Strategies

Oliver Collins is a great first boss to get acclimated with the way boss fights will work in Code Vein. He’s just tough enough to keep you on your toes, but still leaves you plenty of room for you to deal damage and dodge. When the fight starts, watch his movements and pay attention to the rhythm of his attacks.

You’ll want to strike *after* he finishes his attack animation. You can play it safe by getting a couple attacks in and then rolling away, waiting for him to attack, rinse and repeat.

After about halfway through, he’ll transform into a huge beast. For the most part, the difficulty doesn’t increase much here, but you will want to avoid his flaming AOE attack. When you see his hand light up red, back up because it means he’s about to launch his AOE attack.

If you want to play it super safe, you can use long ranged-attacks while your companion pummels on the boss.
