Detailed steps

  1. Advance the Death encounter story in Catacombs of Paris.

  2. Catacombs encounter: Teleporting scythe strikes and death touch

    Attacks: 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.

    How to dodge: 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.

    When to counter: 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.

  3. Encounter wrap-up

    Attacks: This story encounter checks the player’s near-death protection action; it does not require emptying Death’s large health bar.

    How to dodge: Once the story takes over, follow the prompts; do not treat this encounter as the proper fight for obtaining Soul Harvest.

    When to counter: Continue exploring after the encounter ends; you can obtain Soul Harvest only through the proper fight in Notre-Dame’s Choir.

  4. Wait for the encounter sequence to end, then continue exploring.

  5. To obtain Soul Harvest or unlock Double Jump, continue reading the guide to the full Death fight and skill tutorials in Notre-Dame.
