Boss Fight: The Lost Wolf

The Lost Wolf has a variety of attacks, many of which are telegraphed by a red rune aura. Be prepared to dodge these:

• Burrowing Attack: The wolf burrows underground and emerges for a surprise high-damage attack. Avoid it by moving away when it gets close.
• Leaping Attack: The wolf leaps from a distance and slams Eivor to the ground, thrashing them in its jaws. This is a high-damage attack that must be avoided.
• Rock Throw: After the leaping attack, the wolf may dig and throw rocks. This attack lasts for 4-6 throws and inflicts moderate damage, but can be avoided by running.
• Basic Attacks: The wolf also has regular basic attacks with little warning. Be constantly aware and ready to dodge.

Strategy:

• Weak Points: Aim for the wolf's right and left shoulders to make it vulnerable to a high-damage stun attack. Ranged attacks are effective, as is the Sprint Attack skill (Way of the Wolf branch) for a swift charge.
• Skills: The Brush with Death skill (Way of the Raven branch) is highly useful, slowing time on successful dodges to allow for repositioning and retaliation. The Grit skill (Way of the Wolf) can recover a small amount of health after taking damage if you hit the wolf soon after.
• Weapon Choice: Weapons with good reach, like spears, are recommended. Large axes can work but may be too slow.

When the wolf is defeated, confirm the kill to end the quest. A cutscene will play.
