Update: Patch v1.10 modified the fight and took away the ability to interrupt the sword slam by using a bomb (to prevent minions spawning). I now recommend saving courage so that you have two rot arrows to take out the minions when they get spawned. Try to line up the boss with the two minions if you can, but otherwise, concentrate on the two minions with rot arrows to get rid of them fast.

Throwing that bomb while she's in the middle just changes this fight... good find.

This is a terrific guide, thank you! I finished Master yesterday, and also watched some other boss guides you did. The dash against Toshi is so OP, makes the fight kind of irrelevant. Also what I really learned from your vids is how good doublejump is to avoid attacks. I used to only use dodge, block and parry, but double jump is so good and lets you punish a lot of attacks, that the other moves can't. Again, thank you!

I really appreciate this man. I couldn’t get a good groove on the second wave. It turned a frustrating part of the fight into something actually a little fun. Thanks again!

Every single boss so far on master i have done because of your tactics. Thank you

Your guides for Kena are great! Working through master mode right now. Thanks for your vids :)

This is so clear and easy to follow, thank you! 🙌

You’re a legend! It took me a few tries, but this strat helped! Thank you! 🙏

YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY AFTER 3 DAYS OF TRYING I GIVE UP NO MORE WILL I PUT MYSELF THROUGH THIS ANY LONGER

Unreal guide, been stuck on this for a few days, the bomb strat makes such a difference thank you

Thank you for the very helpful video. I had been trying for 2 hours, but after watching your video, I was able to accomplish it right away.

I started this game not long ago expecting a pretty chill experience...it's bloody brutal! I got up to this boss last night and didn't manage a single bit of damage and ended up giving up. This guide should help a bit...hopefully!

So Master difficulty is the only trophy I need for the Platinum and all the other bosses weren’t too bad so far except for this one. I legit got stuck but you helped me beat it! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I seriously thought this fight would have been impossible for men but your fight pattern in the second phase was a lifesaver!

These guides are invaluable. I just beat her and I'm shaking. Thanks for the tips!

I enjoy this game alot and this was my first boss that i didn’t like. The second phase just didn’t feel good. I thought that i look on KZfaq how to do it correctly. With this guide the boss became so fun! Got it second try and it may even have have been the best boss yet because it was challenging to get the timings right! Thank you so much

Thank you very much! I needed this type of guide. With the exact jumps and movement you need to make.

Two days I was trying to do this - thank you SO MUCH. It's the second to last boss I'm now dreading...

This strategy is 10/10. After watching this I killed him on my second attempt. Thanks so much!

I stopped playing this game because I couldn't beat this boss. After your film, it took me 5-6 tries, not longer than 15 minutes. THX

I was worried about this boss but got her on 4th attempt on master with this guide. Everything worked just like in the video, Thanks for the guide!

Finally I made it!!! thank you so much, your strategy helped me!

Omg thank you so much! Needed that help at phase 2!

Thanks for the tips my bro. One step closer to the plat.

After trying this, I actually discovered i could parry her as well, and that was awesome. Thanks, your guide let me survive long enough to find that out

Oh my God! Thank You!! I was having trouble with this boss much more than even the final boss(es) Thanks to you I actually had a even easier time dealing with this fight on Master mode than on my first playthrough. And my first playthrough was Expert. The overall combat and damage is relatively the same as Expert Difficulty, just you lose Courage energy when taking any damage (Even Your Own Bombs!) also I noticed when fighting the stone guardian in the forge and trying to expose the weak points on the elbow, face, heel, and shoulder the rock shield regenerates a bit more faster than in Expert Mode (Thanks for your help on that fight too). Other than that the combat is basically the same difficulty... The "weak" enemies does about the same damage as the running bomb guys, even at the start, which is annoying considering you don't even have any basic abilities unlock yet, but are much manageable once you upgrade to at least rot lvl 2or so.

Thanks mate. Took a little bit to nail the second half but not too painful in the end.

You deserved your sub mister!

All these videos are super helpful, thank you!

This guide really helped cheers

This really helped thank you!

If took me a bit to get the bomb - dodge - jump - attack - jump technique down, but once I got it it was so easy!! Thank you!

Could barely get to phase 2. This got me thru first try after watching it. Kinda botched the 2nd phase, but scraped by with a hit but scraped by with a sliver of health left, which is sorta my specialty. Liked and subbed!!

Fantastic strategy, thank you so much

You really saved my ass here. I've switched to Master difficulty with the NG+ and it was brutal. With your guide I managed to get her down before the third phase where she heals up quite a bit again (although it took me a lot of tries).

Excellent guide all around and staying around until the start of the cutscene was nice too. I prefer that to videos ending abruptly after the killing blow.

Thank you, this was helpful, ultimately this fight was easier for me than Taro (I'm doing master difficulty on first play through)

🎉thanks mate helped a lot

This helped me out so much.

Your a life saver! You made this boss fight really easy, thanks 👏🏾

Thank you man! I got it with my first attempt

Well done, best Kena guides on KZfaq.

Omg, you’re my hero

You’re amazing!!

Incredible, thanks!!!

Back again because while I thought I had this fight figured out from playing it on Expert, Phase 2 seems much tankier this time around and I look forward to trying some of these tricks!!

valeu mano, salvou minha vida/ thanx bro u saves my life

Great strats, thanks for sharing. I struggled with this one in 2nd phase as I recall.

This time around, I knew something was up with the golden chest, but I tried everything I could think of, and just gave up and decided to power through her with parries and AI manipulation (the jump aoe attack) Then I wanted to see what I was missing to make this easier, alas I see you use L1 to trigger the bomb and I facepalm. But hey! everything else you did I did almost exactly the same :D (Except the not taking dmg part :V) good video mate!

nice stuff!

