Duskfade Bosses

The gate is a test, not a cutscene

When the bar ticks a quarter, the boss typically leaps to a charge position and the floor stops being a simple melee ring. Wrath coverage is the template: centre leap, arena change, outer platforms, Grapple in, hit to cancel. Later Duskfade bosses reuse the same gate logic with different geometry — do not wait for a unique tutorial prompt.

Failing the route is failing the fight

If you stay in the old circle and mash heavy, the charge lands. Perfect dodge still helps in the combat quarters; it does not skip the platform exam. Potion rules stay TBA. Inputs for the sword half: combat.

Wrath is the only fight where that template is written out move by move. Use it as the drill, then apply the same gate rule to names we have not captured.

Arena and tells

Coverage of the demo end: a wide lava floor, gear-blade arms, a chain on the back, fast closes, slams, and projectile spreads. The teachable tell is the centre leap — that is the gate, not a random hop. Stay locked during the combat quarter so a lunge does not leave the camera behind.

Grapple interrupt — the actual win condition

At a health gate Wrath jumps to the middle and winds a charge. Grapple the outer platforms, traverse the new layout, get close, and strike to cancel. Missing the hook is a wipe more often than missing a combo. If Grapple is not in the kit yet, you are not ready for this arena — unlock path: abilities.

Do not invent a damage formula

No published HP, stagger value, or “best gadget DPS” exists for this page. Spend Upgrade Gears on mobility and a Clock Heart pip before the chain, then play the interrupt. Cosmetics do not change the fight. Story placement: walkthrough.

Once Wrath is a solved loop, the rest of the Duskfade bosses list is a TBA table — names without move sheets.

Spanish pairs are aliases, not two bosses

Tristeza, Culpa, Soledad, Wilhelm Anclado, and Padre Gaoth are the same community names in Spanish copy. Do not count them twice. HUD text in your build is the label that matters.

Despair is a story name first

Steam copy says Despair seized Allira. That does not automatically mean a final-arena move list. Cast context: characters. Region names around each fight: locations.

Names without a captured loop still need the same prep as Wrath: health, Grapple, and a plan for the 25% gate.

Gadgets are a bar, not a second sword

Blast / Chronoblast spend Temporal Energy and refill when you deal damage. They help in combat quarters; they do not skip the platform exam. Full kit: abilities. Tree list: upgrades.

First hours still apply

If this is your first chain, run the movement drill on the beginner guide before you treat Wrath as a DPS check.

When the floor suddenly is not a floor, that is the next section — not a bug.

Guayota and later names use the same grammar

Footage after Wrath shows a second fight (community-labeled Guayota). This page will not write a slam list we have not verified. Apply the gate table. If the HUD name differs from the roster, trust the HUD.

Where to go after a win

The next map is usually Tick Town, not the next name on a fan list. Hub loop: walkthrough. Region labels: locations.

If you only needed Wrath, you already have the interrupt. The FAQ covers the questions that still stall a search.
