Defeating Berude is a requirement to get further in the game.
Spear soldiers make it very clear that they’re going to stab in one direction.
Bow and crossbow soldiers have clean lines they aim along and slow-moving projectiles.
Berude’s projectile attacks move fast andher melee attacks throw up shockwavesthat take extra effort to evade.
Here’s her toolkit and which attacks you’ll be able to exploit to hit her back.
Ranged Tremors
Standing on either side of the arena, Berude will throw waves of rumbling earth.
A few will instead be thrown above you and are avoided by staying on the ground.
Jump
Berude will leap up and out of the arena.
Berude can repeat this attack several times in a row.
The best defence is torun horizontally as soon as you see Berude jump.
This attack does not leave her vulnerable afterwards.
She mostly uses it to get into position for using other attacks.
Ram Charge
Berude will lower her head and aram horn symbol will appear over her.
She will then charge directly across the arena with a trail of sharp rocks following her.
She repeats this additional times as her health decreases.
Once more when she loses a third of her health and a third time in her second phase.
You need tododge this by running up the wall.
This sets you up in a perfect position to repeat the dodge if she repeats the move.
After her final charge in the series, she will slump for a moment and be vulnerable.
Wild Swings
Berude hops forward repeatedly while swinging.
Each swing releases a pulse around her as she lands.
When she reaches the edge of the arena she turns around and continues until reaching the center.
You want to avoid this by running up the wall and over her between the swings.
She will only turn around when reaching an edge, so standing behind her is safe.
The shockwave from the impacts will prevent you from backstabbing with most weapons.
This is easy to dodge as long as you aren’t locked into a long attack combo.
You’ll most often see this moveafter she recovers from being staggered.
It can punish you for being too aggressive while she is vulnerable.
You’ll get a feeling from practice for how long Berude is vulnerable before you risk this counterattack.
Immediately after smashing the wall, Berude will refresh her shields.
It’s the most heavily impacted ability by the shrunken wall, which is tallest in the centre.
