The Demon is one of three possible boss fights in the Notebook side story of Split Fiction. Unlike the Crab and Duck, the Demon is the most aggressive of the three, using a mix of ranged trident attacks and aerial movement to keep players on their toes.
This guide breaks down how to defeat the Demon, its attack patterns, and the best strategies to avoid damage while taking it down.
Choosing the Demon Fight
Near the end of the Notebook side story, players reach a gate where the captured prince is being held. This is where you choose your boss fight from three options:
Demon (A flying, one-eyed monster that throws tridents).
Crab (Burrows underground and launches water orbs).
Duck (Flies around and drops eggs).
If you pick the Demon first, be prepared for a ranged-heavy fight that focuses on dodging and repositioning.
Demon Boss Fight Breakdown
The Demon has three main attacks:
1. Trident Barrage
The Demon hovers mid-air and hurls multiple tridents in a straight line.
How to avoid: Run sideways or jump between gaps in the attack.
2. Ground Slam
The Demon rises high, then slams down, creating a small shockwave.
How to avoid: Jump right before impact to avoid getting stunned.
3. Energy Orbs
The Demon spins and releases homing energy orbs toward players.
How to avoid: Keep moving in a circle, as the orbs take a second to track before locking onto you.
Best Strategies to Win
Stay mobile – The Demon’s attacks cover large areas, so standing still makes you an easy target.
Use ranged attacks – Since it stays in the air, melee weapons won’t work well. Use bows or nunchucks if they’re available.
Watch for attack tells – The Demon lifts its arm before throwing tridents and hovers for a second before the Ground Slam.
Once you deal enough damage, the fight ends prematurely, and you must choose a second boss from the remaining two options.
Final Blurb
The Demon in Split Fiction is a fast-moving, ranged-focused boss that forces players to stay on the move. Avoiding its tridents and energy orbs is key to surviving. While not the hardest boss in the game, it’s the most aggressive of the Notebook fights, making it a fun challenge before freeing the prince and finishing the side story.
