Strategy:

Zephyr is a fast and tricky boss. His most dangerous attack is Time Stop. When he raises his hand and a clock appears, quickly attack him to interrupt the time stop. If you fail, he will attack you while you're frozen. His knife throws can be dodged by backdashing or finding gaps. He teleports frequently, so be ready to chase him down. Stay aggressive to prevent him from using Time Stop, but be prepared to dodge his other attacks. After defeating him, you gain the Zephyr Soul (Bullet), which allows you to stop time for a short duration.
