O'Rin of the Water Boss Fight Tips

Initiate Battle With Powerful Charged Thrust

O'Rin of the Water will not attack you unless you talk to her or ignore her. You can initiate the battle and already damage her HP by implementing a powerful Charged Thrust.

Do Long Guards To Protect Against Attacks

This enemy will have many variations of attacks and some of them can be quite long. It's recommended to hold your guard during her series of attacks to bring her Posture down & open her up for a Deathblow.

Counterattack After Her Perilous Attack

You can avoid O'Rin of the Water's Perilous Attack by jumping! This opens her up for a moment and you can deal damage to her.

Corrupted Monk Boss Fight Battle Strategy

Corrupted Monk Boss Fight Tips

Keep Distance To Trigger Monk's Jump Moves

The Corrupted Monk has many attacks and very little openings for you to counter. It's best to keep your distance and trigger the Monk's jump moves - attacks that give you an opening to deal hits of your own.

Corrupted Monk Boss Moves & Attacks

Continuous Spin Attacks

This move can be blocked by deflecting or avoided by keeping your distance. If you can time your deflects well, you'll be able to put in a couple of counter attacks.

Perilous Attack - Forward Thrust Attack

Since this Perilous Attack cannot be deflected, step-dodge or jump to the side. When you're able to successfully avoid this attack, you can attack the Corrupted Monk with a few strikes.

Perilous Attack - 360 Degree Spin

The Corrupted Monk will spin 360 degrees and you can avoid getting hurt by jumping above the spear.

Jump Attack

The Corrupted Monk will jump up and strike down with their spear. You can dodge this step-dodge to the left or right. You can also parry and do a counterattack. Since the Corrupted Monk will take time for its next attack after this move, you can put in a couple of hits.
