Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night – Boss Fight Guide

 In this video I will show tips in the best way to beat boss Zangetsu, the Demon Hunter.
Save your spells, potions and ether for the second part as it is the most difficult.
When he calls you to fight with the hand, DO NOT GO, because he will defend your blow, freezing you in the process, if he does it he will beat you and take a good part of your life.
The tip is at this point to jump behind him and strike him from the back.
Beware when he is doing the shadow movement going through the scenario because it is more than certain that at the end of the move he will enter a state of defense, so wait 1 second to interpret what he will do.

From time to time he will use a harpoon on the ceiling to make a jump and hit him, be it on his right side when he falls, when you pass beneath him when he is already on top.
Tip: Make a light leap out of his blow and fall on him with a blow.
Use a heavy weapon of great power of attack like the ax, so the little that you hit you can take enough of his life.
Be careful not to be hit when you attack frontally, because he will always retaliate, especially if you have attempted multiple strokes using a short-range sword. Try to hit twice and run away if it is that type of weapon.
From time to time he also gives a mini jump, to hit the ground. Again, take a mini jump out of his strike and fall down on him because at that moment he is exposed.
When he rides you ready to use the sword, jump over him and hit him from behind.
Beware of his vertical blows, stay away at that time. Avoid jumping over it.

The moment he blows the burning weapon, it’s time to call for the spells.
Use large attack front spells and preferably use the “adder fragment” set in the “Smasher Tentacle”.
You reconfigure immediately during battle.
Crushing Tentacle takes a lot of life from the opponent, but you have to be careful when using it because you have 1 second of exposure to be attacked by the enemy. You need to use it 1 to 2 feet away from it.
Tentacle Smasher spends a lot of magic. Whenever possible, recover with ether using 2 to 3 vials. You need more than half the magic to use the blow.
Life will now be at risk all the time because the blows from the fire saber are now impressive.
Be very careful when he hits the ground because the blaze takes more than a third of his life, you can die at once if he hits you with a critical blow.
So be very careful, manage your life well with potions of life and food.

This boss does not have so much mystery.
He seems a bit intimidating at first but soon you get his pattern.
Stay wherever possible in the middle between the two.
When they start to push right, get close to the left and trigger the magic of the tentacle, the magic will do the risky work for you, and in that moment you will already run off to the center avoiding your bites.
There will be times when they will whip with their tongues, intercalating between one and another, until in a moment the two will whip with their tongues. Just use the double jump at the right time as it threatens to loosen the tongue.
There will be a time when both will release a fire flame from the ground, you can even try to run between the fire, but the safest and stay in the air as long as possible with the double jump.
Finally, in an instant the two will try to corner him with bites, either on top on the right and on the bottom on the left and vice versa, just run down to the head of what will bite up and then retreat soon to not be successful by the chin.

When you enter the room, inspect the curtain to start the battle. Her attacks are very slow, take the opportunity to hit as much as you can, because by the time you start spell attacks you will have to be more cautious.

Whenever possible, give 1 or 2 blows back or jump to attack from behind.

Throughout the fight, she will also throw pairs of umbrellas into the air.

Umbrellas do not hurt can be used as a trampoline, just be careful when they close, because it is at that time that they saw a torpedo to attack you.

The moment she gets a second property, RUN as close as she can and squat because she will cast a horizontal spell that will take a lot of damage, there are a few blind spots on the ground for you to divert but the safest and jump to her back and start to attack her without stopping (this if you’re right next to her).

From time to time she will attack with mini whips of blood from her head up, the safest thing is to be crouched when she does that taque.

At some point in the game she will activate an area spell that will clear the blood of the entire scenario. This technique does no harm to you, but will cure it for a large amount of life. It remains largely unmovable time at the instant of area magic. Take advantage to launch, at that time your biggest attacks, including the fragment of the tentacle.
At the end of the fight, she will summon one or more tornadoes of blood. These tornadoes of blood reach all the way to the ceiling, and they move back and forth, cornering you.
The best place to protect yourself is IN THE DOOR where the attack does not enter.
Avoid at all costs receiving this damage.

Use these techniques to destroy the bloodthirsty boss and claim the Blood Shard as your own, then take the right exit and open the green chest to claim the Red Umbrella for yourself.

For this boss, you need PATIENCE.
Preferably for about 10 to 15 minutes the battle.Because he will be able to hit you at any moment and his damage is impressive, especially if you are attacked by the curse.
The curse takes you half of your life and leaves you unable to use the second part of both the life bar and the mana bar.
So not getting the attack from his curse is critical.
This magic haunts you, even she anticipates you to attack you, causing you to be attacked where you were thinking of running to deflect.
The only way to get away from it is DO NOT RUN. Wait for her to reach the top, only when she begins to descend, you deviate.
So it’s sure she will not hit you.Knowing to deviate from the curse, the rest will become easier.
He will throw poison bombs, fire, ice on top of you.
These pumps are easy to deflect. Just be careful not to let the impact of the bombs hit you.To get ready for this battle, you need potions against poison to help you.
A 3 large potions of life and a large potion of mana.
And a 3 potions against curse (or more if you want to spend money).
Use an armor that has more mana and second attack.Use the healing fragment and the fragment you gained on the boss who sucks blood.

Do not step on the floor that was thrown the potions, because you will be petrified for a few seconds.

The stains on the floor are sucked by the magic of blood.
Then you can clean the entire floor using this spell whenever you can.
So manage your mana well.
Do not rush to kill this boss.

If your life and mana are full, the ground is clear, you can use two long-distance spells like lightning.
But avoid consuming more than 1/3 of your mana because you need mana to clean the floor with the blood magic
