Red, called the Red Wraith in the 2025 demo, is an optional side-quest boss of Mandate Encampment who fights holding back. You can kill her or flee; according to the director, fleeing brings her back in the questline's final fight, and grants an extra Memory Flower.

Phases

  1. Red Wraith in red robes fighting Soul on the ridge of a tiled temple roof

    Rooftop chase

    Pursued across the rooftops of the camp (Justice Camp in the 2025 demo). One health bar, hers, on the curved tiles of a temple roof.

    She drops from a roof finial, leaps along the ridge to slash down at you, and marks one strike with a blue flash: parry it rather than roll toward the edge.

  2. Red Wraith attacking Soul in the burning camp, her health bar beside the Fallen Hope's

    Return

    Left alive, she rejoins the final fight beside the Chief Disciple's Fallen Hope.

    Her bar appears next to his, and the two attack back to back: a blue flash from one, then a red flash from the other.

How to beat Red

  1. Sparing her is the choice with the reward: the extra Memory Flower raises max HP and stats.

  2. Sparing her also makes the questline's last fight harder: she joins the Chief Disciple's second phase, so go into that fight with full potions.

Red FAQ

Should you kill the Red Wraith?

The director has said escaping her instead leads to a harder final fight and an extra Memory Flower. Killing her ends her story early.

Where is the Red Wraith?

In Mandate Encampment, the area the 2025 demo called Justice Camp. You chase her across the rooftops before the duel, as part of a side quest rather than the main path.

Does sparing the Red Wraith change the ending?

Her questline is a side quest, and side quests are what decide which ending you reach. Sparing her changes how that questline ends, with her return in its final fight.

Who is Red?
