It's recommended you wait to do this trophy until you're working on Endings C or D, or wait until after you've completed Ending E since you'll get a super OP weapon from that run.
Shadowlord is, of course, the final boss of the game (unless you're on Endings C and D) and will appear immedaitely after you defeat Grimoire Noir for Book Burner
. Just as you have weapon and magic attacks, Shadowlord will just as well. He'll be moving around quite a bit during this fight, but if you can wait until he's on the ground, you can do some pretty hefty damage with your weapon. He'll still try to fire some magic attacks at you, so be sure to evade so you rush to the other side of him to avoid those. Repeating this evading process will allow you to really dig into his HP. If he moves around again, use your magic attacks to shoot him until he's back down again.
Eventually, he'll fly up into the air and stay there. You'll only be able to really use your magic attacks here, so a charged Dark Lance will come in quite handy. Dodge his magic attacks (they'll be red columns that will also go out directly in front of him). It might take a bit to get him down on this section, but the last part is really quick so it's ok. When you get him down to almost fully depleted HP, he'll rudely take away your ability to use magic, leaving you with just your weapon attacks. You'll start on opposite sides of the room, but he won't move from here. Run/roll quickly up to him while dodging his orb attacks and hit him. You'll go flying back to the other side of the room, so repeat this again to hit him a second time. You'll go flying back once more, so run back up to him and hit him a third and final time to defeat him.
There are a few cutscenes that you'll need to skip during this fight, so make sure you're doing that so you don't run down the clock. When you've defeated him (and if it was in the required time-limit), trophy will unlock.
