Phantom Blade Zero Bosses: Confirmed List & Demo Guide

What makes Huangxing dangerous?

Huangxing is the boss players keep talking about — a pyramid-helmeted flail wielder with an instant-kill grab. The grab is the attack you'll want to learn first. It's also the fight S-GAME uses as the Hellwalker AI example, so expect it to get meaner on NG+.
