Combat tips
The sweep, death touch, and main scythe strike after teleporting cannot be parried. Reorient after the teleport, then move or dodge out of range. This encounter progresses through the story; you do not need to deplete the unusually large health bar.
Phase one
Catacombs encounter: Teleporting scythe strikes and death touch
Moves and states
It follows a teleport with a scythe slash, and also sweeps and reaches out at close range. The sweep, death touch, and main scythe strike in the teleport slash cannot be negated by parrying.
Dodging and handling
After each teleport, locate the body and attack direction first, then retreat out of the scythe’s path; when it sweeps or reaches out, move or dodge out of the hit zone; do not stand still and try to parry.
Counterattacking and advancing
Only attack briefly once you confirm this round of scythe swings or reaching attacks has ended, and stay ready to reposition again. This encounter mainly advances the story; there is no need to repeatedly spend supplies trying to empty its unusually large health bar.
Phase two
Encounter wrap-up
Moves and states
This story encounter checks the player’s near-death protection action; it does not require emptying Death’s large health bar.
Dodging and handling
Once the story takes over, follow the prompts; do not treat this encounter as the proper fight for obtaining Soul Harvest.
Counterattacking and advancing
Continue exploring after the encounter ends; you can obtain Soul Harvest only through the proper fight in Notre-Dame’s Choir.
