You've already defeated Corrupt Taro and Corrupt Woodsmith in Kena: Bridge of Spirits, but your toughest challenge lies ahead. To find the relics for the third spirit, Toshi, you'll have to explore the spirit realm throughout the village. This will put you on three different paths, and each culminates with a boss fight. Perhaps the toughest is the Mask Maker, who hits you with all sorts of tough-to-deal-with magic.Luckily, the Mask Maker doesn't really have two phases like previous bosses--he just throws a lot of different moves at you throughout the fight, and picks up the pace toward the back half of the battle. Even still, you'll want to try to avoid taking damage as much as possible by using arrows to knock the Mask Maker out of his tougher attacks, and save those heals for when you really need them.More Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Guides:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The boss at the end of the Warrior Path you'll take in search of Toshi's relics is the easiest of the three you'll fight in the village in Kena: Bridge of Spirits, but that doesn't mean you can get careless. The Warrior excels at close-quarters combat, so you'll have to shift your tactics away from getting an opening and swinging away; if you commit to mashing the attack button, the boss will block you and then counter for big damage.Unlike most other bosses, though, the Warrior is more of a sub-boss than a main event, which means he doesn't have two phases like the others. This can still be a tough fight, but you should have an easier time than the ones guarding Toshi's other relics, the Mask Maker and the Hunter. Here's what you need to know to take down the Warrior and clear this section of the village.More Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Guides:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Hunter waits at the end of the Hunter's Path as you work your way through the relics for Toshi, the village leader, in Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Of the three bosses you'll face in this section of the game, this one will likely take the longest, thanks to the Hunter's ability to fly and dodge-heavy fighting style. Avoiding its long-range attacks is key, as is countering with the bow yourself--but if you know how to hit the boss, you can open it up for big damage and take the fight to him.Unlike most other bosses, and similar to the others you'll face in this section of the game, the Hunter really only has one phase--which means if you get your tactics down early, you'll be able to handle the entire fight. The trick is recognizing and avoiding the Hunter's big attacks and taking advantage of the openings. Get used to trying to snipe the boss as much as possible, because you'll need a few good shots to his face in order to bring the fight to him.More Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Guides:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The final corrupted spirit you need to help pass over in Kena: Bridge of Spirits is Toshi, the former leader of the village at the center of the game. Toshi is a powerful fighter, mixing together many of the types of combatants you've faced before. He also nullifies some of your strategies--he'll block your arrows and bombs, rendering some of your best ranged attacks useless except in key situations. He's also tough up close, striking Kena with some powerful melee combos.It is possible to counter and beat Toshi, though, provided you know what you're facing and when to hit him with the right attacks. This guide will help you recognize what Toshi is bringing to bear on you so you can defend, parry, and snipe your way to victory in Kena: Bridge of Spirits' toughest boss fight.More Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Guides:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Things are looking to get extreme this evening, as WWE's Extreme Rules PPV is coming to your house. This year's installment is taking place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. As the PPV airs on Peacock, you can check out our live results for all the matches as the event airs below.Extreme Rules could mark the day that the Bloodline loses all of their titles. The Usos will face The Street Profits for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship and Roman Reigns will face "The Demon" Finn Bálor for the Universal Championship. Could this mean the end of Reigns being "the head of the table?" Extreme Rules will also mark the rematch between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women's Championship. At Summerslam, Lynch made her surprise return to WWE and squashed Belair for the title after a cheap shot. Hopefully, this rematch offers a bit more for the audience, as both these women are exceptional wrestlers.If you're looking to join in on the fun for Extreme Rules, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock--or WWE Network if you live outside of the US. There is a free tier for Peacock; however, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock Premium ($5 a month) or Peacock Premium Plus ($10 a month) in order to live stream the PPV. The difference between the two is that Premium Plus is not ad-supported. However, both tiers of Peacock play the same stream of WWE's Extreme Rules.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Netflix's Tudum event has officially kicked off and brought with it a first look at a brand new, upcoming heist movie: Red Notice, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot.Dwayne Johnson himself took over the Tudum stream to share a scene, calling Red Notice "Netflix's biggest movie, ever." Take a look at the sneak peak now.In the movie, Johnson plays an FBI profiler on the hunt for the world's greatest art thief (Gadot), with the help of "the greatest conman the world has never seen," played by Reynolds. He equated the movie to the action-adventure movies we grew up with and the scene--featuring all three lead characters getting into a brawl in the middle of a dramatically lit art gallery--certainly seems to back-up his claims. Of course, the fight gets progressively more absurd and eventually begins incorporating the museum artefacts themselves and ends with Gadot putting an end to things by handcuffing Reynolds and Johnson together.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been so long since Stranger Things Season 3 arrived in the summer of 2019. Now, after over two years, we finally have the first trailer for Season 4 of the Netflix original series thanks to the streaming service's Tudum event. You might remember that at the end of Stranger Things Season 3, Hopper (David Harbour) looked to be stuck in a Russian prison where the Demogorgon was also being held captive. Meanwhile, Eleven (Millie Bobbie Brown) was rendered powerless and moved away from Hawkins with the Byers family.Now, Stranger Things is picking up those story threads and introducing a sinister new character in Victor Creel (Robert Englund). It was revealed on the official Stranger Things Twitter account that the new character has been locked in a psychiatric hospital since committing a gruesome crime in the 1950s. Based on the quick look, it seems he killed his family, though the Upside Down may be involved if the flickering lights are any hint. You can see the first look at Creel in action, along with a very important tease about Season 4, below.We dare you to be upset about Dustin and Steve's friendship still being a focal point of the series in Season 4.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
