Plague Doctor | Vigil The Longest Night Wiki

Strategy Writeup

Depending on your action in the game, it will determine if you'll fight the Plague Doctor in just one phase or two. If you give him the Cubic Crystals at the Asylum in Maye Town, he'll use it to enter the Giant Wood and he'll harness the power of the Scholar of the Sacred Wood. When this happens, you'll have to fight him twice and he's quite deadly and difficult to deal with in phase 2. However, you can avoid this if you don't give the Doctor the crystals and you head over to the Giant Wood and destroy the Scholar of the Sacred Wood yourself, this way, the Doctor won't be able to harness its power and you just have to defeat him once.

Now, before you fight him, you want to make sure you are stocked up with Healing Potions and bottles of Vinegar. You'll need this since the majority of the Plague Doctor's attacks are infused with the Poison element. Apart from that, you also should get the Dephil's Set by fighting Dephil a couple of times until she drops each piece. The set contains Dephil's Coat, Dephil's Boots, and Dephil's Gloves. Maximize it's level to +7 if you have enough resources to boost the defensive properties and the RES against poison. Just remember to drink a bottle of Vinegar to cure the poison effect and to further increase the resistance.

At this point in the game, you should have gotten the following items, the Mechanical Bow found in the Shadow Disaster realm, Uptancos' Horn that is dropped by Uptancos after defeating it, and the Frost Spear that is dropped by Princess Downaly, Leader of Betrayers. These three items can help you win the battle easily. Frost Spear can block his path once the icicle turns into a sculpture of Princess Downaly, Uptancos' Horn has a great range of inflicting lightning damage, and the Mechanical Bow is just a broken weapon that you can keep spamming to shoot out multiple arrows.

Attacks & Counters

• Poison Daggers: The Doctor throws four daggers in front of him or he jumps in the air and throws it below him. The best way to avoid this is to double jump and air dash and if it's coming from above, dodge roll or dash away.
• Poison Pillars: The Doctor summons three pillars of poison that will emerge from the ground. You'll easily identify it with the green indicator that appears on the ground. This will give you time to dodge away from it or stay in between the gaps if you're stuck before it appears.
• 2-Hit Attack: If the Doctor is near you, he takes out his knife and slashes twice. Just jump over him or dodge roll towards him to avoid getting hit. If you get behind him, you can land a few attacks with your weapon.

Phase 2: This phase only occurs if you give the Doctor the Cubic Crystals at the Asylum in Maye Town. All of his attacks are based on the attacks of the Scholar of the Sacred Wood.

• Emerging Tentacles: The Doctor plunges its tentacles on the ground and springs out of from below. This attack is quite fast but you'll see a green-colored indicator on the ground that will help you identify where the tentacles will pop out. You can use the gap between the tentacles to avoid getting hit. While you're in between the gap, keep shooting your Bow so that you can keep inflicting damage until it retracts its tentacles.
