Boss Fight: Sissna
Phase 1: Sissna's attack patterns are similar to yours and other human NPCs, featuring light attack combos and heavy attacks. This phase is relatively straightforward.
Phase 2: This phase is significantly more difficult. The recommended strategy is tedious: wait for Sissna's attack, dodge, and then wait for an opening. This is risky as you may not always be in a safe position after dodging.
- When Sissna transforms into a spider, do not attack. Simply dodge her attacks and wait for her to reposition. Attacking in this form is highly risky.
- The same applies when she begins walking and her 'legs' attack. Dodge her attacks and wait for openings.
