Where is the boss?

1. Jules Brunet (initially appears as a Foreign Swordsman) is a boss you will face during the main quest Cultural Exchange.
2. As part of the main mission, you must complete a mission of your chosen faction related to Harris. While completing it, you can reach the room with the boss.

How to fight a Foreign Swordsman?

1. Before you start the boss fight, replenish your supplies at the banner. After reaching the battle arena, match the combat style of your weapon to that of the boss - blue arrows should appear next to his health bar. This will guarantee increased effectiveness of your attacks.
2. A Foreign Swordsman fights primarily with a sword. A Swordsman can perform a series of attacks, so be ready to use several countersparks or several dodges in a row.
3. The boss can perform charges with a shield - these can be regular or red attacks. Depending on the speed of the attack, we recommend trying to parry the attack or dodging it.

1. If you move away, Jules may throw a shield at you. Interestingly, the boss won't lose it, because another shield will immediately respawn in his hand. You can stop the flying shield with a parry or dodge to the side.
2. In the second stage of the fight, the boss can also start making long jumps - these are red attacks, so it's better to dodge.
3. Your hero will not kill the boss. After defeating the Foreign Swordsman, he will introduce himself as Jules Brunet and will be able to become one of your companions.
