  1. 1
    Take the platform up to Zarkhan Stadium for the Doku boss battle.

    Doku uses attacks from Chapter 2, plus a new boomerang attack and a Grab-And-Stab move. Keep your distance and block his attacks.

    Bait Doku into his Rush Attack, evade, and counter with a hard combo. Repeat this strategy to defeat him.

    Defeat the Zombified Soldiers using downward wall strikes, counterattacks, and an Ultimate Technique (UT).

    Before entering the portal, find a chest in the corner containing essence. Grab it and teleport.

    You can optionally participate in Rachel's Enemy Ambush #3: Central Bridge.

    At the Central Bridge, face Warlocks and Samurais. Lure the Warlock, evade its fireball, counter its teleporting combo, and use a follow-up Venom attack. Use leftover essence for UTs on Samurais.

    The last three enemies are Black Spider Ninjas. Finish them off to complete the ambush.

    In the Outer Monastery area, defeat the Shadow Fiends using counterattacks and hard combos.
