Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Fire Damage
• Resistances: Ice Damage
• Vulnerability: Stagger (when parried correctly)

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Swift Strikes
   The Shadow Monk begins with rapid sword attacks. Dodge or parry these to create openings. Use fire-based attacks when possible.
2. Phase 2: Shadow Arts
   The Monk utilizes shadow clones and area-of-effect attacks. Prioritize dodging the clones and be aware of the ground effects.
3. Phase 3: Desperation
   The Monk becomes more aggressive, combining rapid strikes with powerful shadow abilities. Maintain defensive pressure and look for parry opportunities to stagger the boss.

Strategy:

• Equip fire-infused weapons or use fire-based techniques to maximize damage.
• Master the parry system to counter the Monk's swift attacks and create stagger opportunities.
• Keep moving to avoid area-of-effect attacks and shadow clones.
• Use hit-and-run tactics during Phase 3 to avoid overwhelming damage.
• Conserve healing items for critical moments, especially during the final phase.
