Defeating the Blade Phantom in The First Berserker: Khazan
--------------------------------------------------------Phase 1
The spectral voices haunting Khazan manifest as the Blade Phantom during the Trials of the Frozen Mountain on Stormpass. This multi-phase battle will push your stamina management and aggression control to the limit with relentless attacks.
Combat unfolds in a blood-flooded castle where the Phantom employs devastating move sets:
- Six-hit combo: Four punches followed by two kicks (second kick has delayed timing)
- Three-hit sequence: Two punches culminating in a downward kick
- Four-attack chain: Right hook into two kicks finishing with a leaping smash
- Flashing punch combo that transitions into a dangerous grab (requires precise dodging)
The Phantom wields three deadly weapon forms. Its hammer summon creates shockwaves with protruding spikes, while the spear enables teleporting smash attacks after throws. The blade variant executes lightning-fast six-hit combinations. Watch for disappearing acts and unpredictable dashes across the battlefield.
Mastering parry timings between these assaults creates openings to drain the Phantom's stamina. Execute Brutal Attacks when vulnerable to reduce its health by half, triggering phase two.

Phase 2
The battle intensifies with claw assaults - four rapid swipes followed by a devastating aerial spear throw. Evacuate the impact zone immediately to avoid the subsequent leaping slash. Prepare for a deadly sequence: three greatsword swings concluding with a hammer smash.
While retaining many phase-one techniques, the enhanced Phantom adds spear thrust combos and rapid dual-wielding strikes (4-6 sequences). Increased teleportation forces constant spatial awareness. The greatsword's multi-slash pattern climaxes with a screen-marked Burst Attack (red "P" symbol) - perfect your Counterattack (L1/LB + Circle/B) timing to regain stamina and create punishment windows.
Maximize damage by delaying Brutal Attacks until the last possible moment. Successful execution rewards 8,640 Lacrima, Soul Eater gear components, a Shieldsman's Ring, and Netherworld Mineral for crafting.
