Tips

Use charge attacks on guards with shields.
Be cautious of flame trap floors and laser rooms; utilize protective devices when available.
The mid-air dash is crucial for navigation and combat.
For the Celestial Spectre Shangui fight, use arrow shots to hit Azure Sand on the left, and be ready to dodge his bombs and crimson attacks. Rushing behind him during his falling attack can yield free hits.
