I will present you in this article the hardest boss in PoP,one of the main characters in the game and the ruler of the entire fortress,The Empress of Time Kaileena.
About - Kaileena can be considered a hand-crafter of the castle,her origins are known to be from Island of Time,but no one still knows where she has been grown or by who.
Some says she is a servant of the Empress of Time or some says that she is herself the empress which the prince sought to stop her from creating the sands.Remains at your decision,in what you will trust.
All the creatures on the isle has its own description and history.It says the empress created them one by one giving to everyone a name like Keeper,Raider,Bladedancer,Shilouette etc. and they are controlled by herself standing in front of her highness and serving as minions.
(As you can see,any enemy of the prince has its eyes yellow and shines a bit.That means they are made with Sands of Time,created by the Empress)
Kaileena will represent the second and boss in Warrior Within or just the second if you choose the Hard difficulty.
This is the artwork picture with her (the artowork si unlocked when you find the coffer in the Throne Room where you will fight the first time with Kaileena)
The first contact she takes with the prince is in Sacrificial Altar where she is rescued from Shahdee that turned against her being no longer a strong minion of the empress.
After the prince asks her for information she do not reveals her true identity lying the prince that empress meets with no one and she is very busy in this important day.
Then,after Shahdee says her last words to the prince and disappeared the area crashes and Kaileena is saved by the prince for the second time.
The second contact (meeting) between prince and the empress will be in the Hourglass Chamber when she will offer him the Serpent Sword to undo the fortifications of the castle opening so the Throne Room door.
The Serpent Sword serves as a key to activate the bridges through the towers.
After the prince finishes the first objective,he turns back into the Central Hall and finds Kaileena that offers him a second weapon,named Lion Sword
This mystical weapon wil break up when the prince finishes the battle against Kaileena.
Encounter - After the prince finishes the second tower,he returns to the Hourglass Chamber where he will fight soon in the Throne Room with Kaileena.This battle is named The Betrayal,because Kaileena betrays the prince in her quest to change the Timeline.
So,after a short cinematic you will start the battle.
The easiest way to kill her is to slow down the time,again and again,or without you will find most impossible.
You can block many combos she does with Dual-Swords but sometimes you will be disarmed or knocked down even if you still parry attacks!
This fight is NOT a easy one without the sands of time (I suggest you to have the full tanks of sands that are unlocked).
If you are experienced or do not wish to lose sand tanks then you can try a combo with (toward enemy) SPACE + Mouse1+Mouse1 for an aerial landing slice.
With two weapons try a classic combo,used in the fight against monsters (Mouse1 + E +Mouse1)
The truth is that it is not so hard to pass this stage,I recommend you the sands way to use if you do not wanna lose so much time.
She also has the abillity to teleport if you run away or walk around,disarming you after the process is done.
After you take her aproximmate 40% health she will banish herself into a small fire cyclone being immune to your damage until you defeat the two sword guards she called.
These guardians are similar to Crow Master,the colour and the weapon making the only difference.
You will find hard to kill them if you do not slow the time.When each of them dies,you can collect 2 more sand tanks and Kaileena will cancel that fire cyclone.
(Even if you use Eye of the Storm abillity she will still counterattck some of your combos,but is better than to do this without it.
NOTE - If you remain without sand tanks try run in the throne room and crush some objects that you will find around,many of them contain sands of time.
At 20% health,the empress Kaileena will banish herself again being the same script as the first time.
(Do not get in sight of the cyclone,because you will be hard damaged and knocked down)
And this is a picture with one of the Imperial Guards
So,after all I said,we can notice this battle is not a easy one,but not impossible too.Just remain with enough sand tanks during the encounter and slow down the time everytime you can.
I also suggest you to pick up the swords of these imperial guards,it will resist for the entire war with the empress.
This is a video with the encounter of Kaileena found on Youtube (I DID NOT UPLOADED IT,I JUST CHOSE IT FROM A LOT OF PoP VIDEO UPLOADS ABOUT THIS)
