Tips
  • Kara's Wing Combo can be blocked entirely, but her Scythe Lunge requires a dodge roll.
  • Watch for the Chakram throw indicator: red means unblockable, no indicator means it needs to be blocked.
  • Prioritize killing summoned Draugrs to manage the fight effectively.
  • Use Runic Attacks frequently, especially when multiple Draugrs are present.
  • Save powerful Runic Attacks and Spartan Rage for Kara herself.
  • Consider equipping the new Talisman of the Realms if you don't rely heavily on Runic Attacks, but be mindful of upgrade materials.
