[Ghost of Tsushima] Dual of Crashing Waves | Flawless | Lethal Mode

Sword play is tough on lethal mode. You have very little room for error and 2 hits will down you in these boss battles here I show you how to complete the battle as efficiently as possible with minimum damage taken. Stance and timing is everything. Most duals are against swordsmen so make sure you go in with Stone stance before each battle because changing in battle is nearly impossible. Blue markers indicate PARRY (L1) markers and blockable moves IF timed right. Red markers are unblockable and must be DODGED (O) in order to get a counter. If you fail to time either of these moves properly you are dead or close to it. Iron Will may get you back up but the enemy EVERY single time you get up immediately hits with a red attack making it impossible to recover.

Tips to Master the Dual:
1.) Its OK to just block and dodge a few times to watch their pattern. Note however if you go down the next battle starts right away and the pattern will change 90% of the time when the round starts they come with back to back red attacks so prepare to dodge.
2.) When they flurry the first 2 or 3 stacks are basic attacks and you can perry them and get in a flurry of counters. Make sure to use HEAVY MELEE attacks to wear down their stamina bar. The stamina bar is the white bar above their health and only once broken can you inflict damage to their health.
3.) When they SHEALTH their sword they are planning a Heavy Attack (Red Marker) every time. So you know this is coming prepare to DODGE (O) this will open them up for a massive heavy attack counter and you can inflict massive damage if you time it right.
4.) Don't be afraid to use Heavenly Strike, yes it burns resolve but it is unblockable by the opponent and can break or counter a blue or red attack incoming by them.
5.) It is OK to fail. Be patient on lower difficult you can hack away on them. Lethal is unforgiving you must be patient you will lose some of these just be patient watch what they do and how they move and you will master the way of the sword.

Hope you enjoyed.
