Boss: Phantom General

  • Stats / Weaknesses: No specific stats provided, but can be knocked down with Blade Geyser or stunned with Earthcaller.
  • Phases:
    1. The General attacks with Forward Slash, Ground Slam, and Whirlwind.
    2. After taking damage, he summons a group of Demonic Soldiers. Defeat them before refocusing on the General.
    3. He resumes attacking with Forward Slash, Ground Slam, Whirlwind, and can summon more soldiers.
  • Strategy: Use hit-and-run tactics. Dash in, attack a few times, and dash away when he begins an attack. Dodge his moves and attack when opportunities arise. Prioritize dealing with summoned soldiers. Use Blade Geyser or Earthcaller to create openings for free attacks. After sufficient damage, perform the finishing move.
  • Prison Break (Achievement/Trophy) - 20 points
  • Chasm Jumper (Achievement/Trophy) - 10 points
  • Shadowflight (New Ability)
Tips
  • A Life Stone Shard is like a piece of Heart; four are needed for an additional health bar.
  • The Phantom General acts similarly to smaller demon soldiers but with enhanced attacks and durability.
  • Be mindful of the General's invincibility during his Whirlwind attack.
