Ashen Vigil

A dark-fantasy boss fight in a ruined bell court. Face Veyr, Keeper of the Hollow Bell: read his combinations, dodge through his sword and floor-cracking slams, and break him across two phases.

Ashen Vigil is a single, hand-tuned boss encounter by Blendi Bylygbashi.

An armored wanderer enters an enclosed, moonlit bell court to face Veyr, Keeper of the Hollow Bell. Veyr fights in eight evolving combinations, kicks and counters when you crowd him, and in his second phase adds a jumping slam that cracks the floor. Attacks have committed wind-ups and recoveries, damage comes from the actual blade sweeping the bodies, and dodges are timed, not free. You can also play as Ember, a small robot, from the pause menu.

Controls: WASD move, Shift sprint, J or right mouse strike, K or left mouse heavy strike, Space or X dodge, Q target focus, E begin the fight, R retry, Escape pause (settings, character, camera), drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. Xbox controllers are supported.
