1 / 2: Rift ambush

Rift ambush

She vanishes in grey smoke and a crackling white rift opens next to you; she lunges out of it blade first, often from the side or behind. Watch for the rift rather than for her body.

In-game footage

Crescent sweep

Wide white crescents from her long blade, often two or three in a row while she spins. They reach far, so back off or dodge through them rather than stand at mid range.

  • Spinning rush

    She charges at you in a spin, skirt flared and a violet trail behind her. Her single blade strikes can be parried; no red or blue flash showed on any of her moves in launch-day play.

Aberrant Three-faced Puppet FAQ

Should you fight the Aberrant Three-faced Puppet early?

The game suggests waiting. After a first try, back at The Lady's Rift bell, Soul says "Best to avoid it." In launch-day play on Hellwalker, five attempts barely moved its health bar before the player went back to the story. Come back with your equipment at level 15 or higher: a fast weapon such as the Fiend Saws punishes the openings after its big swings.

What quest starts at the Three-faced Puppet?

Triple Threat. Its banner appears after a first attempt at the fight, with the objective "Learn more about the Three-Faced Puppet".

Who is Aberrant Three-faced Puppet?

Weeping Creek Valley map

After a first attempt the game adds the side quest Triple Threat, "Learn more about the Three-Faced Puppet", and Soul says "Best to avoid it." It is a fight to come back to later.
