Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Odur is susceptible to parries and backstabs.
• Resistances: High resistance to status effects.
• Recommended Weapons: Fast weapons like the Dagger or Saber are effective for quick hits.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Odur uses a variety of sword attacks, including quick slashes and lunges. He will also use his signature move, the 'Odur's Dance', a rapid series of attacks.
2. Phase 2: Odur becomes more aggressive, chaining attacks more frequently and adding a new leaping attack. He may also summon spectral clones to attack alongside him.
3. Phase 3: In his final phase, Odur gains enhanced speed and power. He will frequently use his Odur's Dance and may unleash a devastating area-of-effect attack.

Strategy:

• Parry and Counter: Mastering the parry system is crucial. Time your parries to deflect Odur's attacks and create openings for counter-attacks.
• Dodge and Weave: When parrying is not an option, focus on dodging his attacks. His lunges can be dodged by sidestepping, and his sweeping attacks by rolling.
• Exploit Openings: After successfully parrying or dodging a combo, strike quickly to deal damage. Do not overcommit, as Odur can quickly retaliate.
• Manage Stamina: Keep an eye on your stamina bar. Running out of stamina will leave you vulnerable.
• Use Plagues: If you have acquired any plague weapons that are effective against Odur, use them during openings to inflict additional damage or status effects.
• Patience is Key: This is a difficult fight. Do not get discouraged if you fail. Learn from each attempt, adapt your strategy, and eventually, you will overcome Odur.
