How to Beat Blaze, Shadow Warden Captain

[1] Deflect his chains

Deflect his chains

Minion Instant Kill

If his two minions are annoying you, just focus on one of them. When the insta-kill button shows up, you will kill them both.

[3] Use a mid-range approach in his second phase

Greatsword

The Phosphorous Consciousness phase is dangerous because of the added fire attacks. Keep a little distance with a weapon with long range, like a greatsword, to be more aware of his attacks!
