How to Beat Illfang the Kobold Lord Guide

[1] The fight has three combat stages.

Whenever the Kobold Lord is close to defeat, it suddenly regains its full health, swaps weapons, and adopts a new fighting style.

StageDescription
1BossAttack1 It uses a hatchet and buckler. Standard Heavy Attacks or Sword Skills can break its guard, leaving it vulnerable to frontal attacks.
2BossAttack2It switches to a one-handed scimitar, allowing it to generate shockwaves and unleash rapid flurries of slashes.
3BossAttack3After losing a leg, the Kobold Lord drops to all fours and becomes more aggressive. It thrashes around the arena while wildly swinging its scimitar.

[2] It can summon reinforcements throughout the fight.

BossAttack4

The Kobold Lord casts a smokescreen and calls for reinforcements. Smaller kobolds soon join the fight, thin out their numbers to avoid getting overwhelmed.

[3] Reversal Slashes and Combination Skills trivialize the fight.

BossAttack5

Keep landing parries and don't forget to use your special skills. These will send the boss to its next phase in no time.
