Nier Replicant Ver.1.22 - Gretel 2.0 & Kaine (Shade) Hard Difficulty - 9th boss Guide

Описание: This video shows how to beat the bosses of the new game Nier Replicant Ver. 1.22 - Gretel 2.0 (with Shades - Back in the lost shrine) & Kaine (The Evil Shade) on Hard difficulty. Strategy/Tips - These bosses are back to back with each other. Gretel with Shades (Boss appears when Nier goes back to the Lost shrine): Phase 1 (00:30):
In this phase, if at range, the boss will throw fireballs at you. Shades will constantly be spawning so luring them in the light would get them killed. No need to focus on the shades. For the boss, Go to range and let him cast before running and slamming him. If you stay at melee, it is just going to shield itself.
Phase 2 (02:41):
In this phase, the boss would start moving and meleeing you. If at range, he could cast his fire orbs. The Shades stop spawning in this phase. The best way to deal with this phase is to parry his melee attacks and slam! That's what I did for most of this phase. Boss does hit hard if you miss the timing though :).
Phase 3 (05:41):
In this phase, the boss starts charging like crazy so it is best to dodge while he is doing that. He does start hurting if you get stuck somewhere. Rest of his attacks remain the same. Fire balls at range and melee attacks if you are close.

Kaine (Shade that arises) (10:52): Tips/attacks:
1) She would basically keep jumping from wall to wall and casting the red/pink balls attacks that need to be dodged. If you hit her with 3-4 lances, she gets knocked off and you have an oppurtunity to land some melee attacks. Let your lances go only after she has stopped hopping otherwise they do miss.
2) After loosing some hp, she would also stand far on the floor and cast a red magic ball attack that would converge on you. Be careful. If a lot of them hit you, your hp could go down pretty fast.
3) Also, after landing a few attacks once you knock her down, she would get up and lunge with melee attacks on you. I tried to parry those but apparently they can't get parried. So just dodge away.
That's it! Not a complicated fight this one. Also, when the finisher timer appears, I think if you manage to kill it at anytime, the fight will end. I guess it was running just too quick for me to kill it during that timer. But think it is possible with capsules and magic attack along with physical attack spam.
