Strategy
Wendy
Wendy’s weak point is her eye. Attack it with Dark Blast or Dark Lance when it is not covered by the moving tentacle-like aura around her while guarding against or avoiding the orb projectiles that she fires. Note that you can also use Dark Wall to shield yourself from the orbs.
Wendy will eventually summon shades on the platforms. Kill them off first and Wendy should expose her eye again. Fire charged Dark Lance to damage her and repeat the process until the attack gauge appears. Aim for it and watch the cutscene.
After the cutscene, be ready to run away from Wendy’s laser attack. Emil will eventually try to hold off Wendy’s beam. This is the signal for you to run to the bridge behind Wendy (to the south going to the chief’s house). Be careful of the orb projectiles firing behind the boss which can cause you to fall off the bridge. Attack her back eye with magic and she should fall to the nearby platform. Head to her location and continue chipping away at her health while employing the earlier strategies when she calls out more shades in the area. Finish Wendy off when the attack gauge appears.
