Alright, let's dive into Part 23. This section's got a couple of things going on: first, we'll deal with a boss called Gamov, and then we'll tackle a mission that involves a bit of a choice between a boss or an ambush. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it all.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, hit up the Save Point and Muramasa's Shop if you need anything. Then, head back out of the Monastery towards the Monastery Plaza.
2
Follow the path, taking out the soldiers on your way to Drawbridge Hill. There's another Save Point here if you need it. Keep going down the steps towards Drawbridge Square.
3
In Drawbridge Square, pull the lever to lower the bridge. You'll then run into some Red Dinos. You don't *have* to fight them, but if you do, Rachel gets the BLADE OF THE OUROBOROS Sorcery. After that, use the Blue-jeweled doorway to exit.
4
Roll jump towards the soldiers waiting for you. Prioritize taking out the Grenadier first, then use your Ultimate Techniques (UTs) on the other two. Once they're down, find the cracked wall at the end of the path and strike it to reveal a secret passage. Grab the goodie inside and head down the zigzag path to the next gate.
5
You'll arrive at Dworku Alleyway. Now you have a choice: head to Great Bridge Square for a boss fight, or go to the Military Gate for an enemy ambush. If you decide to do both, it's best to tackle the ambush first. Go up the stairs and through the Red-jeweled door to the Military Gate.
6
RACHEL ENEMY AMBUSH #2: MILITARY GATE
This ambush throws Shadow Fiends and Red Dinos at you. Use counterattacks for the Shadow Fiends and keep your distance from the Dinos. After you defeat the Shadow Fiends, use the Essence they drop for UTs on the Red Dinos. You can also use the exploding barrels scattered around to your advantage. After this fight, Rachel will get a SPIRIT OF THE DEVILS item.
7
After the ambush (or if you skipped it), make your way to the Bronze Lilly Door. Deal with any soldiers that pop up and use the Save Point nearby. Then, head to Clock Tower Square and exit through the Green-jeweled door. If you need to restock at Muramasa's Shop, this is your last chance before the boss, so do it now!
8
Head into Great Bridge Square, which is the large open area past the green-jeweled door. Get ready, because a Black Spider ambush is waiting for you. Use quick dodges and strong combos to take them down. Once they're all defeated, you'll trigger the boss battle against Gamov.

BOSS BATTLE: GAMOV

Gamov's got a few annoying moves, so watch out for:

Armor-Piercing Bullets
3-Hit Knife Combo
Knife Uppercut and Blast
Overhead Dive and Grab

His gunfire can be brutal. Your best bet is to block and roll whenever he starts shooting. If you stand still, his bullets will break Rachel's guard and deal massive damage.

Strategy:

When Gamov fires, block and then immediately roll forward towards him. The goal is to get up close and bait him into his Knife Combos.
As soon as you're close, he'll start punching. This is your cue to hit him with a Counter Attack *before* he breaks your guard. The timing needs to be quick! If you miss the counter and he breaks your guard, quickly roll away to stop his combo before you take too much damage.
When you successfully counter Gamov, Rachel will knock him down. Immediately press the Triangle button to deal extra damage. Even if he doesn't flinch from the counter, he'll still take significant damage.
Keep blocking and countering whenever possible. If he tries to dive over you, roll away to avoid the grab. The main strategy here is to stay close and counter him to prevent him from using his guns. This close-quarters counter game is way more effective than trying to fight him from a distance.

Once you defeat Gamov, you'll get a MISSION COMPLETE!
