The Defense Plans
Enter the War Room. Pick up the Defense Plans from the central table. This triggers a cutscene and the chapter's boss fight.
3. Boss: Shadow Inquisitor
The Inquisitor attacks with fast, dual-wielded daggers and uses smoke bombs to break your lock-on.
When he throws a smoke bomb, immediately start rolling backward. Wait for him to lunge from the smoke, parry his attack, and punish him with a heavy combo. Do not use slow magical attacks here, as he will easily dodge them.
Drops: Inquisitor's Cloak, 1,200 Gold.
