During the fight you must keep Kiya alive from Jack's attacks and he's unvulenrable. Avoid his claw attacks, speed, and red energy fireballs with your [[Daring Dash]] because he's dreadfully fast. If he becomes solid and as he attempts to drain Kiya's life, attack him with your [[Lightning]] or the [[Magic Sword]].
