You will encounter many bosses in Afterimage's world of Engardin, some being much more complex and challenging than others, while the rest are relatively straightforward to take on. Nonetheless, every boss has something to offer, and they can all be problematic in their own ways.
Some bosses offer very little when defeated and serve only to advance the plot, while others grant you unique Afterimages, enabling you to access previously blocked areas. The Lamellar Warrior falls under the latter category, giving you access to the ability to Dash while grounded or airborne, giving you much more freedom with your movement than ever before.
Lamellar Warrior Overview
After defeating the Lush Wolf, you will be prompted to head to Resting Town, having you traverse through the Rainbow Plains first before you arrive.
However, you must get your hands on the Emblem of Windwalker Afterimage to clear a sizable gap blocking your progress to Resting Town. The Lamellar Warrior drops this Afterimage, allowing you to Dash freely while grounded or airborne and cover great distances in a flash.
You can find the Lamellar Warrior by heading east of the first Confluence you stumble across in the zone, then dropping down the opening below the raised drawbridge. From there, descend all the way to the bottom of the area, then head west to reach its arena!

Lamellar Warrior Boss Fight Guide
Despite the Lamellar Warrior giving you one of the best traversal Afterimages in the game that will take your exploration and combat to the next level, the encounter itself is surprisingly straightforward and underwhelming.
The Lamellar Warrior only has three attacks, all of which are easy to avoid once you know what you're looking for. While they will spam these three attacks rapidly and fiercely, they are easily telegraphed and punishable, giving you the upper hand in most situations.
While this encounter is arguably much easier than even the Lush Wolf battle, we recommend using a Weapon with decent reach, such as the Whip or Scythe, as they will allow you to hit the Lamellar Warrior from just about anywhere shortly after dodging its attacks.
If using the Whip or Scythe is out of the question for you, you should still be fine, as this encounter doesn't mix things up too much. The extra reach just makes some of his attacks more punishable than they already are. You can learn more about his attacks in the sections below!
Charging Slam
Spinning Strike
Slicing Boomerang
Rinse and repeat these strategies until the Lamellar Warrior's HP is depleted!
