Recommended gear

With what you can get before this boss, in your first cycle.

Editor's pick No source recommends gear for this first chief. The Opulence set has been free for everyone since update 1.0.13 (Trailblazer's Gift, at any Keeper's Shrine): 33 base Defense against 10 for the starting outfit, and its Buskins grant a brief moment of invincibility during a jump light attack.

The fight

A single fight. At half health, a scripted grab triggers a cutscene that teaches you Immobilize, then the fight resumes in the same arena, with no change of element or weapon.

One set: nothing changes in nature, and Immobilize joins your spells during the cutscene.

Spells, transformation and soaks are set at a Keeper's Shrine, never mid-fight: what you bring into a fight stays until the end. Nothing reliable confirms that armor can be swapped mid-fight: a page only offers a per-phase variant when a shrine or a checkpoint separates the phases.

What it inflicts

  • No status effect: physical damage only.

Attacks to watch

  • His combos are 2 or 3 hits long; the jumping axe slam hurts the most.

What works

  • Immobilize, once the cutscene is over: freeze him, then follow with a light attack combo. Immobilize
  • Fully charged heavy attack, when the staff glows: charged from a safe distance, it knocks him down.

Strategy

  • Dodge to the side: his attacks are slow and easy to avoid, then punish during the gaps.
  • Stay locked on: he moves constantly.
  • He has little health: no need to take risks.

Access

Front Hills, Forest of Wolves: go past the first shrine, cross the Forest of Wolves bridge, then turn right and follow the wall. Mandatory story fight.

What it gives
