    You don't need either fog or bat to get Ares ring. All that you need is just double jump. Also if you don't know game have things like str/att potions that can make this fight even more trivial.
    Losstarot 9 May 2021 17:45
    Yes? And how can I get it in the catacombs? With just one double jump? With banks, a class idea, by the way, that's just the point of them, if you don't have time to kill both bosses in the time allotted to zero.
    Shmelyoff 9 May 2021 18:05
    You can jump over gap in waterfall room using only double jump. And your statement is not true. As you can see Arek didn't use potions at all and still got the achievement.
    Losstarot 9 May 2021 18:07
    Oh, sorry, I didn't think that you can jump from the waterfall ... Thanks for the advice, I think now everything will go as it should)
    ArtLexxGames 5 Jul 2021 14:59
    Losstarot, you just need the double jump. go to the waterfall and cross it with double jump. after you press the switch at the end, the skull with barrel will appear on the bridge to the catacomb. attract her to the bridge and she'll clear the path.

    ArtLexxGames, Thanks, but right now I'm stuck somewhere else))) https://retroachievements.org/achievement/82660

    2 Ring of Vardas + Strenght Potion and its very easy. Skip the Cutscene with Richter immediately and start to attack the Werewolf cuz they both frozen for Seconds. I learned this from the Speedrunner Dr4gonblitz. Here is my Video: https://youtu.be/hoFKWNycAg8

    Here is my clip on how to do it:
    1 Wolf - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxkNaM_8urNcspsVkyIn5LLPILFjSJVOsM
    2 Minotaur - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxqE0dhYnNdBPwGOp6xybaz9Ub_EdNMNf7

    Wolf pattern is decent to learn, but the hurtbox in the Minotaur axe really turns this thing a little bit messy...

    Ring of ares , Flying kicks and devil familiar helps a lot
    practice this fight without hardcore mode, when you're feeling safe try hardcore mode

    2 Ring of Varda worked very well
    zac300 31 Mar 2024 22:18
    sรณ usar 2 ring of varda, uma poรงรฃo de strength, uma poรงรฃo de attack, lvl 20, trรชs hit abaixado bem na frente do minotauro e depois tentar acertar mais 3 no lobisomen e pronto.

    (o status inicial do alucard nesse meu save foi o de derrotar o dracula em menos de 1 minuto, com 0 coraรงรตes ao final da luta e com a holy water equipada)
    nekomancereli 18 Apr 2024 18:05
    So as a newbie all the above methods seemed very complicated as getting the rings everyone was saying is something you get way later so heres my vod on how to do it if its your first playthru! I will add i used str potions to get big hits then after getting cheevo i reloaded and killed normal style so i can keep potions for later bosses with tyfring.

    before battle use shield rod + knight shiel for more attack
    maiconrv8 6 May 2024 00:18
    eh bem facil esse achievemnt eh so seguir o video do Jazmataz mais ali em cima, consegui de primeira.
    Mutter 5 Jun 2024 01:02
    Ring of ares + str potion + Shield rod e Knight shield
    Mata primeiro o Werewolf (uns 4 ou 5 hits) e depois ataca o Minotaur quando ele fizer o ataque que joga o machado pra cima e pula (da pra acertar ele umas 2 ou 3 vezes por pulo).

    I seeing people say to ring of varda? Anyway to farm this quicker or did everyone really go through the same tedium of killing that one Paranthropus without anything else. I am on luck mode but chances don't seem to really change.

    to make the ring of varda appear, you should have a save on the memory card with the game already beaten (something like that)
