Tips
- Upgrade Diamane's starting armor by 1-2 levels before the fight
- Golden Vanguard 2-handed spear is superior for reach and guard-breaking
- Dodge in wide circles — never dodge backward as it leaves you exposed
- Boss constantly blocks frontally in Phase 1 — sidestep and strike from sides/behind
- Phase 2 is significantly harder — expect lengthy fight that tests patience
- Shadow demons summoned in Phase 2 cannot be damaged — focus on dodging
- Bring 100+ Grilled Meat for healing — this fight is long and demanding
- After defeat, Chapter 8 ends and you return as Kliff
NPCs Involved
