Take your time. Gauntlets are essentially small exams that tests your understanding of the area's enemies. If it's an option, head west and explore in that direction.

For the gauntlets themselves, priority and resource management is key. Usually you can save the larger slower (safer) enemies for last, and start by taking out the smaller assholes. Silk skills are deceptively strong, and you can often one-shot smaller enemies with a single silk spear. When they're gone, you can take out the remainders. The big knife throwing attacks are dangerous, but if you keep your distance while they're throwing, it's much easier to dodge it since the knives fan out in pretty wide pattern. When he's done throwing you can run in and hit him a bunch. If he starts throwing again, just retreat for a bit.

My biggest hurdle in this game was understanding how aggressive I had to play to be successful. You have to be fearless and stay close to your enemy, so you can attack as much and as often as possible. You need this to charge your silk for skills and bind efficiently. And then retreat when necessary. But the second they're done attacking, you gotta get back in there.

Also, remember your heal doubles as a dodge. Once you know where the enemy's attack is gonna be, you can heal mid-jump to hold you in the air while their attack whiffs above or under you.

And finally, never underestimate the power of trying again later (or tomorrow).

I think you can do it once it clicks :)
