Given the option, the Pokémon battle will help out massively, so take it if you get the chance. Hit the Noble enough times in a short enough window and you’ll get to go to an optional Pokémon battle bit, or skip that entirely and just keep throwing balms.

When you’re not dodging, you’re throwing. Fortunately, their attacks are heavily telegraphed and dodging gives you a brief window of invulnerability, so make sure that you’re dodging just before the attack would hit you, if you can’t simply run around it. Time it like you would a parry in other games and you’ll do just fine.

In return, they throw attacks at you - if you take enough hits, you will black out and lose, and nobody wants that. This really comes to the fore in the boss fights no matter which of the five Nobles you’re battling, this is always how battles start and end - and if you don’t want to do a Pokémon battle, this can easily be the entire boss fight.Įach fight involves you throwing an infinite supply of balms (balls of medicine) at the Noble.
