Scenario: A three-phase soulslike fight against a fallen warden, tuned for a methodical player at hard difficulty. 1. CONCEPT — Warden Osset, the prison's last gaoler, still guarding a jail that was emptied years ago. The core feeling: pity — he's not evil, he's loyal to a dead duty. 2. ARENA — A collapsed cell block, cells open on both sides. Hazard: a rusted chandelier that drops if struck. Interactive: a winch that lifts the portcullis gate — raising it mid-fight reveals a shortcut but also lets in two rats. 3. PHASES — - Phase 1 "The Sweep": tell is Osset dragging his greatsword along the stone floor (sparks). Threat: a wide 180-degree arc that covers the whole room. Counter: roll through the swing's late frames and strike his back during the recovery. - Phase 2 "The Lockdown": at half health he slams the portcullis shut, cutting the arena in half. Threat: you're trapped on one side with him. Counter: pull the winch to reopen it, baiting him through the gate to get a backstab. - Phase 3 "The Oath": he plants the sword and starts a slow, buffed overhead that will shatter the floor. Threat: a telegraphed arena-wide slam. Counter: drop the chandelier on him to interrupt the charge and open a long punish window. 4. TELEGRAPHS — The sweep's sparks last two beats before the swing. The slam has a three-beat wind-up with a glowing floor ring. The overhead's ring shrinks inward for four beats. 5. WEAKNESS — Osset's left pauldron is missing (visible crack). Heavy hits there stagger him out of any charge, opening a window to land three hits.
