BOSS BATTLE: GENSHIN - PART FOUR
Genshin is more agile than in previous encounters and can evade and counter your attacks. His new attacks are flame-based but are easy to evade. Evade his hard combos and block his attacks. Stay evasive, then attack with a hard combo. Evade again after the combo and repeat.
Immediately after this battle, you will face another boss.
BOSS BATTLE: ELIZEBET - PART TWO
This battle is similar to the previous encounter with Elizebet, but she has more endurance. Stay close to her, bait her into fighting one-on-one, and block and evade her combos. Counter with Blade of the Archfiend combos.
ELIZEBET GLITCH NOTE: If Elizebet catches Ryu with her Blood Swirl attack, the game may freeze. Ryu will be stuck, and Elizebet will disappear. If this happens, you must reload the level and fight Genshin again.
After defeating Elizebet, pick up the HEART OF CRIMSON BLOOD item from the floor. Use the portal to the next area.
AREA: GATEWAY OF JUDGEMENT
Open the chest behind Ryu for an item. Stock up at the Muramasa Statue. Approach the Save Statue and save your game. There is no turning back after entering the next door.
Enter the large black doorway.
As you enter the pathway, you will encounter Van Gelf enemies. Eliminate them with your new weapon. Approach the door at the end to trigger a tough boss battle.
- When fighting Centaurs, focus on hitting their backs after they attack to stun them.
- Killing the big red fish in the River of Blood is a better option than trying to dodge them.
- The Blade of the Archfiend is effective against the Van Gelf enemies.
- Be prepared for a boss battle immediately after defeating Genshin.
- If Elizebet's Blood Swirl attack freezes the game, you will need to restart the level from the last save point.
