Mechanical Monstrosity

Mechanical Monstrosity
One of the bosses in Lords of Shadow, it's a creation of Dr. Frankenstein. It's faced in the Eletrical Laboratory, when finishing the last part of the level's puzzle. It's latter faced again in the Clock Tower, where the fight is much simpler.

Strategy
The Monstrosity is pretty slow and predictable, anyone who made this far into the game shouldn't have much problem with him. He attacks with his claws (unblockabe) and with lightning bolts. Both attacks are very damaging but easy to avoid. A simple flurry of direct attacks and dodging to the sides when he's about to attack and the beast will go down easily.

After taking out a chunk of his health, the Mechanical Monstrosity will start healing itself in a large lightning machine. Hit the button on the ground with the Black Knight's Gauntled and the lightning will change color, damaging the boss. Do this a few more times and he will "die".

He returns latter in the Clock Tower. Don't worry here, there's a place to refil your magic, so if your health is low, just use Light Magic. Here he will use a magnetic field to create a barrier of metal objects that he can toss. Simply repeat the same strategy as in the first fight, except here he dosn't recover's health. His attacks are more powerful and he can be hard to avoid when tossing all objects at once, but beyond that, he ain't much of a problem. When his health is almost over, just grab him for the timed event and the the fight is over.

Trivia

 * The Mechanical Monstrosity seens like Lords of Shadow version of the Creature, Frankenstein's abomination. Both use lightning to fight, and both were created by Dr. Franskeinstein. Besides, the Monstrosity has a fleshy, baby-like core, showing it is a organical creature too.
