Like Tyrannical Predator, thereisn’t much going on for the Two-Faced Overseerin his attacks - especially in his Green Form.Most of his attacks are comfortably parryable.
However, some of his delays and theamount of potential visual effectsfrom Alidoro’s attacks can makeseeing cues for a parry a little tricky.
The most important takeawaysfrom his attacks are as follows:
In fact, if there are any attacks you need to focus on, you shouldlook at the chart above to study Red Formcarefully. Most deaths from Red Form will come fromSavage Blows.
The building blocks ofhow to parry Savage Blowscome frompracticing with simpler Green Form combos.Therefore,parrying as much as possible in Green Formis highly recommended to prepare for Red Form.

Recommended Weapons
Salamander Dagger, Maniac’s Pinwheel, Black Steel Cutter,
Before you do anything else in this fight, the first thing you’ll want to do isuse the Daylight-Wreathed HornAlidoro gave you. It is an equipable item, soplace it in your inventory before entering the fight.
Once the fight begins,blow the horn, and Alidoro will appear.
Alidoro cannot dieduring this fight, but he can be downed. If, at any time, the great hound is defeated,you can revive him by interacting with himduring the fight. There is a slight wait time for the animation, however, sochoose your moment carefully.
The Overseer’s Two Forms
The fight begins with the Overseer inGreen Form. This form of the Overseer ismilder with fewer and slower attacksin his combos. you may identify this by thegreen helmet.
Once Overseer’shealth has been reduced by approximately 25 percent,he will transform intoRed Form. This will make him far moredangerous and aggressive.
Knocking Overseer down for aCritical Hitwillstagger the bossout of Red Formand back into Green Form. Therefore,two things are true:
Overseer going into Red Form can happen more than once in a single fight. Anytime his health is reduced by 25 percent, he will be at risk of transforming. Therefore, it is likely he will transform a minimum of twice.
With your strategy for Green and Red Form understood,knowing how to attack with a partnerin combat will be your last and most vital ticket to success.
Therefore, to make the most of having aid against the Overseer,practice these good habits:
Overseer is cripplinglyweak to Fire damage.Using Fire Canisters and Thermites are very useful here. However,we do not recommend Flambergeas the dark setting and large fire effects can obscure crucial tells for attacks.
Once the Overseer is finally defeated, you’ll be given aFull Moonstone of the Covenantand theBloody Cipher Machine.
Speak with Alidoro, and he willreturn to Hotel Krat. While he won’t be able to exchange rare Ergo for unique weapons, he will act much like Venigni andoffer to unlock Cipher Machinesfor unique rewards.
