Monk

Location

Forbidden Isle

Abilities

Monk has three attacks.

Palm Strike: Monk will dash a small distance, extending a hand, then strike at the player with the other.

Crane Strike: Monk will enter a crane pose, then attack forward along the ground.

Sky Kick: Monk will place a hand on the ground, then leap into the air, kicking in a semi-circle from front to back. He will only use this attack if the player is above him.

In his second phase, Monk gains another attack. He also moves towards the player faster

Flash Strike: Monk flashes blue and crouches for a second. If the player hits him in this time with their sword, they will be stunned, and Monk will unleash a powerful counter. Otherwise, he will either jump in the air and use a broader attack, or move along the floor with a longer attack.

• There is a counter window after Monk finishes this attack.

Monk can recover once before being fully stunned.

All of Monk's attacks create a blue wave, signifying their hurtboxes.

Strategy

Monk most commonly uses Crane Strike and Palm Strike. Both can be avoided with a double jump, and as long as the player lands before he attacks again, he is unlikely to use Sky Kick.

Hitting Monk with Throw during the charge of his Flash Strike will not trigger his counter. (Whether it does damage or not is unknown, but it likely does)

It's recommended to avoid crying during the fight, if you can.
