Anyway, normal enemies can be staggered with just one perfect block. But since this is a boss-level enemy, you must do it a couple of times before he gets staggered. Mad Donkey uses long horizontal attacks, which means he can hit you with a deadly combo from afar. So, keep your distance, and analyze his attacks to understand the pattern. He mostly swings his weapon three consecutive times.
How do you beat Mad Donkey?
So, when you are just about to get hit, block the incoming attack to perform a perfect block. The best time to use the perfect guard will be when he’s using a Frenzy move. These moves make the enemy glow red before they start their heavy combo. Remember that Frenzy Attacks can’t be blocked with a normal guard, so you virtually have no other choice. Once he’s staggered, you will see his weak spot glow red. This spot will be located on his back, so get behind him, perform a light attack, and wait for your heavy attack combo to finish. Repeat the same steps, and the battle will be over in no time.
