23Castle hall: Rangkus's hammer and firearm
The cinematic shows Tristan defending Pavel, Khazan's revenge target, against a powerful attacker.
Tristan is overpowered, and the attacker kills the defenseless Pavel.
The attacker is Rangkus. Seeing Khazan alive, he turns on him.
Rangkus does not change phases. Potent attacks can interrupt some moves, but respect his hammer combos.
Attack ①:
Four slow hits. Do not guard too early.
Attack ②: repeated cannon fire. Rangkus raises his weapon at range and fires toward Khazan as the muzzle flashes. Move sideways and dodge as each shot approaches. Do not stop to heal or rush in after the first projectile; wait for the firing sequence to finish before closing the distance.
Attack ③:
A charging firearm attack ending in a thrust.
Attack ④:
He charges the firearm and spins through a large area. Interrupt him if possible.
Attack ⑤:
An aerial slam with a visible leap.
Attack ⑥:
A sweep leads into aerial fire and a ground slam, followed by an almost arena-wide ground explosion. Time your dodge for the blast.
Attack ⑦:
A charged stomp resembling his other ground strikes.
Attack ⑧:
Three ranged shots without fire damage; these can be guarded.
24Speak to Tristan: uncover the truth about Pavel

Tristan survives and is surprised to find Khazan alive.
He explains that Pavel pretended to betray Khazan to save him, clearing the misunderstanding too late.
