How to defeat Ash in Soul Hackers 2

As soon as you start the battle, you will face Ash and her primary demon, Night Lilim. In the start, Ash will be a bit slower and won’t be using her full arsenal of attacks.

Once her health drops down to 75%, the fight will pause and there will be a cutscene. After the cut scene, Ash will unleash her full potential and will start using all of her attacks.

After the cutscene, the fight will start again, and be sure to have healed because this is where things will start to get rough. Ash will start using her Ashes-to-Ashes ability which is going to cause some pretty serious damage to your teammates.

As soon as she hits one of your teammates with the Almighty damage, heal them immediately so they can continue fighting because most probably they will be on the brink of death.

Ash’s demons are somewhat annoying because no matter how many times you kill them, Ash will summon them again so it’s best to put all your focus on Ash so you can finish the fight as soon as possible.

Ash is weak against Force so be sure to use every Force attack you can to deal as much damage, as quickly as possible. You don’t have to deplete 100% of her health, because she will die as soon as she reaches 25% health.

Stay consistent with your attacks and don’t make haste because that isn’t going to get you anywhere. Being patient is the way to go in this battle. Hold your ground, heal your teammates, and the victory shall be yours.
