The Incantation 'Stone of Gurranq' just destroys Watchdogs. For casters, it makes them so easy to kill. Throw a few rocks at them and they're toast. Stone of Gurranq is only 13 Faith and 15 FP so it's not a huge commitment. It's like bonking but with rocks :-)

Erdtree Burial Watchdog (Cliffbottom Catacombs Boss)
By Brendan Graeber, Hannah Hoolihan, Brian Barnett, +28 more
The Erdtree Burial Watchdog is one of the miniboss Foes you can fight in one of the optional Liurnia Dungeons in Elden Ring.
Much like the Watchdogs from Stormfoot Catacombs and the Impaler's Catacombs, this Watchdog sticks to the usual attack patterns. The ability to walk up on its hind legs to close the distance very quickly remains, as well as its tendency to perform a wind-up vertical slam with its weapon, creating a shockwave. This time, the weapon is a staff.
The Watchdog can also breathe fire like its brethren, and has a similar radius to the Impaler Watchdog. The main difference between this Watchdog to any other is the magical attacks. Using its staff, when the Watchdog floats into the air and performs the ground slam that emits a shockwave (which all other Watchdogs also do), the shockwave is magically embued and deals more damage, with a slightly wider radius.
The Watchdog also uses its staff to summon spectral arrows that form in a horizontal sphere surrounding it, which then launch towards the player. These can be deadly but are relatively easy to avoid if you continuously dodge roll to the side as they follow you. They are slow enough to run away from if you need to gain some space first. Another strategy is to use the pillars in the room to block the projectiles.
Due to the staff, this Watchdog is also unlikely to perform the 360 spin with its weapon, so sticking to the back of the Watchdog is a relatively safe zone, though locking on to the boss at this point can cause you to be unable to escape the shockwave attack in time.
Large stone staff embedded with glintstone. Wielded by Erdtree Burial Watchdogs who protect catacombs. The Watchdogs, battered and broken over their lengthy tenure, rule the catacombs and are even said to command the imps. Unique Skill: Sorcery of the Crozier.
Two tries to kill the first one. Such pains these cats...

Feb 27, 2022 · Stormfoot Catacombs is one of Elden Ring's harder early-game dungeons. Found a short distance from the Church of Elleh, this dungeon features some deadly stone imp enemies, fire traps, and a boss with some of the strangest animations in the game.
