How do you beat these things? How do you beat themefficiently?How many of them should you expect along the way? We’re answering all the big Reasoning Death Match questions, using rational analysis of the evidence at-hand.
What Are Reasoning Death Matches?
Every Mystery Labyrinth has Reasoning Death Matches. Your first bout is introduced early into Chapter Zero’s. You’ll be up against the wicked Swank of Amaterasu’s Peacekeepers. He’ll challenge you several times, in fact, though your final bouts in this dungeon will be against the Chapter Zero culprit. No spoilers from us on that one!
Reasoning Death Matches are designed to appear not unlike popular JRPG fights. Yuma and Shinigami stand on one side of a battlefield; the foe stands on the other. Butyour enemy’s assault is constant. They’ll be throwing attacks at you by way of words. That’s right. Words.

How Do You Beat Them?
Beating Reasoning Death Matches boils down to a few things. First, as we’ve mentioned,you need to slash the flame-like fontwhen these phrases come toward Yuma. Butyou should only slash the phrase you believe you have evidence against, as slashing the others causes a shield-like animation, and restarts the villain’s current rant from scratch.
That’s not the end of the world; it’s just a little frustrating.Equip the correct Solution Keythat you feel corresponds to the correct phrase, and you’ll know you’ve gotten it right whenYuma gets a special animation and talks about finding the truth. He’ll refute the statement. In some instances, this concludes the fight. In others, there will bemultiple roundsbefore it’s finished.
How Many Reasoning Death Matches Are In Rain Code?
Enough.
No, we’ll give you a real answer. Each Mystery Labyrinth has roughlyfour to six Reasoning Death Matches, though don’t be surprised if that number shoots up a bit toward the end. You’ll frequently be facingdifferent opponentsthroughout a Labyrinth, albeit a handful of times apiece.
This can add up, and you might feel tired of them by the end of each of Rain Code’s trippy dungeons. The good news is the game does a fine job of offering variety; between Shinigami Puzzles, Question Sessions, Scene Re-Creations, and more, you’ll be plenty busy in other ways between bouts.
