After collecting the item, continue forward. You'll see three enemies fighting each other. We can wait for the larger one to finish off the smaller ones before engaging.
This big guy, Can Gang, is the first mini-boss we encounter. Let's take a look at its attack patterns (the main challenge in this game's boss fights lies in timing the Red, Blue, and Black Light attacks; most other attacks can be blocked with right-click, so future boss guides will focus on which attacks require perfect dodges or perfect parries).
If Can Gang's weapon hits us, it will inflict the Bleed effect, so be careful. The Bleed icon will appear above our health bar.
Red Light Attack 1: Typically used after breaking our guard. It involves a series of frantic forward slashes with a large blade, ending with a Red Light attack.
Block the initial hits, then dodge the final one.
Red Light Attack 2: Another move that appears after breaking our guard. It consists of two horizontal slashes (left and right), followed by a downward slash, then another horizontal slash, and finally two jumping downward slashes, with the last hit being a Red Light attack.
Blue Light Attack: Starts with an upward slash, followed by two quick slashes, and ends with a downward slash that is a Blue Light attack.
Defeat it to obtain the weapon "Can Gang Blade." This weapon is quite useful in the early game, as it can inflict Bleed on enemies.
