When diving into the challenging world of a Soulslike game like *The First Berserker: Khazan*, players brace themselves for formidable encounters, and the battle against Yetuga is no exception. Here's a detailed guide on how to conquer this boss at the end of the Mount Heinmach level.
How To Beat Yetuga in The First Berserker: Khazan
As your initial boss confrontation in the game, the fight with Yetuga is a true test of your mastery over the combat mechanics you've learned. This aggressive adversary unleashes a flurry of attacks when you encroach upon its territory. Like other large foes you've encountered, Yetuga can execute both melee and ranged assaults, including a devastating leaping slam.
To emerge victorious, you must adapt your strategy based on your playstyle, focusing primarily on dodging and parrying to minimize damage. Yetuga's arsenal includes:
- A two-hit combo initiating with a left-handed downward smash followed by a right-handed uppercut.
- A four-hit combo consisting of horizontal swipes using either arm.
- A powerful downward smash with both arms.
- A leaping single-handed smash.
- A jumping grab.
- A charging attack.
Familiarize yourself with Yetuga's attack patterns during the fight, and seize opportunities to strike back between its assaults. Parrying is highly effective against all attacks except the jumping grab, as it not only helps you conserve stamina but also inflicts significant stamina damage on the boss. Exploit Yetuga's aggressive nature by dodging its charge and luring it into smashing into a wall, which momentarily stuns it and leaves it open for attacks. During these brief windows, aim to destroy the ice spikes on its back, which will weaken its offensive capabilities.
Upon entering the second phase, indicated by Yetuga's roar and power surge, maintain your distance. The boss will now wield a massive rock to smash at you, requiring precise dodging or parrying to avoid damage. Additionally, it will unleash a frost breath that spawns ice spikes; move away swiftly or parry at the right moment. Capitalize on openings to land Potent Attacks, and when Yetuga shows signs of exhaustion, unleash a Brutal Attack to deal significant damage, swiftly bringing the battle to a close.
Upon defeating Yetuga, you'll be rewarded with 4,800 Lacrima, along with Frozen Mountain gear items and the Necklace of Resolve, acknowledging your prowess in this challenging encounter.
