How to beat Aberrant Three-faced Puppet
Our strategy, built from the fight's numbers, followed by the game's own codex entry.
- Bring Fire: it deals 30% more damage to Aberrant Three-faced Puppet.
- Shock builds up 16% faster on Aberrant Three-faced Puppet.
- Aberrant Three-faced Puppet's Sha-Chi bar is 2,400: perfect parries and Guard Break attacks drain it, and an empty bar opens the boss to a finisher.
Bring Fire. The puppet takes 30% more Fire damage and builds Burn 30% faster, with Lightning a decent second choice at +16% damage and 16% faster Shock. Poison, Bleed and Blood Burst do nothing, as it is immune to each, and Frost and Water are resisted by 30%.
Parries drain 40% less of its Sha-Chi than normal, so rely on Standard Combos and elemental damage rather than Parry pressure. Within Weeping Creek Valley's 1 to 4 level band, its 9,000 base HP comes to roughly 23,200 at level 4, before difficulty.
The codex says only Steel Mask fights here, drawing on the Discordance to vanish and shift with swift, savage sword strikes, and forcing Soul out when pressed. It also hints that learning this puppet's weaknesses may lead to her complete defeat in a future encounter. The fight awards 12,000 Remnant Dust.

Aberrant Three-faced Puppet lore
The codex entry the game unlocks for Aberrant Three-faced Puppet.
In-game codexBeyond the fissure in the Lady's statue lies the courtyard of a long-abandoned manor. Tattered sedan chairs, opera costumes, and performing puppets crowd its corners. Half a puppet hangs above the central doorway.
An Aberrant Three-faced Puppet guards this place. Its masks seem to house three distinct minds. Steel Mask is forceful and decisive. Frost Mask is timid and hesitant, startled by every shadow. Chaos Mask still sleeps.
When Soul intrudes, Steel Mask invokes the Herald's promise and attacks. Her fierce swordplay draws upon the Discordance to vanish and shift in an instant, each strike swift and savage. When pressed, she unleashes a powerful assault and forces Soul out.
The strength of the other two faces remains unknown. Learn this puppet's weaknesses, and a future encounter may end in her complete defeat.
