Description
The Commander is the second boss that Harkyn faces within the game. Found in the Square of the Heroes in the Monastery, this boss has several varied attacks with a long reach.

Attacks

 * Shield Smash: The Commander smashes his shield on the ground, causing a tremor that will knock you back. The tremor causes large balls of light to fall from the sky which deal damage on impact, so try your best to avoid those.
 * Forward Lunge: The Commander Lunges at you with his sword a large distance, doing a medicore amount of damage.
 * Slash Combo: The Commander Slashes twice, doing damage. (Simple roll dodge)
 * Magic Wave: The Commander winds up his blade which will shoot 1-2 waves of magic. Roll from the waves closer to the ground, and use your shield on the higher waves. (If you're dual wielding, just roll again from the higher waves)
 * Ally Summon: The Commander extends his sword, which summons 1 or 2 enemies. He will also deliver another tremor at his feet, and immerse himself in a circle of shields. You cannot attack through these shields.

Strategy
Stay close to him, just waltz a little with him until he performs 'Shield Smash'. Roll away from the tremor and go in to attack. You will only be able to sneak in 1 to 3 attacks depending on your weaponry (Using your gauntlet is also a viable alternative.). Staying close to The Commander lowers the chances of him casting lengthy, abilities that provide you with no opportunity to do any damage. When he casts 'Ally Summon', just kill the enemies that he summons, and continue fighting. Make it snappy though or else he will come back up and you'll have to deal with multiple enemies, which is very pesky. Other than that the fight is mind numbing, but after a few tries at this fight, the feeling of accomplishment is definitely there.
