These attacks are shared by the two

  • Duo Attack

    • The player must stay away while they are spinning. The player can then Parry Yan Liang to deal huge Spirit Gauge damage

Parrying attacks, especially the Fatal Strikes, will decrease your enemy's Spirit Gauge significantly. As such, it is ideal for you to parry as much as possible, then damage them heavily with your Fatal Strike once it is available.

This is the stereotypical dual-boss battle that is in almost all Soulslike games. Like with most dual-boss battles, this fight has an irritating mechanic, which is the revive mechanic. As such, it is advisable to switch targets between the two bosses throughout the fight, making sure that their HP is around the same level. Then, once they are low enough, take down one boss and then the other.

Yan Liang has fast attacks, so players have to be careful as they might get overwhelmed easily. Wen Chou, on the other hand, has slow but heavy-hitting attacks. It will be easy to parry them, but one wrong move and the player can find themselves on the receiving end of more attacks. While it is suggested to switch targets now and then to focus on one boss at a time, always make sure to know where the other boss is. That way, the player will not be surprised by any surprise attacks.
