Twin Lions Boss Fight Walkthrough
Gemini Leo is one of the hardest bosses in the game currently, due to a mix of high damage attacks and unpredictable animations. The boss makes small movements during all of its animations, which is to be expected given its design, but this leads to lots of errant parries and late dodges.
Gemini Leo will incorporate fireworks into many of their attacks. A frequent attack they will use involves them swipes diagonally while unleashing one burst of fireworkscausing damage to a large area. Although you can parry this attack extremely short settlement makes it hard to see coming.
Sometimes the twin lions come jump backwards into the air before throws a firework bomb on you. When you see the boss jump into the air, get ready parry the firework bomb for some free damage to the Qi meter.
They also come often stand upright before bringing the lion's head down on you in a fairly standard attack. This one is a little easier to parry due to its longer roll up. Similarly, Twin Lions will often perform one quick head bang followed by a leg sweep. Even if you get hit by the head bang, spam the parry button to deflect the leg sweep.
Gemini Leo has two gold attacks. The first one has them hurry upsends you flying into the air if hit. This attack does a ton of damage, but is relatively easy to avoid once you get the timing down.
Their second gold attack comes first create pillars around the arenawhich they then climb onto. Then the boss will dive on you; the only way to avoid this attack is to dodge right before they hit you. If there is a pillar in their dive lane, the boss will jump onto it. Run over to the pillar and press the button prompt to launch themdealing heavy damage and leaving them vulnerable for a few seconds.
Sometimes the bottom prompt does not appearthen you just need to back away and carefully avoid any follow-up attacks. This is most likely a bug.
The Twin Lions have another attack using the pillars, where they climb onto them dive roll in your direction. You can either avoid this as the gold version of the attack, or parry at the last second.
Gemini Leo has a red attack: a sweep followed by an uppercut. Parry the attack's second hit to deliver a counterattack.
Very rarely will the Gemini Leo do that move to the center of the arena and begin throwing fireworks in all directions. The intended way to deal with this attack is to shoot a fire arrow at the boss's headbut we have found that you don't have enough time to take out the bow and aim the arrow before the fireworks start exploding. If this is the case for you too, only avoid the fireworks instead.
Phase 2
Once you've drained the boss's first health bar, the fight enters phase two, which is pretty much more of the same, except that all of the Twin Lions' attacks will be faster and stronger. Moreover, its animations will become even more unpredictablewith very small differences or more movements before and during each attack.
The firework bomb attack will also launch one second bomb after the firstso be prepared to parry them both.
A new attack during this phase has the boss spin around while launching fireworks. You can use Meridian Touch to cancel this attack, but just like the other firework attack, it's hard to hit this prompt while avoiding the fireworks, especially if you're close to the boss when it starts using this attack.
Overall, this boss will test your patience (especially with the cutscene before each attempt). Take things slow and learn which attacks you can comfortably parry and which ones are better avoided. If all else fails, consider lowering the difficulty or enabling Assist Deflection. We will not judge you; this one is brutal.
