If users are too far, they will be chased by the invisible Bloodhound Knight Darriwil, yet if they are too close, the boss will slash in an upwards motion while jumping away. The key is to be within a medium range of Darriwil and try to avoid the attacks.

If at a medium distance, Darriwil will slice upwards and then down towards gamers. There should then be an opening to strike.

Learning slashes is important to fight

Darriwil will sometimes just slice with their sword in a single strike. Other times, it will be a combo of three slashes. One will be upwards, one to the right side, and one down.

Learning this combo will better allow players to avoid the attacks and not be destroyed in the process.

Use time in between attacks for breathing room

When Darriwil slices towards players and jumps backwards to put some distance between themselves and the player, it's a good time to restore health. Users should drink a potion during this short window as they are not being attacked.

Doing this can greatly improve their chances of besting Bloodhound Knight Darriwil in battle.
