Beat the demo boss with fewer consumable mistakes
Stabilize defense before fishing for parries
Do not turn every early attack into a parry test.
- Use the first pass to learn combo length, then counter after the last hit.
- When you see a heavy wind-up or red threat, reposition instead of gambling on guard.
- In groups, focus one main target first and handle flankers after it drops.
Absorb souls only in safe windows
Souls are both reward and bait; greedy absorption breaks the fight rhythm.
- Finishers, knockdowns, and cleared rooms are the safest absorption windows.
- If ranged or lunging enemies remain, dodge to a safer angle before absorbing.
- During bosses, take small soul windows after major stagger and spend the rest on spacing and camera control.
Boss route: fewer experiments, more saved resources
The clear comes from carrying heals and Oni power into the boss room.
- Do not restart normal enemy sections for no-hit attempts; learn patterns and conserve supplies.
- In phase one, stop after two hits until you can read the three main openers.
- Save Oni power for major boss recovery windows or for ending a dangerous phase quickly.
