Boss 11: Kishgal The Peerless Yunica/Nightmare Mode Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8372D4D360FA0ED9 Yunica reaches the apex of the Tower's final floor; there, she finds Kishgal waiting for her. The warrior revels in the hardened Yunica, claiming the value of the deaths she's faced making her stronger. Yunica counters Kishgal's concept of strength with her own, echoing her father's words and how they led to her accepting her own weaknesses to better herself. Kishgal, interested by Yunica's notion of strength, reveals his demonic form, the madness he accepted to become strong. Her father's sword in hand, Yunica faces the battle-lusting Kishgal once more. ════════════════════════════ Like Epona, Kishgal uses all of his moves from his first encounter, the only difference being that the odds are now more stacked in your favor. Kishgal will engage with numerous attacks, including a wave of ice shards that will catch lateral movement, a basic halberd strike, or an ice tornado if you jump near him during his down time. The main opening of his is when he shoots patterns of icicles across the ground. Unless he does a surprise X pattern, it is easy to jump behind him and attack him once or twice before firing a charged Phoenix Flame which will also destroy the icicles if aimed properly. If you're quick enough to chain Yunica's Lunge Attack into Phoenix Flame, you'll rack up damage rather quickly. Just don't be too greedy, as on top of attacking quickly afterwards he also has two counters should you keep attacking his shield. On top of those, Kishgal will eventually start attacking more frequently. His spread ice shards in particular will become a bigger nuisance when combined with other attacks. For instance, if he shoots the delayed raining icicles then you have to keep running to dodge them, but if you jump on reflex to avoid the ice shards then you'll get tagged by the rain. The same can also be said for his ice dragons, which need to be dodged a certain way that can be hindered by either the icicle rain or the ice shards. For these cases, it's always handy to have Thunder Crash ready to use should you find yourself wedged in-between them. His strongest attack drops a giant ice shelf onto the field, causing the ground to deep freeze and cause constant damage on top of the initial drop. Thankfully it's a heavily telegraphed attack, so there's plenty of time to avoid it. It's best to initially stand still since he takes some time to aim, and then move to whichever side is necessary, jumping over the icicles that come out of the ground. Again, Yunica's burst attack is also useful should you find yourself in a pinch. Like Epona, his individual attacks don't do much damage, so it's just a battle of keeping up with his speed and knowing how to deal with whatever he throws your way. ════════════════════════════ Kishgal struggles to his feet, the demonic energy surging from within. Realizing he was unable to keep it under control, the warrior whimsically admits defeat. With his last words, Kishgal acknowledges the strength of the Tovah's and the pride he found in ending with such a fitting battle, fading away with no regrets. Yunica herself has a brief moment of regret over their meeting, but quickly regains focus: nothing stands between her and stopping Dalles' plans.
