The best way to defeat Matthias is by using the Watch and Learn mechanic to learn his Pump Kick during the fight and using it against him. Make sure to distance yourself first, as this move requires you to charge up before you can execute it.
Successfully hitting Matthias with the Pump Kick should leave him completely vulnerable, giving you a huge opening to attack and whittle down his health.
Aside from his Pump Kick, Matthias typically fights with his sword to execute various slashes that can catch you off guard if you are too close. Try to keep your distance and let him attack first since his moves can be easily telegraphed due to their long recovery times, then start retaliating after he finishes his combo to slowly whittle down his health.

Lastly, we highly recommend keeping your shield up during the fight since Matthias does not have any high stamina consumption attacks that you cannot block. Observe his movements while holding your shield up so you can easily block any unsuspected attacks that can knock you down and leave you vulnerable.
| Move | Details |
|---|---|
| Pump Kick | Matthias briefly winds up and charges at you to perform a double flying knee kick that can easily knock you down. Observe his stance and watch out for his left knee so you can dodge away as soon as he performs the attack. |
| Double Slash | Matthias winds up his sword behind him to perform a wide sweeping slash and immediately follows up with an overhead slash. Keep your distance when he performs this move as it has a long wind up animation that gives you enough time to roll backwards and avoid getting hit. |
