Use your favourite features in-game with our Desktop AppStenor, the Butcher of Ash can be defeated by learning the timing of his attacks, taking advantage of his vulnerability to fire, and by using the Menacing Strike skill for your sword, also your Fire Magic whenever these are available.
This guide will breakdown the best way to take Stenor out nice and easily.
Stenor has a series of attacks that you need to watch for, including his overhead swipe. Make your way into the battle area and immediately lock on to him.
Stenor will do a series of 2-3 on the ground slashes with his sword, but notice when he jumps into the air to perform the overhead swipe, you'll want to avoid this by running or dodging away, however, there is a short window immediately afterward the swipe where you can quickly run in and attack him before he gets up.
You want to keep your eye on the bottom left and right corners of the screen to know when your abilities are ready to use, the yellow indicator tells us when they are ready, and when you have the opportunity to use them, definitely do.
Try to lure Stenor towards the fire in the center of the area, the longer he spends in the flames, the more burned he will become. Standing in the flames will cause Stenor to catch fire and take damage over time, however, the fire will also damage your character, so be careful not to remain in it yourself, for too long.
Once Stenor is burning, continue avoiding his bigger attacks while allowing the fire to gradually reduce his health and getting those hits in on him at the right opportunities.
Keep a close eye on your own health throughout the encounter and heal up whenever you need to.
So with the fire magic, burn effect, Menacing Strike and regular attacks working together, Stenor's health will steadily decrease and you should have him done in no time.
