The fight

A single phase. Same style as the Chapter 1 frog, with lightning on top: electric tadpoles, a charged tongue and lightning raining down across the arena.

One set: Shock is there from start to finish.

Spells, transformation and soaks are set at a Keeper's Shrine, never mid-fight: what you bring into a fight stays until the end. One spell per category: Cloud Step and Rock Solid exclude each other, pick one before the fight.

What it inflicts

Shock: electric tadpoles and projectiles, an electrified tongue, a rain of lightning. While shocked, you take more damage.

Attacks to watch

Electric tadpoles: his throat swells with energy, then he spits them in an arc or spins them around himself before launching; keep your distance and dodge as they arrive.
Lightning rain: a loud croak and marks on the ground; run around the arena or wait it out perched in Pillar Stance.
Tongue grab: a small hop, a step back, then the tongue lashes at you; heavy damage. Pillar Stance doesn't avoid it, Immobilize interrupts it.
Straight tongue thrust when you are far away: dodge sideways, never backward.

What works

Immobilize right away, then a combo: he has little health. Immobilize
Shock-Quelling Powder: removes Shock and briefly raises Shock Resistance. Shock-Quelling Powder
Pillar Stance against low tadpoles and ground lightning, Cloud Step against the tadpoles circling him. Cloud Step

Strategy

Attack from the flanks: you avoid the tongue in front and the back kick behind.
Light attack combos, and save the heavy attack for when he is immobilized or stunned.
He has very little health: open with your spells to finish him fast.

Access

Village Entrance, Sandgate Village: from the shrine, drop into the ravine and follow the path to a flooded area; Xu Dog waits by a rock just before. Optional.
