Stats / Weaknesses:

Category: Humanoid
Tier: Boss
Health Bars: 3
Region: Pailune
Location: Savage Peaks
Weapon: Sword & Shield
Weakness: Parry timing, Counter attacks
Learnable Ability: None confirmed

Phases:

Phase 1: Focuses on measured sword swings and shield bashes. Master parrying these to build stagger.
Phase 2: Incorporates devastating leaping attacks (marked by an antler-creak sound cue) that must be dodged. Continues to emphasize parry-counter play.
Phase 3: The Staglord discards his shield, dual-wields, and becomes hyper-aggressive with fast charge sequences. Focus on punishing recovery frames rather than matching his ferocity.

Strategy:

Master the parry system: Successful parries build a hidden stagger meter, leading to extended punish windows when filled.
In Phase 3, switch to a fast weapon with short recovery frames to weave attacks between his wild swings.
Watch for glowing runes on his antler crown; they pulse brighter as he nears a phase transition, serving as a visual warning.
Builds focused on Parry and Counter from the Green Spirit tree are highly recommended. Investing in Keen Senses is also beneficial for parry timing.
Sword and Shield or Spear builds are effective due to their defensive options.
Avoid trying to out-DPS him in Phase 3; play patiently and punish his recovery windows.
Interrupt his devastating Two-Hand Sword Strike using methodical Parry-Counter play, Turning Slash Mastery, and Super Armor Break.
