Youll want to make your way up to dominula through altus plateau, where those dancing women are celebrating their endless festival. The godskin apostle is waiting at the top but first, lets talk about those celebrants with their bone weapons. They have this specific attack pattern where they spin and dance towards you - dodge right when you see them raise their sickles and get ready to counter. Some quick positioning advice: stay close to the grain silos since the dancers tend to group up near the center of the village, making them easier to separate and deal with.

The real challenge is the apostle fight at the windmill peak. Watch for his black flame tell when he starts glowing before his god-slaying attacks, and time your rolls just as the flame intensifies. His peeler combo is pretty brutal but theres a good damage window right after his spinning attack when he plants the weapon. At around 50% health, he adds those stretchy body attacks to his moveset which you can avoid by staying at mid-range and rolling through the black flame projectiles. The flower wreaths and bonfires around the arena actually make good position markers - try to keep the closest bonfire between you and him during his flame attacks for better spacing.

Definitely an interesting fight that shows how these seemingly festive villagers are actually tied to some really dark rituals. Watch out for the ghost messages near the buildings, they give some nice hints about whats really going on with all that dancing and those bloodstained clothes theyre wearing.
