Phase 1: Master parrying Abyssal Chains for massive stagger damage. Phase 2: When he teleports, immediately turn camera to locate him. Don't attack blindly. Phase 3: During Darkness Incarnate, stay in light circles scattered around arena. Void damage outside light zones will kill you quickly. Bring healing consumables for this phase.

Spirit Bolts are slow-moving but track you; dodge at last moment for Perfect Dodge. Witch's Wrath has obvious telegraph—this is your main DPS window after successful parry.

Interrupt Meditation Stance immediately—he heals 10% HP every time he completes it. Use your heaviest hitting ability to break his stance. During Bodhi Wave, dodge backwards and create distance. The AoE covers about 15 meters. At 20% HP, he enters Enlightenment Burst state—back away immediately and dodge the massive AoE. After it finishes, he's vulnerable for 10 seconds.

First boss many players face. Excellent practice for parrying mechanics. Kill summoned puppets quickly—they deal distracting damage. String Bind can be escaped by rapidly pressing dodge button.
