How to Complete the Anomalous Looping Katana Commission: An Introduction to the Anomalous Looping Katana Combat Strategy

The Anomalous Ringed Demon Blade Commission is a high-difficulty challenge where players face a spirit enemy wielding a demon blade, whose attack patterns are characterized by high burst and rapid displacement, making it easy to be one-shot if not careful. Today, I will share with you how to tackle the Anomalous Ringed Demon Blade Commission. This anomaly usually appears in the construction site of an abandoned shrine, with a narrow fighting environment that increases the difficulty of dodging, as detailed below.

When the demon blade locks onto the player at the start, it initiates a three-strike thrust, with the ground showing a red warning line 0.5 seconds in advance. Rolling to the side front can avoid this (do not retreat, as the third strike has an expanded range). When the Boss's HP drops to 70%, it triggers teleportation and creates a clone; the real body will have purple mist swirling around the hilt, while the fake one will have blue mist.

Focus on attacking the real body; hitting the fake one will trigger a full-screen sword rain (you need to hide in the gaps between containers to avoid it). A key technique is to keep moving counterclockwise around the pillars (the steel columns stacked at the dock can block projectiles), forcing the Boss to miss its attacks and become stunned for 2 seconds.

In the second phase (when the HP reaches 40%), the demon blade charges for 5 seconds to release the "Blood Prison Barrier," causing continuous damage to players within the area. It must be interrupted! Use a submachine gun to quickly shoot the glowing core on its chest (about 80 bullets needed). If successfully interrupted, the Boss will be paralyzed for 10 seconds. Immediately use the "Gravity Bomb" skill to control the field, then switch to a shotgun for close-range attacks on the weak point; during this window, you can deal 25% of its HP.

After defeating the Boss, a sealing array will appear. Approach and press the interaction key to enter the QTE sequence. You need to complete three button presses within 10 seconds: the first is to press the "left arrow key," the second is to rapidly tap the "F key," and the third is to hold down the "space bar" for 2 seconds. If all operations are performed accurately, you will receive an additional material [Demon Blade Fragment] ×3 (used to synthesize a purple greatsword). If the QTE fails, you will only get the basic reward [Alienated Alloy] ×5.

The Anomalous Ringed Demon Blade test involves predicting movement and timing bursts, with the core being using cover to avoid thrusts and quickly identifying the real and fake bodies. Of course, if you're not confident, you can improve your own strength first. The key to victory in the second phase is interrupting the charge, so make sure to reserve submachine gun ammunition. Familiarize yourself with the QTE button sequence in advance; achieving a perfect seal can earn you precious weapon materials, offering much better value than repeatedly farming dungeons.
