there is no window for reaction on most nasty lows, so you have to learn the patterns, that design part kinda sucks in my opnion. That and the armored strings.
That's a ridiculous amount of assumptions you're making there.
Of course it takes ages because he isn't really engaging in the fight with all its mechanics.
If you hold L1 you will block but also increase your own structure. Try to push L1 just before getting hit. With this your structure will still increase but also hers. Try to stay away or avoid her attacks to bring down your own structure.
You don't take any damage if you perfect parry her hit, if you miss a hit it's small enough making this a good trade for the structure damage on this attack. It's actually really easy just by spam taping L1 real fast when she comes at you, much easier than her other more complex moves. Keep an eye on your own structure and keep a distance to recover.
2nd phase the main thing you do is catch her thrown blades and throw them back. So you need that upgrade. She has like 2 attacks I could counter or dodge and they were her dash and jump attacks.
You need to increase the structure of the boss to maximum amount two times before his health depletes completely. Otherwise you won't be granted the spare option and kill him instead. It is important to focus on parrying and blocking his attacks more than avoiding them to increase his structure. Parrying is better than blocking. Blunt weapons are also better for increasing the structure.
Just don't expect to beat everything on your first try. Play passive the first time you meet a boss and really focus on the movement of each attack. It is not that hard to beat a boss but surely difficult to beat one and not lose a life. Be more patient and work on your reaction time.
A bit weaker after the museum. But still cool.
I was completely confused at first until i realised it's always the same pattern.
There are not a lot of openings to get some hits in and the fight takes a bit longer than the other bosses. But there is a certain rhythm to the fight that makes it very appealing once you got it down. Keep at it! You managed 4 of them and Yang won't stand a chance against you.
yeah and you can parry it except for the 1st swing in phase 2. If you do, with structure impact upgrade it becomes a joke, I posted a clip of that earlier
It's also fun to stay away and learn her patterns. I thought i would struggle a lot since i was convinced she must be harder than the artist but that wasn't the case.
I had the exact same problem and was wondering what i'm doing wrong so i figured you might have the same. This presents a whole new challenge when you try to "defeat" a boss.
I know the pain. Learning how to avoid sweeps is so valuable in Sifu
And they tell you harder mode incoming
So i spared the first boss and killed the second while trying to spare him. Does this matter for the overall progression if i just replay the second level and spare him at a fresh attempt?
