), which will help you avoid serious damage.

1. Once the boss's health bar is depleted, Belial will regenerate and regain full health. This is not an action that can be prevented.
2. The game forces you to deprive the boss of his health bar a total of 3 times. We advise to save stronger attacks for the end of the fight, e.g. Tachy mode or attacks associated with burst energy. This will enable you to survive in case of running out of healing items.

1. Depriving Belial of all his health for the third time will automatically trigger the boss defeat sequence. Wait for the moment to quickly press R2 - EVE will fire a strong shot that will finish off the boss and will prevent him from regenerating again.
