Boss Fight: Rogue Process

Click here to see a detailed guide on this Boss.

The first phase requires you to deal with a huge monstrosity. Have him perform a slow attack to land a couple of yours. Sometimes spikes protrude whenever you’re close, when it happens, remain distant until it subsides. Perform some dodges, and you will eventually familiarize with the pattern.

During the second phase, it now becomes a humanoid. Study your own pattern to understand its tactics as it sports similar moves. Do note that it will be much faster than you, and is quick to deal damage. Time whenever it finishes a combo to inflict your own, rinse and repeat.

Once you beat it, a rewarding cutscene will ensue and eventually credits will roll.
