This fight can only take 10 minutes max, but that's
More than enough with a good strategy. Dark Element has three attack
Patterns. The 1st is where he does a 3-hit combo; just attack him until
The third hit of it, then guard. The 2nd is to back up and use his
Power attack. Either guard against this, or time a power strike so you're
Unaffected by it. The 3rd is when he uses a lightning bolt to petrify
You, but it is very unlikely that he'll use it. As long as you've powered up either Max or Monica; and by now you really should have, you should be able to kill him off with no problems.
