The window to steal opens after you have performed a perfect guard on the boss when he reaches out to grab you with his tentacle arm.

Stealing from this boss will take some time and practice because of the speed he does his tentacle attack and the fact that you need to be pretty close to steal before the window closes after you perfect guard. The attack you are looking for is where the boss is located at the center of the arena and swings his arm back to grab you from a distance.

If you are standing to close to the boss he will try to punch you so you need to stay just out of his reach to coax him into performing the tentacle arm move. As soon as you see him whip his arm backwards, start running towards the boss to close some of the distance between him and your character. Stop running when he is about ready to whip his arm forwards toward your character. He will then whip his arm forward and then pull it back at the last second to grab you. As he is about ready to pull his arm back and it will make contact with you, hit the guard button to perform a perfect guard.

Once you block the attack the window will open. Run toward him and perform a jump to steal from his upper torso section. If you have closed enough of the distance before perfect guarding the attack you should be able to steal the item while the window is open.

Perfect guarding his attack is all about timing and them move occurs pretty quickly. Remember that the time where you need to perfect guard will occur sooner when you run toward him to close the distance. This will take a couple of times to perfect.

If you time it right you will receive a napoletana.
