Sifu: Fajar (The Botanist) Boss Fight Guide

At the end of every stage in Sifu is a boss who will no doubt test your skills. Oftentimes these fights feel unfair, but thankfully, there’s plenty you can do to gain the upper hand. The first Sifu boss, Fajar, will likely cause some problems, especially since you’ll still be learning the ropes at this point. Here, we’ll dive into the easiest way to defeat the Fajar boss in Sifu.

How to defeat Fajar

We highly recommend starting this fight with a pipe, which can be acquired from the large warehouse before. There are two pipes lying around, along with other weapons you can make use of. If you don’t have a weapon, or simply want to beat the fight with your bare hands, our guide will still help – the battle will just be harder.

As soon as the fight begins, Fajar will always launch into the air and come down with a flip kick, so be sure you avoid or block this move right away. If this hits you, it’ll knock a significant portion of your health down. At this point, you’ll want to stay close to Fajar as much as possible. If you put distance between him, he’ll keep doing the flip kick move, so instead, stay right on him and unleash attacks. If you have the pipe, this will be a lot easier, but even without it, your main strategy should be to constantly attempt to parry and block the boss’ attacks. Once an opening appears, go in for a strike.
