You can defeat Blatonn in this game by spamming him with your attacks. This is a mini boss. Blatonn is an Alpha Vulver, so he has a lot more health than other Vulver in the game. But it’s not hard to deal with it. During combat, he mainly uses the following techniques:
- Slash Attack: Blatonne will attempt to stab the player. This attack is indicated by a yellow ring. This way you can either parry it or dodge it just before it connects. If you choose to dodge him, create distance between you and Blatonne. Spam your attacks after it’s done with his slash.
- Punch: Blatonne will raise both arms to knock Kratos down. Make sure you always parry this attack as it drains a significant portion of his health.
- Long chain of slashes: Blatonne attempts to attack Kratos with a long chain of slashes. There are only two main ways to deal with this combination. You can either roll back from it all the time, as if you were playing Dark Souls. Or you can pull out your shield and block all hits. This is a combo attack, so don’t try to parry it.
Counter all of the above moves, then keep attacking and you’ll quickly end this fight.
Tips for Defeating Blatonn
- Blatonn has a relatively low health bar. As such, he is somewhat easier to deal with compared to some of the other mini-bosses in the game.
- Be careful with his long oblique chain. Although he has less health, this attack can deal a lot of damage to Kratos.
- Parry his attacks: Blocking and dodging can be useful, but a quick way to take down Blatonne is to parry his attacks in time.
- Use his stun: Freya can shoot arrows at him until you attack. This will save the stun bar and allow you to fight more flexibly.
