Master Raider – Man-Eating Dhutanga Overview

• Dhutanga is a humanoid boss, meaning his attacks can be interrupted with well-timed strikes.

• Attacking from behind is highly effective, as it helps fill up the Obliterate bar faster.

• Watch out when he buries his weapon in the ground — pulling it out triggers a small explosion.

• Dodging his attacks at the right moment grants Skyborn Might, which powers up your abilities, weapon skills, or magic.

• The battle has two phases: in the second phase, Dhutanga gains a fire buff with faster, more aggressive attacks. Equip fire-resistant armor before engaging.

Dhutanga’s Attack Patterns

• Weapon Charge – He holds his spear and dashes forward before swinging. Sidestep or roll away.

• Stomp – Buries his weapon, then stomps the ground, causing a shockwave. Step back or time a dodge.

• Air Attack – Jumps high and slams down. Perfect time to roll behind him for counter damage.

• Spear Bury – Plants spear in the ground and pulls it out, triggering an explosion.

• Triple Strike Combo – A horizontal slash, a vertical thrust, then an explosive pull. Dodge or block carefully.

• Wind Slash – Spins his weapon, sending out two gusts of wind — one short, one long. Stay mobile.

• Explosion (Phase 2) – At 50% HP, Dhutanga groans and stomps, causing a fiery blast.

• Fire Breath – Briefly charges flame before blasting it in front. Keep distance.

• Fireball Shatter – Throws a fireball into the air and smashes it, causing an AoE explosion.

Best Strategy to Beat Dhutanga

• Stay observant: His stomps are easy to miss during the chaos. Pause your attacks and watch his movements.

• Dodge for Skyborn Might: Evade precisely as his attacks land to build power for counterstrikes or spells.

• Exploit his back: After jumps or spear-bury moves, roll behind him and unleash combos to fill the Obliterate bar.

• Use fast weapons: Swift strikes with Skyborn Might can interrupt his rhythm. Weapons like the Axe or Long Sword are particularly effective.

• Adapt in Phase 2: His speed increases drastically. Change your dodging rhythm, and rely on charged heavy attacks to stagger him.
