Scylla & The Sirens
Overview
Scylla & The Sirens are a rock band of mythological monsters serving as the boss of Oceanus — the second layer of the Underworld route. Scylla leads as vocalist while two Siren bandmates play instruments, each contributing distinct attacks that escalate as the fight progresses.
Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Sonic Wave (Scylla) | Fan-shaped or linear sound-wave blasts from Scylla; dodge sideways |
| Charge (Scylla) | Scylla rushes forward in a straight line |
| Drum Shockwave | Concentric ring shockwaves expanding outward from the drum Siren |
| Tracking Notes | Homing musical-note projectiles fired by the guitar Siren |
| Chorus (Phase 2) | All three perform together, filling the arena with overlapping AoEs — prioritize dodging over attacking |
Strategy
Eliminate the Sirens before Scylla whenever possible — each one removed reduces the total number of concurrent attacks. The drum Siren's shockwaves are easiest to dodge by standing between rings, so focus the guitar Siren first. During the Chorus phase in later HP thresholds, switch fully to survival mode: conserve Magick, stay mobile, and only attack in the brief gaps between AoE patterns. Long-range weapons (Silver Bow, throwing aspects of Sister Blades) are well-suited for navigating the large stage while maintaining damage output.
Rewards
Defeating Scylla & The Sirens drops a Pearl and advances Underworld route progression toward the Fields of Mourning.
