Welcome to our Dinoblade Walkthrough.
Part 1 begins with the game’s opening cutscenes before introducing the core combat mechanics. After picking up the flaming sword, you’ll complete a short tutorial covering blocking and parrying, light and heavy attack combos, sprinting, dodging, lock-on, healing charges, and charge attacks. As you make your way through the cavern, defeat the groups of smaller dinosaurs and a larger enemy to gain your first level before saving at a Save Stone. Continuing deeper into the area also introduces the Instinct Counter mechanic, a powerful counterattack that can be triggered by perfectly parrying a boss when their Resolve Bar is full. At the end of the path you’ll face the first boss, Kira the Exile. The fight is fairly straightforward once you learn to avoid his three-hit combo and charging attacks while using Instinct Counters to deal heavy damage. Defeating Kira unlocks the Summoning system, allowing you to summon defeated bosses in combat, while also giving you access to Soul Arts upgrades that can be purchased using Boss SP.

After the intro cutscene, head towards the flaming sword and pick it up.
Watch the next cutscene and prepare for battle. A short tutorial section will follow.
Tutorial
The first action will teach you how to block/deflect. This is essentially a parry mechanic. Timing the parry correctly will restore both stamina and resonance. Blocking late will consume stamina.
Next will be a Light Attack Combo, use your designated button to chain light attacks. Attack the blockade ahead and two more enemies will show up. Take care of them and go through the small tunnel. Watch the next cutscene.
The Cavern
Out in the valley now, learn how to Sprint/Dodge and keep moving. You should also remember how to lock on. You should have 3 Healing Charges as designated on the HUD.
You should take out all the small dinos rushing you as you make your way through the cavern. This should level you up and you should also learn how to chain heavy attacks now. A bigger dino will rush you so take it out. Save at the Save Stone. Resting will respawn all enemies. Make your way towards the waterfall. Crossing it will the popup for Charge Attack will show up. Charge Attacks is a range attack that costs 5 Resonance/Mana, the blue bar under your health. It will also cost you Stamina.
Follow the moon in the sky till you reach the next save stone. Go to the right from the save stone.
You will now learn about Instinct Counter. Essentially if you parry a boss attack when his Resolve Bar is maxed out, you will do a huge counter attacks. At the end of the path you will meet Kira, The Exile.
Boss Fight: Kira The Exile
Kira has a medium attack 3 hit combo that he swings for three times. Easy enough to move out of the way of that attack. It is telegraphed with a charge animation.
He charges at you and then follows that attack with a ground explosion in a straight line.
Instinct Counters lead to a clash attack and winning that deals massive damage.
He is not a difficult fight. Once he is down you will learn about Summoning. You can summon any of the bosses you have defeated in battle.
You can now check your character page to use your XP points to level up your Soul Arts. Soul Arts can be purchased with Boss SP.
