BOSS BATTLE - NOX THE KRAKEN AND HER TWO TENTACLES

Learn how to defeat Nox the Kraken and her two tentacles in Valiant Hearts: The Great War. This guide covers boss stats, weaknesses, and strategy for this challenging fight.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Nox Head HP: 4500
• Tentacle HP: 1000 (each)
• Weakness: Lightning
• Recommended Level: 45

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Tentacles First - You'll face Nox's head and two tentacles simultaneously. The tentacles have lower HP and are the primary targets.
2. Phase 2: Head Only - Once both tentacles are defeated, Nox's head will be the sole remaining threat.

Strategy:

• Target Prioritization: Always focus on the tentacles first. They hit hard with water magic, and eliminating them reduces the number of massive water attacks you'll face.
• Elemental Advantage: Lightning is your key to victory. If you've just come from the water temple, hopefully, your characters still have lightning oculi equipped on their weapons. This will significantly boost your damage output.
• Defensive Measures: Equip water oculi on your characters to raise their resistance against Nox's powerful water magic.
• Party Composition: While Aurora is great, don't be afraid to bring in your less-used characters for this fight. Some characters might have good defensive stats, healing abilities, or stalling tactics that can be crucial.
• Offensive Focus: The tentacles are vulnerable to physical attacks, but the head seems resistant. Save your attacks on the head until the tentacles are dealt with.
• Interrupts: Nox's head only punishes interrupts with an unstoppable attack, so focus on dealing damage rather than interrupting its actions.
• Party Swapping: Remember that you can change your party members outside of their turns. If you're struggling, don't hesitate to swap in characters with better matchups or abilities.
• Item Usage: Items in this game are incredibly powerful and plentiful. Don't hold back! Use them strategically to heal, buff your party, or deal extra damage when needed.
