Welcome to our boss guide for Death’s Door! In this walkthrough, we’ll help you defeat the Witch of the Urns, also known as Grandma—one of the game’s three major bosses. Without diving into story spoilers, we’ll break down each phase of the fight to make your victory more manageable.
Phase 1: Teleportation and Urn Throws
The fight opens with Grandma teleporting around the arena and tossing out various urns:
- Purple Urns: These explode on impact. Dodge or avoid them entirely.
- Green-Blue Urns: When broken, these release souls that can be knocked back at Grandma to deal damage—this is key to speeding up the fight.
- Occasionally, she will glide across the room, clearing all urns and transitioning into the next phase.
Phase 2: Stomping and Rotating Helix Attack
In this phase, Grandma retreats into her urn and begins stomping:
- Stay mobile to avoid being trampled.
- After stomping, she unleashes a helix-style soul projectile pattern. This looks complex but is predictable—maintain distance and keep dodging.
- Continue reflecting souls back at her for damage whenever possible.
Phase Cycle and Openings
Grandma will cycle between her urn-throwing phase and her stomp + helix pattern:
- Use these transition windows to land easy melee hits.
- Ranged abilities like the bow or Flame spell are effective and allow you to play it safe.
- The fight is more about consistency and patience than raw speed.
Late-Fight Attacks and Chaos Build-Up
As the battle progresses, she begins using more aggressive attacks:
- She “blows her top,” launching multiple urns at once to clutter the field.
- She starts firing multiple soul projectiles in quick succession—dodging becomes more challenging at this point.
- Maintain distance and rely on ranged attacks to avoid taking unnecessary hits.
Winning the Fight: Final Tips
- Watch for visual cracks forming on Grandma’s urn body—this signals the fight is nearly over.
- There’s no health bar, so focus on rhythm and staying alive.
- When the rapid-fire soul attacks begin, it means the end is near—stay calm, keep your distance, and finish strong.
Conclusion
That’s everything you need to conquer the Witch of the Urns. With patience, positioning, and good use of soul reflection, you’ll defeat Grandma in no time.
