Chapter 11-5: Katrina's Mech

Knack Guide Video 11-5

This fight is pretty fun and knowing what you are doing helps a TON.

The fight itself takes place in three different phases:

PHASE 1:

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

The first part is right where you start. The mech will start off with its sword-swipe combo. Dodge towards the mech at an angle (like during the last fight) and you'll be safe and can get a hit in.

After that the mech will fly off and from a distance will shoot energy spheres on the ground. When you see her fly off, run to the far right or left to tempt her to shoot them on the side.

Next she will do a dash attack at you. Dodge this at the last second and do a three-hit follow up (she will stop on the ground and give you time to do this).

A scene will play here, and Katrina will fly off. Follow her using the path and dodging the shots. You must collect the relics on the way or else you will die of poisoning. On to phase 2!

PHASE 2:

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

This phase is much like the previous one. It starts with the sword combo which lets you get a hit in. Next she will fly off again and do a dash attack. Be sure to dodge it but note that she will fly off immediately again and do a second dash attack. Dodge this one as well and get in a three hit combo again (once again she will have to rest).

Another scene will play and you'll have to move to another arena. once again dodge the shots and collect the relics. At the end (when you start going north) be aware that she will shoot a fast large shot down the middle of the path. This is what the areas off to the left and right are for: to dodge into. Grab the relics at the end (they can be hard to see) and get ready for the last phase.

PHASE 3:

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Once you get on this platform Katrina will immediately do a new attack: she will plunge her sword into the ground and make an energy wave appear. Jump over it and air attack her. There's a free hit right from the bat!

From here watch for sword combos you can get a hit on as well as more sword jump attacks. Feel free to use your powers here too (Shockwave). Keep up the attacks and you'll soon see a scene, taking you from this chapter to the next.
