Here, you canjump toward Sínodo and give them a smack in the face a few good times,asdodging the Miasma Clouds isn’t overly challenging,as it just takestiming your Double Jump and Air Dash to land in the gapsbetween the waves.

Metal Face
After dropping Sínodo’s health a bit past halfway, they will switch to a Metal Face, serving as a DPS check of sorts, similar to when an MMO Boss enters an enraged state, and you must kill them quickly or essentially die. Here, they only have one attack, which we will cover below!
