How to unlock the The Ruins achievement in Salt and Sanctuary - Definitive Guide

MISSABLE

The Coveted is located at The Ruined Temple. The boss fight consists in you fighting two ghosts which may wield an axe. The curious thing about this boss is that the boss is the axe itself, not the ghosts. Thus, you have to damage it to kill him, as the ghosts are invulnerable to damage.

You do not have to fight this boss to get to the final area, thus making this a missable trophy.

The boss’ attacks are based on physical and holy damage. He is weak against arcane; he is strong against slash. Frequently, one of the ghosts will wield the axe, while the other will shoot projectiles at you. They may throw it at one point, though they will retrieve it right after it. Both upon falling and retrieving the axe, a wave of damage around it will be spread.

When they are not wielding the axe, take the opportunity to land some hits on it.

Besides throwing and retrieving the axe, the boss will perform:

  • Spin Attack – The boss will spin the axe, charging forward. Try to keep away from it, or roll through.
  • Slash Attack – The phantom will slash the axe downwards in front of him.
  • Arcane Projectiles – The phantom may throw arcane projectiles in your direction, up to three in a row. The third shot will always contain an additional projectile for extra damage.

Upon victory, you will receive: The Coveted’s Ashes.

Here the boss is the hammer itself, you need to strike at it, not at the ghosts. To simplify the battle, you can lure one ghost to the edge of the arena, and the second will remain off the screen and will not attack you

Ghosts attack with lightning very painfully; to reduce the damage, it is better to put rings on the lightning resist.

An interesting bug happened. If one of the ghosts is in the extreme left position, and the second is in the extreme right position, then they will not attack at all. And the fight turns into beating a baby, because... the hammer doesn't do anything at all.

The ax pickles well. I advise you to lubricate your weapon with poison.
