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] The More, the Merrier! 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.
