How do u defeat first shadow minion?

there are 2 shadow minions!! and boss!!

First shadow minion easy destroy ice sword with flame breath when stuck in the ground.
then when thats gone use portal. get out of way of claw when dropped use chi to knock him
down and attack!

may take a couple of goes. i did this lvl 4

the easiest way i know is to use flame breath and then any of the 3 chi attacks

i did it like this flame breath till ice sword gone dodge claw and when it gets stuck i
use my shock spell over and over again till the claw is gone then he drops drown the i
use shock again

theres the ice minion (pretty easy)
fire minion (harder)
and the socerer (hardest)
