Boss Guide

Naglfar Eygon

Naglfar Eygon will usually begin the fight by rushing towards you. Time your evade to avoid taking damage. Alternatively, you can try doing precision guards to drive interrupt him, giving you time to land some hits before he recovers. Try to move sideways and attacking him from the flank or rear with Grave Edge to build up his Crush gauge. When he is incapacitated get in a few more hits before pulling back (he will get up and release an electric shockwave that will knock you down if you stay too close for long).

When he winds up his sword arm, get ready to guard or dodge away. He will begin his sword attack by slashing down and then sideways. The boss will also occasionally end the two-stage attack with a heavy downward thrust to block or dodge away.

When you try to stay too close to Naglfar Eygon for a long period, he will perform a quick unblockable grab attack. Watch out for this when he glows with red energy. Attacking his belly too often will also cause him to do a fast double punch. Lastly, the boss can perform an electric breath attack that covers a wide area going right to left in front of him. Move away or dash behind him to avoid getting hit.

Remember to heal up using Heal I or items. You can also replenish your Divine Art gauge using Arts Elixirs so you can spam Grave Edge frequently during the fight.
