Attempt one: map, do not win
Identify arena constraints, the safest medium distance, and one obvious recovery window.
Attempt two: test the cue
Choose one threatening move. Write the visual or audio cue, your response, and whether the boss chains into a second attack.
Attempt three: protect the punish
Use a short punish you can repeat. Add damage only after you can exit safely.
Death review
Classify the failure: unseen cue, wrong direction, stamina debt, greedy punish, arena position, or build mismatch. Change one cause for the next attempt.
