Code Vein features many interesting and unique bosses, all of which must be beaten in order to progress the story. All of these are lost, powerful but malicious, and feature a set of moves that are unique to them. With large health bars, memorable designs, and even fascinating lore surrounding them, these bosses are one of the many highlights of Code Vein.
Bosses in Code Vein do not respawn after being beaten, however, you are likely to encounter them again when exploring dungeons, so be prepared for the possibility of facing them again and again.
How to Beat Insatiable Despot
- Reward: Tyrant’s Labry
- Location: N/A
A demonic creature wielding weapons in both hands, he is reminiscent of tribal leaders but turned into something far viler; driven by a lust for destruction, this despot must be brought down. Not an optional boss fight.
The first phase of this battle is straightforward: he will reach into the ground and call forth a geyser of blood which will erupt from where you’re standing – dodge out of the way.
The best strategy is to not attack and first and simply bait him into coming to you and attacking; he will bring his large weapon down when near you.
Dodge out of the way and get to his side, doing damage while he’s distracted. You may also run to his backside but he is likely to quickly turn around and swing at you, being very difficult to dodge I advise not doing so.
He is prone to leap back and forth, so be ready to move at a moment’s notice. Eventually, he’ll falter and fall to his knees; attack him as much as possible.
Once half his health has been depleted, we move onto phase 2 where you must forego my previous advice and stick to his backside.
He will do very damaging spinning attacks and will often resort to an overhead AoE attack. Dodge away from him when you see him getting ready to unleash it. Rinse and repeat these techniques until he is brought down.
You receive the Tyrant’s Labrys for defeating the Insatiable Despot.
