How to unlock the Enduring Victory achievement in Inscryption - Definitive Guide
Before this battle you will face 2 trials. For each trial you pass you will get a boon that will help you in the battle. Try to pick boons that synergize with your deck.
Phase 1 will have your opponent putting on masks from the first three bosses and using their mechanics from those battles, so by now you should be familiar with how those work and can hopefully strategize around those mechanics.
Phase 2 your opponent will lay out some blockers and start playing some... familiar cards? But otherwise he will continue switching masks, so continue working around those mechanics.
Phase 3 is last, and just try to do as much damage as possible. The stinkbug, or any card with the stink sigil will be particularly helpful in this phase.

Quickest way to beat phase 3 is to have a toxic card (skull and crossbones sigil that instantly kills anything it attacks) like the adder or long elk to take out the enemy then it's an easy finish

Leshy is the final boss in Act I, defeating him will allow you to move on to Act II only if you have fulfilled the requirements of Innocuous Insect
, Uncage the Menagerie
, Ancestral Vision
and Reborn Hope
, Otherwise, even a successful completion of this boss fight will put you back at the beginning of Act I yet again. You can play through the first Act as many times as you like, but you will need to play through it an additional 13 plus times while playing Kaycee's Mod in the post-game, so I suggest you look into those trophies to save you a few runs of the game.
Either way, once you have bested the third boss (see Face to Face
) you will enter the final purple-hued map that will give you three options of a destination and then the Leshy Fight. Once you step into the Leshy fight along your path you will be presented Boons for your fight. Just like the cave trials, you will pick from three options for each Trial and then the Boon you can receive from it, these Boons can award you such helpful items as the Magpie's Eye, which lets you pick any card out of your deck to go in your hand, or the Boon of the Bone Lord which gives you 8 bones at the start of the battle, among other useful rewards. After the Boon trial, your battle with Leshy will begin.
Leshy will cheat right at the beginning (what would you expect at this point?) and add a candle to his side, so there will be three rounds. On both round one and two, Leshy will cycle through the masks he has worn throughout the game and will use the other boss abilities randomly. You may see one or more of your cards get stolen by the Fish Hook, cleaved by the Prospector's axe and turned to gold, or turned into pelts by the Trader used to remove your opponent's cards. Play as you would any other totem or boss battle and look out for the heavy hitting cards or anything that has flight and can take out your precious five hit points directly. Keep in mind you have one life and he has three. It should also be mentioned, If you currently have The Angler's Fish Hook while Leshy is wearing The Angler mask after stealing one of your cards, you can get Role Reversal
during this fight!
Make it through the first two rounds and Leshy will reset and put down his final card. This card is large and takes up eight spots, it has a health of 40 and an attack of 1, but it has the sigil that shields from flying attacks (Mighty Leap) and two new sigils that will deal out one hit point to each of your cards. Use whatever attacking cards you can assemble to whittle down the 40 hit points and then finish Leshy off with the last five points to end the battle.
If you have the item from Reborn Hope
, now is the time to use it to move on to Act II. if not, play through Act I again to unlock some more of the lore and explore the rest of the puzzles in the cabin.

Story related, can not be missed.
Leshy is the head boss of Act 1. He is the game master who has been leading you through the card game this whole time. He also really likes card games.
He is a challenge because you only have one life like all boss fights, but he has 3 phases. If you have a deck strong enough to get this far you will most likely be ready to beat Leshy.
Phase 1:
Leshy starts with a Mole Man out and plays rare cards. He has the 3 boss masks floating around his head. He will put them on in the order of Prospector > Angler > Trader. With the mask on he will do the special attack from each of the bosses. That means if he has the Prospector mask on he will do the attack where he turns all of your active cards into gold. If he is the Angler he will still the most recently placed card. If he is the trader he will play 2 cards with bonus sigils, but he will let you buy one first. If you do enough damage to him on the first round you can beat him without him doing any of the boss attacks.
Phase 2:
At the start of the phase he will clear his side of the board. He will put trees down in front of your cards and play 2 Deathcards. These cards are pretty strong so you want to get rid of them quickly. He will continue to use the masks. The only difference between Phase 1 and 2 are the cards he plays.
Phase 3:
He starts by clearing his side again. He then turns around and takes a picture of the Moon. He plays the moon as a card. The moon takes up his whole side of the board. He does not play any other cards during this phase. The moon has 40 health and 3 sigils: Mighty Leap (blocks flying characters), Omni-Strike (strikes all 4 lanes at once), and Tidal Lock (at the end of the turn squirrels will be drawn into the Moon's orbit).
The Moon looks scary but it is not immune to Touch of Death or the Stinky sigil. Stinky will drop its damage to 0, touch of death will kill it in one hit. Once you have defeated the moon card you will need to attack Leshy directly. He will not play any more cards.
