Strategy

Carry Ed's Grindstones to avoid getting any equipment broken by this Black Phantom's Scraping Spear.
Equip the Thief's Ring and either walk slowly toward him or hit him with an arrow to draw his aggro alone, leaving the other Black Phantoms unalerted.
Unlock and circle around him from the right, waiting for him to attack to land a backstab.
Use Poison Cloud, Death Cloud or Kunai to deplete his health safely.

Notes

• Appears regardless of World Tendency.
• Killing him has no effect on either Character Tendency or World Tendency.
