GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating the Dark Entity:
Make sure you have an item called Energy Bank. This item allows you to access to mass amounts of magic energy for a brief period of time. When the fight begins, use the Energy Bank, then switch to the Soul Reaver. Swipe away at the Boss as quickly as possible. He will go down in two hits before he has a chance to do anything. Note: Make sure you do not have a two-handed weapon like the Soul Reaver equipped or you will not be able to use the Energy Bank (or any other items). Alternately, slash the Dark Entity repeatedly with the flame sword when it is on screen and casting the magical barrier once in awhile.

Telekinesis kills:
Stand at a location where an enemy cannot get you and use Telekinesis on them. It will knock them down, causing damage. After a few hits, the enemy will die.

Easy kills:
Block every attack from the enemies. After your bar fills, either use Rage, Berserk or Immolate on the enemy to dispatch them with ease.

Jump attacks:
A very helpful move is Jump. Try to use it on single enemies whenever possible. You can also jump on them, turn, and jump away. Repeating this to kill enemies without taking damage to yourself.
