Sanctuary Walkthrough Part 1

Navigate the challenging Sanctuary in Sifu with this walkthrough part 1. Learn to manage enemy types and environmental hazards within the early stages of this .

The Sanctuary is the third major area you'll confront in Sifu, and it presents a significant escalation in combat complexity and environmental hazards. This section will guide you through the initial stages of the Sanctuary, focusing on navigating the crowded corridors and dealing with the varied enemy types you'll encounter. Upon entering, you'll immediately be thrust into a close-quarters brawl. Prioritize identifying and isolating individual enemies. The sheer number of opponents can quickly overwhelm you, so using the environment to your advantage is key. Look for opportunities to use walls for dodges and to break enemy stances. The first few rooms are filled with standard thugs and some more aggressive brawlers. Their attacks are telegraphed, but their speed can be deceptive. Focus on parrying and dodging, and look for openings to unleash your own combos. Don't be afraid to use the throwable objects scattered throughout the environment, such as vases and chairs, to stun or damage groups of enemies. These can be particularly useful for creating breathing room when you're surrounded. As you progress, you'll encounter enemies wielding makeshift weapons like pipes and broom handles. These attacks often have a wider arc and can be more difficult to parry perfectly. Pay close attention to their wind-ups and be prepared to dodge rather than block if you're unsure. The layout of the Sanctuary is often linear but features numerous side paths and alcoves. While some of these may contain useful items like health-restoring food or temporary weapon upgrades, others can lead to ambushes. Always approach new areas with caution, listening for enemy footsteps and vocalizations. Mastering the art of crowd control here is paramount. Utilizing your dodges to weave through groups and your heavy attacks to stagger multiple foes will be essential for survival. Remember, your goal is to thin the herd and create manageable one-on-one encounters whenever possible.
