- From the terrace bell, follow the torches uphill with the waterwheel on your right. At ①, rail A is farther from the wheel than rail B. Both simulated landings from the middle of the rails reach the lower field. The jump into the courtyard is unconfirmed. For the known route, follow blue to ②, run up the wall and follow blue to ③.
- If already inside the yard, defeat the enemies blocking the way. From the wooden boards, look ahead. The fire is right of the low shed, and 5 fence posts stand beyond it on the right. Walk to the fire without crossing that fence. Follow the teal line on the terrace side of the fire to ③. If you climbed at ②, follow blue directly to ③. Between the two posts, face the terraces and drop from the red edge to the green ledge about 3.1 m below. Follow green to ④ and examine the glowing red-cloaked scarecrow to trigger the fight.
- A red-flash attack leads into another unblockable hit. Keep moving after the first dodge and counter after the follow-up. Move across the fireball’s path after release and adjust your distance before the next shot.
- When she vanishes in fire at close range, stop attacking and move sideways. Avoid the decoy where she stood and the delayed blast where you were standing. Find her again before attacking.
- When she sprays fire forward from her sleeve, leave the stream sideways. It hits repeatedly and cannot be parried. Approach from the side after the flames stop.
- When explosions follow your feet, keep moving sideways across open ground. Each blast targets your updated position. Attack only after new blasts stop appearing behind you.
- When she changes position and shoots fireballs, turn the camera toward her and move across their path. Keep moving after the first fireball. Close the distance after the volley ends.
- During successive ground explosions, watch both your feet and your escape route. Move through clear spaces between blasts. Explosions can also reach the edge of the arena.
- When the red-eyed fire circle targets your feet, leave the marked spot and move away from her. Two more attacks around her cannot be parried. Wait for the second one to end before closing in.
- When she rises into the air, turn the camera toward the arena and leave room to run sideways. Avoid the clones' volley and the charged fireball. If she dives, avoid the fire ring after she lands. If she disappears, avoid the decoy and locate her before pursuing.
