Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow

"The Ancient Miracle never forgot the Five... It bound them by its holy whim, it cursed them, it condemned them. Yes... it has kept them asleep in case it needed them. And now it needs them."

**Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow** is a boss in Blasphemous added in the Stir of Dawn DLC. She is a mirror reflection of Laudes, this Amanecida has a golden skull alike the others, although sports a blue robe along with holding a golden bow with electrified arrows. The **Amanecidas of the Miracle** are both guardians and a set of bosses summoned by Jibrael. Every **Amanecida** bested will provide their weapon to the matching statue in Hall of the Dawning.

To summon her, the Penitent One must speak to Jibrael in the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage, in the room at the left of the Prie Dieu before the Boss room.

They once guarded the Twisted One, although now put to rest in a coffin to lay in wait for what the Miracle has in store for them.

The arena is flat and inclined downwards at the edges and possess climbable walls, crucial in dodging some of her attacks.

## Behavior and Tactics

* **Crystal Shield**: The fight will always begin with a crystal shield active, damaging the shield will eventually break it and allow damage on the boss. Attacks on the shield do not count as "hits" so fervour will not be generated and the Saeta Dolorosa will be ineffective.
* **Crystal Regeneration**: The Amanecida quickly turns into an idle pose and float downwards. She will then begin spawning crystal shards from the ground, once completed she will create a large explosion, regaining the crystal shield in the process. Dealing enough damage will interrupt the regeneration.
* The Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow uses two types of projectile:
	1. The Golden arrows are moving projectiles, they **can be blocked or dodged through**.
	2. The Light bolts are hitscan attacks (instantaneous), they can bounce off of walls and the ground, and their trajectory is indicated by harmless flowing electricity. These cannot be blocked or dodged through.
* **Simple Arrow**: The Amanecida will spin indicating the beginning of the attack and shoot a single arrow at the Penitent One. This attack can be used regardless of her position.
* **Simple Light Bolt**: The Amanecida will appear at one of the lower corners of the arena and charge a Light Bolt shot oriented in a random direction. This attack can be dodged by remaining still in areas not covered by the flowing electricity.

* **Rain of Arrows**: The Amanecida will appear at the top of the arena and shoot stationary arrows and launch them simultaneously. This attack has 3 variations:
	1. **7 Arrows**: The arrows are pointed at the penitent one's position.
	2. **11 Arrows**: The arrows will point towards the middle of the arena and outwards, like a hand fan.
	3. **9 Arrows**: Same as 11 arrows, but a pair of Light bolts will also be shot alongside the arrows, reducing dodging room.
* **Lightning Rods**: The Amanecida will go to one of the lower corners of the arena and charge a Light Bolt shot horizontally. Once shot, she will fire more shots parallel to the first by incrementally teleporting upward. Each shot will land a Golden arrow at the opposite wall, and when all shots are fired, horizontal thunderbolts will strike the arrows in the same rhythm the Light Bolt were shot. The amount of arrows shot vary between 3 and 5, depending on her health. The Bolts can be avoided by simply remaining on the side of the arena she is shooting from. the Lightning can be dodged by climbing to the highest point on the wall, jumping in the air and stalling using the plunge attack just before the highest bolt would hit.

After she loses 4 bars of HP she will gain three new attacks:

* **Flurry of Arrow**: The Amanecida will hover around the arena and shoot sets of four arrows at the Penitent One. This is done five times.
* **Fulgurant Fury**: Two Lightning bolts appear at the extremities of the arena, blocking the climbable walls. They remain until the end of the attack. The Amanecida will shoot bolts downwards, create a lightning strike and causing damaging explosions and making the ground elevate like a wave. She will do this five times. This attack **can be jumped over**.
* **Light Of The Miracle**: The Amanecida will appear at one of the lower corners of the arena and charge for four seconds, this attack can be recognized by pink particles converging on her. Once charged a large heavily damaging laser beam is unleashed, leaving the Amanecida in a state of fatigue, opening a window for an attack. Despite its status as a final powerful attack, it can easily dodged by simply clinging to a wall.

Amber eye is greatly recommended as it decreases the damage taken significantly.

## Trivia

* The Amanecidas boss theme "Baile de Violetas" has four variations, each featuring a lead instrument (clavichord, piano, cello, guitar). Variations are always played in this order: clavichord in the first fight, piano second, cello third, and guitar fourth, regardless of the Amanecida fought.When Amanecida of the Bejeweled Arrow is fought in *Strife and Ruin'*s boss rush mode, the **clavichord** variation plays.
* There are no official names for the attacks displayed on this page. They are made up by the editors.
