Tips
  • For the Watcher Knight boss fight, equip Sharp Shadow and Quick Focus.
  • Use Sharp Shadow to dash through their spin attacks.
  • Quick Focus is recommended for healing, as it's difficult to find safe moments.
  • When they attack with their Nail, dash through them and attack from behind.
  • When they spin, try to avoid dashing as another Knight might also spin.
