Soul Tyrant

Returning to the Soul Master's corpse and attacking it with the Dream Nail brings the player to an arena where they will fight the Soul Tyrant.

Upon defeat, he awards 300 Essence.

Phase 1
Soul Tyrant possesses the same attacks as Soul Master, though they are performed faster and the Clock Attack is now 6 orbs in two lines of three, and the shockwave from the Slams is much higher.

Move a lot, use the second half of the Clock Attack to heal (you will be safe standing in the middle). If you have leftover soul/full health, Howling Wraiths can be very effective. Generally repeat the tactics used against the Soul Master, but with better Charms. The player should have the Monarch Wings before this battle, which will allow them to easily dodge his ground pound even when he does his Fake Out Slam.

The most difficult part of the fight is the frequency with which Soul Tyrant teleports, which makes dealing damage very difficult. Even with Fragile Strength, the battle will likely be very long so endurance and focusing on dodging is important. Because of the constant teleportation, quick slash is of little use.

Phase 2
Same as Soul Master's Phase 2 but much faster.

Be sure to heal up before jumping down for this phase. Even with Quick Focus, finding time to heal is nearly impossible, so don't try to heal at all during the fight unless Shape of Unn is equipped. As he will not have much health left in this phase, try to save up SOUL for high-damage Spells like Howling Wraiths/Abyss Shriek and Desolate Dive/Descending Dark.

Trivia

 * After the Soul Tyrant is beaten, the Soul Master's ghost reveals (getting inspiration from prophetic dreams) he was using the soul that animates the bodies of the people in an attempt to get rid of the infection. The Pale King rejected this idea, and the experiment itself failed, as the Soul Master and the other researchers became addicted to the power of Soul.
