I have been trying to beat this three eyed hellspawn for hours at this point and I haven't gotten so much as a spolid openingen to swing on her.

Her teleporting is so wild that at times she will teleport before I even get her on screen.
Why is it if a section of a game seems tough people immediately start asking if it's bugged these days?

Ignore the demons she spawns and just concentrate on her. Cast repel to reflect the magic bolts and that should give you enough time to get close enough to swing at her. She WILL teleport away if you aren't quick enough though so you need to make your chances count.

Just one blow with the fully powered-up Soul Reaver is enough to take her out, but if you don't feel confident enough to sink all your magic into the Soul Reaver, save your magic to keep casting repel and use the flame sword instead. You'll need to hit her a few times rather than just once but it's probably the safer option.

Becouse this game is old, janky and ported to modern systems? So a bugged boss fight is very much possible.

This is exactly what I have been doing. But she keeps on dodging me until I run out of mana to recast Repel and I have to juggle swapping between the Reaver and Flame Blade, using Energy Banks to give myself temporary mana and keeping Repel up all of the time.

Sorry to reply to an old thread but I found a similar issue playing the game. The issue is that the boss seems to react to your Repel spell by teleporting far too quickly for you to even get close for a sword attack. She doesn't do this if you aren't shielded by the spell though.

In order to beat her I DID NOT USE the Repel spell and instead try to dodge the green magic orbs as best I could to get a hit on her with Soul Reaver (at full magic it does kill her in a single hit) The demons she summons are pretty easy to just walk around so it's just a matter of timing but it's definitely not how this is supposed to work. Hope this helps anyone who runs into the same issue. The only real problem is the pushback if anything hits you but you can definitely get close enough that the huge range of Soul Reaver will hit her.
Azimuth is teleporting WHEN YOU CATCH HER SPELL (it does not matter whether or not you use Repel spell at all) + there is a real bug if you catch this spell after making final strike by her. So the correct battle tactic - Soul Reaver in the hands of Kain + at least 4 magic runes (for her death from just one strike) + moving to the Azimuth by the arc of the spiral WITHOUT catching her spell and with the full ignoring of summoned demons (you can kill them too if you have enough magic).

About using of Repel spell - now I am playing in BO1 using my mod with the permanent effect of Repel spell for the range attacks, so - by the logic of some players that wrote in this thread - I can't finish the battle with Azimuth at all, but it is not so.

From the other side, my mod also provides double normal speed of Kain and I can say that Azimuth is teleporting very fast, so even such speed is not enough to reach her for the final strike (especially due to described above bug).

Video of the battle: this.
Video of the battle X: this.
(The second one demonstrates the described bug or feature with catching Azimith's spell after the final strike.)

This game has another more critical bug - on the last battle with Moebius. So you should use either one-shot-kill spells (vs humans - Blood Shower or even Control Mind / Spirit Wrack) or weapon with the small enough damage (Axes in the last battle with the "puppet from the future" which is invulnerable to spells), otherwise the HP of enemies will pass through the 0 of the number of the type word (2 bytes) and you will need to remove these extra HP.

So the Lightning and the Soul Reaver are the worst spell and weapon in this battle.
