Boss Fight: Deikrag

  1. Attacks: Jump slam (area effect), normal slam with crystal projectiles (one has an aura to stun), charge attack (can be bounced off), and a leaping crystal rain followed by a ground slam.
  2. Strategy: Wait for the jump attack combo, destroy the aura crystal to stun Deikrag, and attack. When he charges, bounce off him, stay close, wait for his fist attack, then attack and back up. Lure him into another jump attack or charge. Repeat.
Tips
  • Use Kumori Hypercharge to easily defeat Samurai enemies.
  • Zombie Butcher blades can be used for vertical traversal.
  • Slime enemies can only be damaged by kunai or Hypercharge from a distance.
  • The Behemoth section is a race against time due to crumbling pillars.
  • When Deikrag uses his charge attack, bouncing off him is key to survival.
  • Dodge falling rocks during his charge attack.
