How to Beat Taijutsu Master

Beating the Taijutsu master isn’t that difficult since she’s considered an early game boss. Here are some tips:

• This is a great opportunity to practice parrying so try to parry her attacks as you attack her. Her attacks have obvious telegraphs so you can get used to parrying here.
• Use the Ctrl+M1 punch after a hit or two to knock the master in the air and then continue hitting M1 for an air combo.
• Since you’re investing in Strength and Agility, press M to unlock some beginner moves under the Strength or Agility tree to make the fight easier.
