Asterius and Theseus Fight Strategy
This is one of the most difficult boss fights that you can encounter due to it being a 2-1 situation. Asterius will be the melee character of the duo while Theseus will stay back the majority of the time to throw his spear at you. The best way to approach this is to take out the muscle first which is Asterius. You'll have to have an extra eye on Theseus since majority of the time, he'll be throwing his spear at you. When fighting Asterius, the walls and pillars are your best friends here. When he does a charge, he'll usually pause for a moment, giving you ample time to position yourself. Position yourself behind a wall or pillar then dodge when Asterius charges. When he hits one of these, this will stun him and will give you ample time to damage him. At times that you're stunned and near Theseus, you can also give him some damage since all he does is spin toward you when you get near. Just keep repeating this process until One of them falls.
Do take note that if Asterius reaches low health and crashes on a wall or pillar, a wave that can damage you emerges from his back. Theseus on the other hand in low health may summon an Olympian God to aid him. He will only summon Gods that have not given you any Boons. Do take note that Theseus never summons Hermes.
