Saros: How to Defeat Prophet (First Boss Guide)

Prophet is the first boss in SOS, requiring thorough exploration of the initial area to gather resources and a suitable weapon before engaging. The fight has three phases, each building on mechanics introduced in phase one. In phase one, focus on destroying yellow orbs on the boss's sides to expose its weak point—a glowing chest. Dodge blue floating projectiles, jump over yellow corrupted projectiles on the floor, and jump over yellow beams from limb stomps. Stay central to avoid slowing red grass. Once the chest is exposed, fire at it. When the chest closes, destroy orbs again. Use your shield for blue homing projectiles and dash or jump to avoid three waves of yellow projectiles. Phase two intensifies with glowing masses that shoot yellow bullets upon landing, which should be destroyed immediately. Corrupted projectiles ripple outwards, and there are four waves instead of three. Stomp attacks create more beams; jump over the first two, but dash through the third. Continue using your shield for blue projectiles and unleash your power weapon when possible. The final phase occurs in a smaller, vine-walled arena. Maximize reaction time by backing up and jumping to conserve dashes. Use your shield for blue and potentially yellow projectiles, even if it builds corruption, to avoid heavy damage. Keep shooting and use your power weapon whenever available to defeat the Prophet.
