How to Defeat Stone Hand Iron Fever in Phantom Blade Zero - Phantom Blade Zero Guide - IGN

Stone Hand Iron Fever is a story boss in Phantom Blade Zero , and he appears during the Snake's Reflection main quest. He's the third story boss you encounter in the Crimson Forest. Here are a few tips and strategies for how to win this fight.

Climb down the ladder near the Mirrorwood Entrance bell to enter a wide clearing where you face off against Stone Hand Iron Fever .

These are the special moves you need to know about:

Iron Fever deals big damage in melee range since he attacks with his fists. Be ready to parry quick combos with no gimmicks. He just wants to punch and kick you, so try to get used to his combo timings.

Iron Fever’s weakness is that his blue-flash and red-flash attacks don’t change up very much in the first half of the fight. They often come out of the same combo, and your counters deplete huge chunks of his Sha-Chi meter, giving you plenty of time to perform long combos as he recovers.

Iron Fever becomes enraged and glows purple once his HP hits 50%. He becomes far more aggressive, but his moves stay largely the same.

He does add one new red-flash grab, though. Watch for when he pauses, then lunges straight at you as he flashes red. This one isn’t part of a combo.

Other than that, you should be a bit more defensive in this phase because his attacks come in rapid succession with very few pauses. Don’t try to counterattack too early or you’ll end up getting caught in his next combo.

You’re rewarded with the Iron Gauntlets Phantom Edge (Martial) after winning the battle. The Iron Gauntlets have high shield-breaking power and can buff your main weapon as you land hits.
