Girgashiy in Decisive Battle

I know that he can swing the staff (kind of windmill) and do something like poisoning (probably it's that Soul Absorption mentioned on the page) but I noticed also something like stomp, something similar to Crumena's Meteor (but can reach me everywhere), something that traps in a rock (similar to ice spear) and something that creates my doppelganger which is running toward Girgashiy and makes me die instantly despite full HP/MP/Stamina. Is there any way to prevent this or survive?

If you attack the soul it stops moving for a bit which gives you more time to decrease Girgashiy's meter to stop the attack. I positioned myself so that I'm hitting Girgashiy and the soul with splash damage. Worked every time.

• Staff Swing: Swings its staff in a 150 degree arc.
• Holy Contagion: Drops a poison on you.
• Holy Confinement: Puts you in a crystal that damages you. I think you can summon a pet and command it to attack the crystal?
• Fanaticism: Girgashiy grabs you and smashes you for heavy damage. Girgashiy lets you go when its hit enough.
• Soul Absorption: Girgashiy stabs itself and creates a shadow out of you, and if it reaches Girgashiy you die instantly. Damaging Girgashiy will stop the attack and you can stun the shadow.
• Mineral Hail: Girgashiy jumps up and rains unavoidable crystals on you. Shield of Trust can nullify its damage.

I've only gotten to the second Girgashiy so I don't have any firsthand experience on the other four skills.

Holy Contagion is deadly if you have low HP TT-TT

Holy Confinement seems to only free you in place and Damaging you little by little but it seems that Girgashiy doesnt attack you while in there....not being able to use potions while trapped while Girgashiy is nearby waiting to attack as soon as you escape is bad feelings.

I havent gotten to Mineral Hail or Soul Absorption but I will wait till tomorrow to try it out once I get more free nao stones.

I kind of figured it out after looong time... but... I used 30 nao stones and still failed the mission. Maybe it's bad luck. I realised that when stopping the shadow only npc and pets could damage the Girgashiy and the shadow (I'm way too glitchy and laggy to let the shadow be near Girgashiy). The problem was when my npc stopped attacking and just waited for Girgashiy to die of old age :). The other problem was that when i died near Girgashiy just right after my revival he was using that Soul Absorption again and I didn't have a chance to escape or start fighting because the shadow was appearing too close to Girgashiy. Finaly every time I die he regains hp (about 5-6%). Anyway, thank you all for respond and advice.

Now I'm stuck on this part as well. Apparently, Girgashiy can attack my dead ragdoll body and that includes Soul Absorption, so he's indefinitely healing himself over my dead body and the NPCs are too weak to stop him. Shield of Trust literally does nothing as at Rank N it shields 0% damage from Mineral Hail.

... I finally beat it after keeping distance away with Tumble. e-e

On a related note:

“	...cast Soul Absorption on you which reduces your HP by 5% of your Maximum HP every second.	„
—Call of the Light

This is wrong. That's Holy Contagion, not Soul Absorption. The debuff applied even says "Contagion".

Isn't Shield of Trust Supposed to Dodge Girgashiy's Attack when used around the time it Attacks?

I know that after it helps you dodge the attack, you can still be attacked afterwards but other than that, it only blocks the first few seconds its cast...From my Understanding of the vids I've seen on youtube.

No. Shield of Trust just nullifies the damage of Mineral Hail. However, at Rank Novice that damage reduction is 0% which effectively does nothing.

I can Confirm this too as I just Exited from the Shadow Mission.

I barely got to 20% before it started using soul absorption and I exited as im not planning to scream again. My pets keep dying before I can use them to resurrect myself, but I found out(not sure if its a glitch)that running with a horse seemed to not let either the mining hail or the poison affect me....although, once I got close, it started affecting me but from a distance, it seems most attacks are dodgeable while riding a pet but I cant really confirm if its possible for others or me just being a bit laggy cause it.
