Tips and Strategies

Use Short Rests Often

Dark Alliance The Face of Kelvin 05
Normally, skipping Short Rests are good to have better quality equipment. However, this stage has very few chests that give out equipment.

So, it may be in your best interests to use Short Rests often especially if you are going solo. A lot of enemies here are hard to kill so keeping up your health as well as your consumables is very ideal.

Boss Strategy: Kelvin

Powered Up Giant

Dark Alliance The Face of Kelvin 06
While he is the boss of the this stage, he isn't exactly that hard to defeat. He just really packs a punch as some of his hits take more than 50% of your health. It's just a matter of being careful on your hits especially if you're using close ranged hitters.

Dodge his attacks which are pretty slow and predictable, then, counter for a few hits then back away. This boss battle is longer than it is difficult unless you're over-levelled at this point and have amazing equipment.
