As stated earlier, Matthieu the Colossus is a boss in the Arena in the Gestral Village. Head over to the Arena and talk to Limonsol. Select your best fighter, and then pick Matthieu the Colossus as your opponent. Limonsol will then arrange the fight, kicking off the boss encounter.
Matthieu the Colossus has a fairly predictable moveset, but can be difficult to read due to his speed. The boss is a fast puncher, and you have to keep your eye on his forearm and fists (or blade in this instance) to parry him.
Matthieu’s main method of attacking is a standard left hook. The boss will jump up right before you and swing his arm in an arc for a quick hook. You have to parry this attack right when the blade starts moving toward you. Since Matthieu is left-handed, you only have to keep your eyes on his left arm to read his movements. He might feint with his right hand, but you should ignore that.
The next attack you have to watch for is the uppercut. The strategy to parry this attack is the same. Watch for when the arm starts moving up toward you, and parry. Parry and counterattack to beat this boss.
