Recommended Setup Before the Fight

Let’s talk gear first, because this fight becomes much easier if you walk in with the right setup.

Core Build

  • Strength-focused build
  • Heavy weapon (Jaw Axe recommended)
  • Solid early-game armor set (anything boosting survivability or strength works)

Weapons

  • Jaw Axe (+2 or higher) → Your main damage source
  • Secondary weapon → Optional backup (not really needed here)

The Jaw Axe works great because:

  • It hits hard per swing
  • You don’t need complicated combos
  • It fits perfectly with a simple “hit and dodge” strategy

Extra Tools

Even though the fight is straightforward, a couple of additions make it smoother:

  • Ranged option (like a Needler-type attack)
    → Good for safe chip damage
  • Defensive support (like Hardened abilities)
    → Helps you survive mistakes

You won’t rely on these heavily, but they’re useful when you need breathing room.

This boss isn’t about overwhelming pressure — it’s more about:

  • Watching its movement
  • Not overcommitting
  • Staying patient

Once you understand that, the fight becomes pretty manageable.

You don’t need anything fancy here. Just follow this loop:

  1. Wait for an opening
  2. Land 1–2 strong hits with Jaw Axe
  3. Back off or dodge
  4. Repeat

That’s it.

Use Ranged Attacks Smartly

If you’re running something like a Needler:

  • Use it when the boss is out of reach
  • Use it to safely deal damage between openings

Think of it as:

Bonus damage, not your main strategy

Positioning

A lot of players fail here because they:

  • Stay too close for too long
  • Keep attacking when they shouldn’t

Instead:

  • Keep a bit of distance
  • Only move in when it’s safe
  • Always be ready to dodge out

This fight rewards patience more than speed.
