Zuo Shang, the Order's Shadow Sovereign · Encounter and tactics
- This is the opening rain-night encounter with Zuo Shang, the Order's Shadow Sovereign, reached through the story. It is separate from the final battle. The opening rain scene leads straight into combat. There is no bell or challenge gate to find.
- When a blue flash appears during a sword combo, perfect-block just before impact to trigger Ghoststep behind him. A pause between strikes does not necessarily end the combo.
- Dodge the close-range grab. When the enemy reaches or lunges, move out of its path. Perfect-block the blue-flash strike just before impact.
- Dodge the red-flash grab: neither blocking nor perfect blocking stops it. If the final strike of a combo flashes red, switch from defense to dodging.
- After the encounter, continue with the old man’s dialogue. No separate weapon reward has been confirmed for this opening fight.
