The Stalker is an early-game boss in Stellar Blade that can easily slice you to shreds if you are not careful enough. His attacks are easy to predict due to the well-televised prompts, but they are equally hard to counter. Stellar Blade’s combat is an amalgamation of Dark Souls and Devil May Cry, featuring intuitive combos, quick movements, and a list of moves that can be performed by pressing the right sequence of inputs like DMC.

The Stalker’s design is very much like the bosses from the Dark Souls games, so if you are a fan of the above-mentioned games, you should feel right at home. In this guide, we explain how to defeat the Stalker Boss in Stellar Blade.

To beat the Stalker, first, you must predict its moves. Each time it attacks you or makes a move, its eye flashes a signal. Depending on the color of the flash, you should be able to predict its moves. There are three colors for the flashes - red, yellow, and blue. Each time the Stalker's eye flashes, you will have a few moments to prepare a counter or move out of its range.

Red

When the Stalker's eye flashes red, it is about to perform a sequence of melee attacks. Keep a close eye out for which hand the Stalker starts its attack sequence with, as the monster changes its hand and direction with each attack.

If the Stalker has over 60% health and starts attacking from the left, it will follow this up with an attack from its right hand before shifting back to its left and so on.

When the Stalker has over 60% health, it launches a four-attack sequence. But when it drops below this percentage, it begins a seven-attack sequence and occasional three-attack sweeps. The best way to counter the red attacks is to parry. Press the Block (L1) button just before the attack
