Kearush: win with short openings

Kearush appears during Demenissian Delegation.

He has three health bars.

Prepare before the fight

Buy and cook healing food.

Upgrade Health and Stamina first.

Refine armor and weapons.

PowerPyx recommends Refinement 4 or higher.

Do not rely on the shield

Kearush does not reward blocking.

Parries are not the main answer.

Dodge forward and to his right.

This puts you behind him.

Use three quick attacks.

Then stop and prepare again.

Watch the purple phase

Back away when he slows down.

The purple glow signals a spirit attack.

Create distance before projectiles start.

Simple fight loop

  1. Dodge through the heavy swing.
  2. Move behind Kearush.
  3. Use a short quick-attack chain.
  4. Reset your position.

Greed causes most deaths here.
