How To Easily Defeat Phylake:
- Try avoiding to battle with any of these, PHYLAKE unless you are as equal as their level.
- If you are so eager to have a fight with them then you can approach and battle with them when you are at least 2 levels lower to them.
- Try to start the fight with a Stealth attack. Doing an early damage with the stealth attack is really good.
- Try using the smoke bombs, but don't just use them all at once.
- Try using the light and heavy attack when your enemy is down as using an overpower attack will usually cause a perfect attack which can be used in difficult times.
- When your yellow bar is full, activate it to make yourself to get into fury mode which will turn your regular damage attack in to the heavy damage attack. This is only applicable on Blunt weapons, the Sickle Swords, and Scepters.
- Use the Yellow bar attack when the enemy is usually stunned.
- Use the Scepters in fury mode after unlocking a combo multiplier perks because this will let you make a loop damage attack while causing more damage each time you hit.
- Use your overpower attack with a bow as you will also fill your adrenal gauge while staying away from the boss.
- Stay away and stop attacking and start tackling and dogging the attacks as your third health bar is near to loose as this won't ruminate too quickly. So wait until your health is rejuvenated with the help of regeneration Ability. (Don't forget to take This ability).
- When your health is too low or up to the second bar try using the bow while maintaining the Distance so that your health is been full and then get back in a close combat.
- When there are some friends along with the Phylake then be smart and use the Dawn and Dusk Ability.
- Use sleep dots to easily kill the extra enemies and against bosses to stun them and make a nice and heavy combo attack, while they cant do anything against.
Using fire arrows:
Have any bow equipped and aim it. Then, get close to any fire source (fireplace, brazier, torch) to light the arrow on fire and add fire effects to your next shot. Since a fire source is not always available, you can always use your torch. Throw your torch on the floor, then light the arrow on fire. If you shoot a fire arrow into a red jar or container, it releases an oil that sets the nearby area on fire.
Lots of guarded areas have this, as well as all small boats. It is a great way to quickly kill a lot of enemies.
