Tips to complete this sub quest
- When waves of raiders arrive, prioritize ranged / bow units first — they can interrupt your stealth or backline your fight.
- Use smoke bombs or throwable weapons to control groups emerging from fire or ambush spots.
- Be ready to switch stances: The bridge/construction fight requires mobility (for grappling and swinging) + crowd-control for the Oni with spears/kanabo.
- Don’t ignore the environment: Grapple points, ledges, weaker walls are there for a reason — they allow you to avoid heavy confrontation.
- During waves, don’t stay static: Enemies spawn and flank from fire zones and behind scaffolding. Keep moving.
A Fiery Consequence tests your mastery of stealth, timing, and crowd control. Stay mobile, use the environment wisely, and keep your fire-based tools ready — victory lies in precision, not brute force.
