Marino (Boss)

Overview

Marino will challenge the Player to a duel on 2 separate occasions. The first of these is after stealing Amalet and fighting the Player in the front courtyard of his Father's mansion and the second is in the Dragonbone Desert as he wishes to go save Luke instead of the Player doing it.

Attacks and abilities

Lunge

Marino will lunge toward the player and attempt a stab. If it connects, he will also slash his Rapier multiple times, dealing more damage. This attack can also see Marino make a Piercing Dash if there is more distance between him and the Player. This attack can be easily avoided by moving upwards.

Piercing Dash

Marino will indicate this by saluting with his Rapier and then dashing to the side of the Player before using a Piercing Dash. He will do this 4 times and can be dodged by moving up or down.

Shadow Clones

In the second fight, Marino will have Shadow Clones that will perform the Lunge attack. They can be killed.

Longer Piercing Dash

Marino will de-summon all Shadow Clones and dash to one side of the arena. He form a line of both himself and his Clones. They will all dash from that side of the arena to the opposite, with the dash indicated by a red arrow. As the dashes are staggered, with some of them dashing before the oth ers, the player must stand away from the red arrow and then move where it was after the attack so avoid the Clones.

As his health gets lower, Marino will perform a variation in which the clones spawn on all 4 sides of the arena. There will be gaps within the lines, providing spaces the Player can stand for safety.

Strategies

Marino moves quite fast, however he has points between attacks where you are able to dal damage. If playing melee, be ready to shield his close range attacks.