To make it even easier, in the final step when stunned with the crystal out don't shoot at yellow crystal, but focus on the body, so that deal damage without dodging attacks, than when the health is low deal the final blow at cystal and a couple of rot hammer to finish

Thanks for the first part

Crazy.. but thanks, have run into your guides a few times 👍

You're a legend :)

Just complete this fight on latest version. The bomb trick does work P2 as long as you don't break the crystal. As soon as you destroy it, the bombs wont interrupt him. Best bet is to only destroy the crystal when your around 30-40% left and have a few rot hammers lined up. p.s. cheers for the videos :)

Thanks!

Fair bloody play fuzzy... I did not have the stones for master difficulty, it was hard enough on expert. Shamefully I got in with the exploit before it was patched 😅!

Man, your guide is awesome! But I’m sadly stuck here. Is it just practice or does lucky also play a role?

Yes, thank you 🙏 for this walk through as I’m still having trouble with the timing but overall I get the concept. Getting to phase 2 is easy just I don’t have the amount of damage like you do getting there. But cross fingers I’ll get it one ☝️ way or another.

I am still stuck on this boss but my 7 year old beat it on his first try. Lol. I am so proud.

2nd try after watching this, thanks!

Good strategy, I tend to parry the minions in phase 1 to build up courage.

Finally passed this boss battle! Didn't "no damage" through it like you, but just glad to finish this one and move one step closer to that trophy. Now just trying to use the sprint dash to get that cursed chest in the fields area (that one on the bridge) and the village one that rewards you with the unicorn hat. Any tips?

Ive attempted this 70+ plus times over the last 5hrs then finally did it. The key is not to bomb her during the cutt scene. I found I would get injured in the fire. I thought this boss was hard until I got to the warrior.

She goes straight into rage mode now after the crystal is destroyed .

I wish I could like this more than once, but also it makes me realize how bad I am at video games lmao

thanks bro

When I beat her and there's a cutscene the game freezes on me. It happened both playthroughs but luckily I could save and didn't have to do the fight over again.

I always play my game first time with the highest hard mod but this boss is a pain like no other.

Ty sooooo much

Only me do i have the luck to take down the boss to 1 hp and get stuck on a tiny little fkn tree in the corner of the arena. LOL. But thanks for the guides man, you are the best, been using them for every boss. Finally beat the fucker :) all thanks to ur guide

How might parrying her swipe at the 1:56 mark effect this fight? What would her next move be? Will she try to do a range attack, or does she only do that once you throw a bomb on her? Asking because my rot abilities may not be at that 3 1/2 level. With this new 1.10 patch, has it only stopped the ability to use the bomb to prevent minion spawning or does it also change up the fight with regards to her defense when you throw a bomb on her (the range attack)? I was able to get through to the beginning of the second phase of the fight (after destroying the pillar) and throw the bomb on her to destroy the crystal, but I die quickly thereafter. lol.

GGs fuzzy, hope they add NG+ or do something to make enemies respawn because there’s bugger all to do once you’ve finished the final boss ehh

Thanks for the guide but how do you prevent her to reach her 3rd phase. (When she's blazing)

Thank you again!!! I'm hoping this is the hardest boss fight for master mode as I really struggled with this one. Eventually got it but! I'm thinking Toshi might give me a lot of trouble.

Bravo

First boss fight from your videos where the boss does NOT do the same pattern even though I do the same thing. Still beat him but had to improvise

Thank u

How tf did you do that so easy?

Im so confused what is a "shield blast" that you used to stun her in the 2nd part of the battle?

Thank u thank u Thank u thank u

This little booger is giving me quite the challenge on this difficulty LOL of course I have to get the Platinum

Thanks to you I managed to beat her in a few tries. I almost did a no damage too but took a last minute hit ! You seem to be very good at challenging games. Which game was the hardest for you ?

hi, quick question. I had my Sheild upgraded to the max. But why does the boss still damage my shield so quickly? From your video, I saw the boss only did like 1/4 of your shield health. Is there any tip for that?

She glitched out for me and stood still for like 2 minutes 😅

Ty

So far both these bosses (Taro and Adira) have a had RED phase after getting to about 25% HP, where they get way more aggressive, and not longer follow the same pattern as showed. These did not trigger on either "guide". Why would that be> Were these changed since you finished the game?

Is there anywhere i can just find a list of the moves the bosses do? I hate following these videos guides pace for pace, if i could just find a video or list of every move and how to parry or dodge it, that would help so much more.

so arrows don't need to be charged 🤦 i missed 3 arrow streak 100s if time because i always charge them

Excuuuuse me.... Impressive...

On mine he turn into a fire monster if he gets to lower health and he gets half of his health back. I wounder why he didn't turn to fire on your fight.

Argh! Sorry for all these questions, but how do you stop the bomb from locking on a minion!? It seems there are times where I jump and as I'm trying to aim at the pillar, it locks on a minion instead. It's so nerve wracking!

I am not sure what I'm doing differently, but I whenever I get her down to about 1/3 health she overcharges and regains a fuckton of health again and goes into rage mode. It seems that even spamming the bombs like you're doing does not prevent the health regain and rage mode. Honestly struggled so hard with Taro as well with this stupidity, it is driving me crazy. This fight wouldn't be so bad on master difficulty if she didn't regain all that health.

I find it's pretty challenging just on normal.

how come I got 2 minions follow him, your video didnt see them?

Even with the guide I am not able too kill her. She also moves into a rage mode where she heals and gets more furious. Any idea why it happens and how to avoid? Seems like no one else has this problem :(

It look so easy when u do it :D i am not able to finish this boss now 2 3 days i think :D

It's a bit harder if it's new game +

Been stuck on this for a week! Anyone want to screenshare ps4 and do it for me ahhh

Rot arrow does the best damage on bosses.
