Scylla and her bandmates, Roxy (the drummer) and Jetty (the guitarist) share a single health bar but each possesses unique abilities and attack patterns. To triumph, you must adapt to the ever-changing battlefield and prioritize targets effectively.

Here is the breakdown of Scylla’s move set:

Bubble WavesJetty Bubble WavesStrums guitar, sending stunning bubbles towards the player

In the first phase, you should target Roxy first since she won’t be moving anywhere but sitting behind her drum, making her vulnerable. Then, focus on Jetty, as her surprise dashes can be very damaging. Scylla’s attacks are dangerous but easier to dodge because she moves slower.

As the sirens’ health depletes, they will enter a second phase, with one member becoming the “Featured Artist” with enhanced abilities. Adapt to this change by concentrating fire on the empowered siren while still managing the others’ attacks.

The final phase sees Scylla summoning lasers that rotate around her as a last resort. Use any remaining burst damage to quickly finish her off.

While various builds can prove effective, certain weapon and boon combinations excel against Scylla and The Sirens:

  • Poseidon’s Boons – Their potent knock-back effects and area-of-effect damage can help manage the sirens’ positioning and deal with multiple threats at the same time.
  • Hephaestus’ Boons – When all three sirens are clustered together, you can use this to inflict massive damage to them.
  • Scorch or Blitz – Cast-focused builds can quickly eliminate Roxy and pressure Scylla from a safe distance.
  • Witch’s Staff – Charged attacks, allowing you to damage multiple sirens at once.

Trying out different combinations and adjusting to the constantly changing boons from the gods is crucial to developing a winning strategy against Scylla and her sidekicks.

Winning the battle with Scylla and The Sirens will grant you Pearls. These rare materials are crucial when you want to craft Nocturnal Arms and Incantations at the River of Night in the Crossroads.

Since Scylla and The Sirens are the only providers of Pearls, defeating them repeatedly is vital for players aiming to maximize Melinoe’s abilities and explore the depths of the Underworld.
