Before the Banquet
Equip healing food before attending the event. Because the fight follows dialogue and story scenes, it is easy to enter with poor supplies if you came directly from exploration.
Fight Strategy
Stay at angles where you can read Kearush’s body movement. Avoid standing beneath him too long, roll out of heavy slams, and punish only after larger recovery animations.
Story Importance
Kearush escaping is part of the broader Demeniss plot. The real takeaway is Damiane’s warning that hostile forces are manipulating the Greymanes from behind the scenes.
Quick Tips
- Unlock the camera if lock-on becomes cramped.
- Heal after knockdowns or long whiffs.
- Treat the fight as a survival check, not a damage race.
