Detailed steps
Advance the Death encounter story in Catacombs of Paris.
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.
