Can You Beat the Mysterious Swordsman Id in Granblue Fantasy: Relink?

At the end of Chapter 3 in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, players will encounter a Mysterious Swordsman whom they must battle immediately after taking out a powerful beast. The trouble is, it’s not clear if they’re meant to beat this boss or not.

For the most part, it’s pretty clear what players should be doing as they progress through Granblue Fantasy: Relink‘s story. However, there’s a point just after beating the giant beast that controls the winds in Chapter 3 when everything gets thrown on its head. Players are forced to fight Mysterious Swordsman Id, and it’s completely unknown if they’re meant to beat him or not. It very well could be an example of a boss that it’s possible to defeat even though things look hopeless.

When it came to our character, he didn’t hesitate to put us down with a single hit. This is how we know this is a fight for players to lose in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, because our health bar didn’t reach zero. It was one hit at the end of the fight, then a cutscene played out.
