Introduction
So, for starters:
  1. Where can I find the boss?
    At the end of the game there will be a mandatory battle with him, do not miss it.

  2. Do I have to dodge perfectly when fighting him if I want to pass without the "no damage" challenge?
    Not obligatory. If you just want to beat the boss, and even do it faster, it is better to sometimes deal a lot of damage at a time, but for this you will receive damage accordingly.

  3. Is the boss difficult to complete?
    When playing with the possibility of receiving damage - not very much, in 5-10 attempts you will definitely master it. But if you need to defeat it without taking damage, then be prepared for the fact that you will suffer mercilessly (I personally had such an experience).

  4. Why is there no first boss of the game in the guide?
    I decided that it was too light to be considered at all. But if someone really needs a guide on it, then write in the comments under the guide, I will read and add it.
Now we move on to analyzing the boss's attacks and other actions and inactions, taking into account passing it without damage (masochist's dream).
-------- Actions and omissions --------
Inactive









Description
The boss's normal position, which is the transition between its attacks. Nothing interesting except that you can deal damage to it during this transition.
He adjusts his hat











Description
This is one of the variants of attacks that... not an attack? Yeah, that's right. During this "attack", you can safely beat the boss.
----------------- Phase 1 -----------------
Daggers













Description
And now we move on to the first real attack - daggers. Takatsugu throws daggers in the amount of 3 pieces in our direction, while there are 2 variations of this attack:
  1. They fly straight: one dagger flies exactly horizontally, and the other 2 above and below diagonally. After the attack, the boss jumps in the opposite direction from the attack.

  2. Flying at an incline: All 3 daggers fly at a downward angle. After the attack, the boss jumps in the opposite direction from the attack.

How to dodge
  1. Makes a somersault to the side of the attack

  2. We move back with a normal step or somersault/jerk.
Sword thrust

How to dodge
Jump over or do a somersault over it/dash over it.

  2. When away from the boss: just throw the staff at the spheres (the effect is the same).
