How to Beat Bosses - General Guide
[1] Understand the basics.
The Prologue of the game perfectly shows the basic movements of the game. Use parry as much as possible. While most of the counters consume Sha-Chi, this one does not. As a bonus, it depletes the enemy's Sha-Chi instead. Sha-Chi is an important resource in combat. With it, you can execute a Sha-Chi combo dealing higher damage to the enemy.
Check the blue flash and the red flash of the boss's attack. Respond correctly.
[2] Use different weapons.
While you might be tempted to stay with your favorite weapon, the game encourages you to try different ones. Not only will you get the satisfaction of seeing these weapons in action, but also certain weapons have an advantage over specific bosses.
Soul has two types of weapons: Primary and Secondary (Phantom Edge). In combat, you can freely switch to another weapon which can help you recover Sha-Chi.
[3] Explore the world.
Itching to fight the boss? Sometimes, you need to slow down. Take the time to explore the world and you will find weapons that might be useful against the boss. Some tales have them, so why not try it? Get stronger by upgrading your weapons through materials.
[4] Learn the attack patterns.
Every boss has their own attacks. Learn them so that you can respond correctly. In Hellwalker (Extreme Difficulty), you will get the chance to see extra moves from the bosses. So, if you want a more challenging fight, choose it.
