How to Beat the Church Boss (Mother Eliza) in CRONOS: The New Dawn

by | Oct 4, 2025 | Cronos: The New Dawn, Guide

A lone armored soldier aims a weapon at a towering, grotesque creature made of twisted flesh and countless human arms, illuminated by eerie blue and orange light in a dark, cavernous environment. The scene is intense and horror-themed, with candles glowing on an altar in the foreground.

Here’s the quick, no‑BS guide for beating Mother Eliza — perfect if you just want to get it done and move on.

Quick Game Plan

  • Rebuild the Explosive Canisters: As soon as you enter the church, take a few seconds to rebuild every canister around the arena. These are your best tools for clearing mobs and saving ammo. Don’t skip this step; it will save you a headache later on.
  • Stick to the Edges: Keep your distance and stay near the sides of the room. Mother Eliza has a habit of spitting green acid/poison in the main path. This gives you some breathing room to focus on the glowing orange weak spots in the room. Shoot these as fast as possible.
  • Train the Mobs: Once the mobs spawn in, run wide circles around the room. This will help group the mobs behind you chasing you in a “train-like” fashion. When you get close to one of the explosive canisters, punch the canisters to blow them all away — saves ammo and looks incredible.
  • Save Your Ammo: Don’t waste bullets on random mobs. You’ll need them for Eliza.
  • Fire Immunity = Free Damage: You’re immune to fire — use that. Punch the explosive cansiters to save ammo and quickly eliminate multiple enemies at once.
  • Flame Canister = Panic Button: If you get surrounded or pinned, use your flame canister ability. It hits hard, clears mobs, and can clear the room.

Phase 2 – Poison Time

A player in a heavy armored suit fires a glowing weapon at a bright, pulsing orb-like boss in a dark, fleshy cavern during the Mother Eliza boss fight in CRONOS: The New Dawn.
  • Watch for Red Flashes: Once Eliza’s health drops, you’ll see red flashes and the room starts filling with poison — that’s your signal that Phase 2 has started.
  • Run to the Front: Get to the front of the map and rebuild the Orbs on both sides.
  • Avoid the Poison: Stick to either side when the poison fills the room and defend yourself.
  • Back to the Platform: After the poison fades, make your way back to the main platform. Take a breather, reload, and get ready for the last round.

Final Phase – The Finish

A player in a dark armored suit aims an electric-charged weapon at a blood-soaked, humanoid monster with exposed muscles and glowing veins inside a fleshy, cavernous arena in CRONOS: The New Dawn.
  • Stand Your Ground: Keep your focus on the boss and her weak spots.
  • Mobs: Use explosive mines to deal with the approaching mobs, while doing your best to take out the closest enemies, then switch back quickly to the weak spots.
  • Finish It: Keep calm, aim steady, and end the fight.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)

  • Rebuild canisters early.
  • Stay on edges and hit weak spots.
  • Group mobs and punch canisters to clear.
  • You’re immune to fire — take advantage.
  • Red flashes = poison phase → rebuild orbs.
  • Return to the center platform and finish the job.

Fight smart, stay mobile, and keep those canisters burning — GG, boss down.
