- Equipment should be fully upgraded before this quest
- Corrupted Caliburn uses heavy sword slashes — dodge-rolling is essential
- Shadow copies can be ignored — focus on the main boss body
- Bow attacks during later phases are deadlier — prioritize dodging
- Jumping sword attack occurs after 30% of a health bar depletes
- Healing items are expensive at this point — avoid unnecessary damage
- Grilled Meat heals for ~500 HP, sufficient for mid-fight recovery
