Great guide! No idea what the community did before you made them.

Maybe someone else can confirm this.

I’ve found through tons of runs of Castrum (6 weapons with 15 totems) that the sword mechanic is way easier than what people think. You only have to pay attention to the swords that drop close to boss and the East wall swords. The second set (West Wall) is there to throw you off. If first set drops by boss, you’ll move to East wall sword while avoiding the pattern of the first sword drop and Vice versa if the East wall swords drop first. Doing it this has NEVER failed me and I have run castrum many a times.

Still getting used to the fight but I already hate doing this on my samurai.

thank God and Yoshi-P for the Monk rework cause these cutscenes made losing GL a pain!

I watch a lot of guides and visuals of the sword phase and still dont undertand a single crap how it works....XD

When you say that you use mitigation for the orbs, are you saying things like Feint and Reprisal will make the orbs do less damage?
