Before the fog
A healthy Vigor investment and an upgraded weapon make this fight more forgiving than extra damage levels alone.
01 · DIVIDED ATTENTION
Do not swing into the whole group. Create distance and let the red-eyed watcher disrupt the fight; punish isolated recovery.
02 · THE FLAME TRAIL
Watch the fire left behind the weapon. Dodge the finishing attack, wait out the trail, then use a short punish instead of a long combo.
Common mistake
Treating the fire trail as if the physical swing were the entire attack.
