Sasa Kai Shrine Walkthrough – Modest Test of Strength
Just like all tests of strength, Sasa Kai Shrine has a guardian waiting for you inside. However, you have to use a “larger sword” and “shield” to defeat this Guardian. So, to do so, equip a broad sword and a shield before soldiering on into battle.
Once the battle starts, the guardian comes out to tackle you down. Just like any other of the guardians in the shrine, it’ll have a sword and spear on hand. If you time your dodges well, you’ll be able to perform a flurry attack before it can lay a finger on you.
However, there are times the guardian will attempt to use a spinning attack. Your cue for this is when it jumps back far away. When it starts spinning, you have two ways to go around this. You either can use the post to stun him before smacking him down. Or, use your dodges and parries to deal another Flurry Rush into its face.
If you want to prevent it from using its spear, stick close to its body. That way, the opportunistic AI will be less prone to using spear attacks. If it does use spear attacks, dodge sideways before Flurry Rushing its face again.
Once he’s down, you claim your Frost Blade from the treasure chest. Also, you can head up to the altar and speak to Sasa Kai to grab the Spirit Orb.
