## Key points

- Time parries and dodges to overcome the Gold-Masked One.
- His moves change at each Long Pillar.
- The first victory rewards Counterstrike Bracers.

## Summary

The Gold-Masked One is a recurring boss in *Phantom Blade Zero*, encountered at Long Pillars. Each duel tests the player’s ability to read attacks and time parries and dodges, making the fight a demanding check of the game’s combat skills.

The boss gains different moves at each Long Pillar; at the second, for example, he uses Sha-Chi-draining strikes that make weapon switching important. Beating him at each location reveals more about the warrior and earns an Accessory. The first reward is Counterstrike Bracers, which briefly increase damage after a parry.
