BOSS / The Nameless Captive
The Nameless Captive Boss Guide
A parry-focused fight with a seven-hit second-phase spin tied to Peter’s Perfect Parry.
Area: Prisoner’s Domain. Order: Main boss 4 of 11.
Preparation
For Peter’s Perfect Parry, enter phase two with the stun meter empty enough to survive the full sequence.
Boss strategy
- Use the readable four-swing and head-slam strings to build controlled parries in phase one.
- At the phase transition, recognize the rapid seven-hit spin and choose either full distance or a deliberate parry chain.
- For the achievement pattern, read two slow hits, four faster hits and one final slower hit.
Common mistake
Filling the stun meter before the seven-hit achievement pattern finishes.
Encounter facts
- The Nameless Captive is fought at the end of Prisoner’s Domain.
- Peter’s Perfect Parry requires parrying every hit of the documented seven-hit second-phase spin without an early stagger interrupt.
