Round 1 is pretty much the only round where the enemies you kill will restore your magic. You definitely want to have a good amount of magic going into round 2. Use your parries against the gorgon's physical attacks. This will allow you to get in free hits and use a grab that will petrify all nearby enemies. When the sirens appear, try to take out the gorgons first. They will restore your magic upon execution, and if you can land a parry, they will petrify all nearby sirens. Block the small lightning projectiles of the Sirens, dodge everything else. In round 2, use all of the magic you had left over from round 1 against the blue warrior enemies. When the guardian appears, block his two hit combo and then punish. When he powers up, avoid him and be mindful of the location of the flames. In round 3, the walls will deal damage to you if you touch them. Pretty much all of the centaur's attacks can be blocked. Grab the wraiths when they go underground, then juggle, then throw, then be ready to grab again because they'll go right back underground.
