Strategy
- 1Bring close to 50 meals total — mix cheap cooked chicken with soups and stews that heal up to 700 HP
- 2Bring Palmar Pills for Phase 2; his laser attacks can instantly kill and you will need revives
- 3In Phase 1, dodge left to right when he spins and kicks — most attacks can be avoided with lateral movement
- 4Try to perfect parry his regular melee attacks with your shield for counter-attack openings
- 5In Phase 2, when Master Du leaps onto pillars and zips around, use Focus (slow time) to track his movements
- 6The three large energy bolts in Phase 2 are the hardest attack — he becomes invulnerable during this, dodge them at all costs as they can one-shot you
