How to Defeat Hornsplitter

Hornsplitter uses slow but powerful melee attacks with wide swings that can hit you if you stay too close for too long.

Dodge to the side when he attacks, then move in and land a few hits while he recovers. He usually leaves a short opening after each attack combo. Don’t overcommit. Back off after a couple of hits so you still have enough stamina to dodge his next attack.

Repeat this pattern – dodge, attack, retreat – until the fight is over.
