Holy Beast Jeanne d'Arc
BLACK SOULS · Endgame · Optional
The second-rarest boss kill in BLACK SOULS. The saint transformed into a holy beast is one of the game's ultimate challenges, woven into Jeanne's character route.
Where and when
Holy Beast Jeanne d'Arc is the hostile Karma branch of Jeanne's companion route. Revive Jeanne first, then deliberately make her leave at Karma 10 or higher to create the rooftop fight.
Location
Lost Empire rooftop after Jeanne leaves Holy Forest.
Prerequisites
- Recover Jeanne's Ashes east of Fort Ivern.
- Obtain Kraken's Tentacle and use Keto in Skeleton Maze 1F to revive Jeanne.
- Raise Karma to 10 or higher, speak to recruited Jeanne, then follow her to the rooftop.
Attack cues and responses
Loadout
- Bring the completed endgame weapon and strong physical/holy mitigation available to the build.
- Create a branch save before the Karma-10 conversation so Jeanne End remains recoverable.
Rewards
- Holy Beast Jeanne d'Arc achievement
- Jeanne's hostile-route tale / completion reward
Route risks
- Speaking to Jeanne at Karma 10 or higher makes her leave and closes Jeanne End for that cycle.
- This fight is a branch outcome, not a prerequisite for the normal companion ending.

Context and planning notes
Only 12.1% of players have won this fight — among tracked bosses, only Saint Catherine (11.4%) is rarer. Treat it as a final exam.
Jeanne's ending does not strictly require brute force; her questline branches. Fight her when your build is finished, not before.
Pair this page with the endings guide: her route decisions interact with which conclusion of the game you can reach in the same cycle.
