A Brother’s Keeper is among the many quests in the game and it ends with a particularly difficult boss fight. Players will have to fight Basim, but no amount of brute force will take him down — he doesn’t even have a health bar. Players need to take specific actions to take him down or else the fight will go on indefinitely.
Phase One - Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, And Dodge
The beginning of the battle is almost more of a survival section than an actual fight. Players will need to dodge Basim’s attacks while trying to deal damage as much as possible, even without a health bar in place. These attacks can do a lot of damage, but Basim is still limited in his options.
After players finally manage to deal enough damage, a cutscene will play. This leads to the next phase of the fight.
Phase Two - Stun Basim
From here, a platform will begin to raise. Players will need to keep parrying and dodging Basim’s attacks, still needing to put on the damage. Eventually, players will be given the opportunity to stun Basim with an attack. Almost every attack manages to work to stun him once the platform stops moving. Players then must land one more blow to start the cutscene that transitions into the next section of the fight.
Phase Three - Parkour Chase
During this phase, players will have to chase after Basim while managing lots of parkour-like movements. There are lots of food sources along the way that players can stop to pick up to help replenish their health.
Once they get to the final area and catch up to Basim, players will have to manage one last fight to finish off this boss battle. This part of the fight is easy, see Basim’s glowing hand? Hit it with a well-placed arrow. Once he’s stunned, hit him with one last final stun attack to trigger the final cutscene that ends the battle.
