Fenrir

Master the Fenrir boss fight in Assassin's Creed Valhalla with our detailed guide. Learn Fenrir's attacks, weak points, and the best strategies to overcome this challenging encounter.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weak points are highlighted in green on each of Fenrir's four legs.
• These weak points take the most damage, primarily from arrows.
• Melee combat is difficult and risky due to Fenrir's movement and jaw-trapping attack.
• Escaping a jaw trap requires spamming Mouse 1 / R1 / RB.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Basic Attacks
   • Lunging bite: Indicated by a red rune aura, but difficult to see. Dodge or roll; cannot be blocked or parried. Watch for his pounce stance.
   • Branch swing: Fenrir picks up a large branch and swings it side-to-side. Keep distance or dodge/roll at the right moment.
   • Burrowing attack: Fenrir burrows underground and charges. Watch for ground movement and dodge just before he emerges.
2. Phase 2: Advanced Attacks (Later in the fight)
   • Tornado: Fenrir twirls, creating a tornado. Run away from it. Watch for flying rocks and dodge them.
   • Rock throwing from hills: Fenrir jumps on hills and throws large rocks. Run to the sides of the rocks or dodge/roll if caught off guard.

Strategy:

• Equip the Focus of the Nornir ranged ability to slow time and fire multiple arrows rapidly. Stamina management is key.
• Prioritize hitting Fenrir's leg weak points with arrows. Hits to his main body do minimal damage.
• Conserve stamina by running and dodging effectively, rather than spamming dodges.
• Use the Brush with Death skill (Way of the Raven) after dodging the burrowing attack to slow time and target weak points.
• If caught in a jaw trap, spam the indicated buttons to escape.
• Maintain distance during the branch swing attack. Time dodges carefully for the thrown branch.
• The fight ends after you have bound Fenrir three times.
