Thought this game would be good to test on due to the art style. I've 100%'ed all 3 games in this series, although I only own 1 and 3. (but have ranted 2 MANY times) Sly 3 has optional "challenge" versions of normal missions, which are required for 100% completion. This one though, is hands down the most annoying, so I knew I had to record it.

Anyone who's played this game will know that if there's anyone who epitomises "That One Boss", it's Tsao. So ehat's worse than fighting this incredibly intense and annoying battle? Doing it in 'two hits and you die' mode! You need a lot of knowledge of this guy's attack patterns for this challenge, and even then, you'll probably fail several times.

His basic shield-blade attack is pretty annoying, as it's so fast. Then he starts with the zombie hands. The best way to aboid them is to climb the bamboo stalks...which Tsao will attempt to CUT DOWN. (yeah, he's actually smart) The dragon attack can be outrun, but CAN hit you on bamboo stalks, as far as I remember.
Note: knowing his attack 'tells' is important. If he dosen't flich when hit, get away, he's about to use a spin attack. If his SHIELD glows, he's going to use the dragon attack, a glowing hand means zombie hands. The foward blade attack, however, comes with little to no warning, so you need to know when to fight and when to back off. (I messed up once here. You're allowed ONE screw-up, thankfully, but no more)

This is actually the second stage of the fight. The first stage is a separate challenge, but its a lot easier than this. I've recorded it too, but thought I'd upload it separatly.

"The black magic of the family Tsao... IS UNSTOPPABLE!"
